Test Zone
This page is where I test out various bits of javascript that I have probably adapted from stuff found in books or other websites. Why re-invent the wheel? This page is also the hub for further test webpages on styling and other web technologies. I have never really had the time to master Java which is a shame. I want to try some Ajax stuff soon. But how do you keep up when its only an interest rather than a job.
While I do not like Microsoft, you cannot ignore them and occassionally they buy a good product before rebranding it and adding their marketing spin on top so I do keep an eye on and have to use their stuff - just rarely by choice.
So now we have IE8, FF3, Opera 10 and Chrome 2. And what do I use? All of them but I prefer Chrome and Firefox. Chrome doesn't support all wen content where as Firefox does and I like my Addons. I have added WeatherFox, FootieFox and various development tools. It is good that each browser (excepting IE) adds something new and extra to the overall party and drives forward development of all of them.
When I have a good connection, something greater than dialup, I prefer the RSS route. This brings the content to you - sort of. I hear IE7 supports RSS - Microsoft are playing catch up as usual. They have never been great innovators but are good a bringing stuff to the attention of the masses. And as usual they are trying to change the standards to suit their applications. I know they are not alone in this but they seem to believe they are always correct and know what is best for us all.
More on my projects.
You can never test too much. Well actually you can never test every pathway and permutation so just try the most used, critical, and possible - or read a decent guide book for a more full strategy.
Next
Plans for next major update are to move the fantasy formula one to a database backed website. Given my web server it will be driven by PHP scripting and the database will be MySQL. This means moving a Delphi application or maybe it doesn't? That will be the first question to answer.
Trying out some Ajax
This is a very simple example that just fetches a small amount of text and displays it in a paragraph below. Make the request.

Please be advised not everything on this page always works correctly because it is my test zone!
