Jammin!, Google, and Good Deed

I thought while I was jammin' out, listening to some Miles Davis that I should post an update...

Internet Explorer <LI> rendering problem

If you are looking at this post, you are probably already aware of the issues that Internet Explorer (read: EXPLODER) forces developers to deal with when using the
  • HTML tag to do certain things. Most all of the dynamic menu systems use this tag, so Internet Explorer is placing a huge hurdle in front of us.

  • FREE DotNetNuke Skins for Download

    Many of you often look for a free DotNetNuke skin to download and use for a specific purpose. It may be an uninportant site, a test site, etc.

    How To: Loop Through Controls and Change the Label of a Checkbox

    From time to time we need to do something that the .Net framework doesn't immediately expose to us (without some finagling). In this instance, I wanted to override the attributes that the labels generated by the CheckBoxList webcontrol. However, I only wanted to modify this one instance of it.

    Dynamically Creating a DataTable for Bindable Times

    I came across a requirement where I needed to create a DataTable of times for a project. This table didn't need to take up any space on the database since it would never change. The times would need to be listed in 30 minute increments for each hour of the day. This would then get binded mostly by dropdown lists.

    .Net Error: The specified path, file name, or both are too long.

    Here is an error that kind of irritates me only because Microsoft should have thought this one through. However, we find ourselves thinking or saying that more often then we'd like, huh?

    DotNetNuke Skinning - Error: Could Not Load Skin

    In helping a colleague learn how to create and upload DotNetNuke skins, I ran into an error that I was not used to. It was at first a bit frustrating until I stepped back and looked at it without rushing.

    DotNetNuke Upgrade

    I must say that I am thoroughly excited about the recent upgrades to DotNetNuke to bring us to version 4.05.00. There are a great many updates that address functionality and usability. Great job, Core Team!

    Whoa! The New DotNetNuke (v 4.05.00) Installation Wizard is Awesome!

    I have been using DotNetNuke since I first built my own portal just prior to the release of DNN 1.0. Although I didn't really jump on board until v3.x. Since then, we have all had ideas about how to make DotNetNuke better, but this time the Core Team has struck GOLD!

    Yeah! The NEW blog!!!
