As i wrote a couple of days ago, i’ve been working on converting a website with a lot of tables for layout to an tableless website using xhtml and css. The result is ok in mozilla but not very good in ie6.

The problems in ie are mostly caused by two bug, which are well documenten on the internet:

1. margins for floating divs are doubled if you don’t specify display:inline,
2. extra margin is added to the bottom of list items.

The page now looks ok in both mozilla and ie, althought the pictures in the top don’t change in ie when you hover over the menu. I’ll probably have to use some javascript or ie behaviours to fix this.

Some usefull ie workarounds are listed on mezzoblue and on Explorer exposed!.

Gerard Davison links to a demo of the use case modeller he has been working on. One thing this demo shows is that in jdeveloper the use case modeller is more than just a diagram of actors and use case circles. It also consists of a document. This looks like a useful implementation of use case support. As you can read in Applying UML and Patterns for use cases the documents are more important that the diagrams. So it looks like Jdeveloper got it right.

Oracle JDeveloper 10G production version has been released. You can download it here. All tutorials and howto’s have also been updated. And ofcourse a list of new features

One thing i’m interested in is if the binding language for data actions has been documentened and extended. Recently i tried to bind some input fields in a html form to a web service call (through adf data actions), but all input fields had to be mapped to attributes of one parameter object. I have no idea how to do this, only work around i can think of is to create a stub procedure which takes one parameter per attribute.
