Charlie,
Absolutely. Inheritance is core to GUI components (a button). Subclassing that, and making it a graphic button, etc. Wonderful.
But it is the ONE area of OOP that really requires "Architectural Forethought". And if I am not building a complete framework, I try to limit my inheritance requirements. But it is great when you have a client say: We need to generate a PDF of any of the given screens, and you can add that to the base class, expose the access method and bam... 40 screens now have cool functionality!

Now that's just a good damn idea - right up there with a brilliant flash of the obvious. You could almost leave the base class empty as a hook.

Something very fishy about that one. Nonetheless, it will tide me over until tomorrow.

I just found out the project I've been working on for the past few months needs IE8 support...
Step 1: Bravely start by changing your version of jQuery.
Step 2: Behold all the errors as IE revels in wickedness.
Step 3: Cry.
Step 4: Apply for a job at McDonalds.
Whyyyyyyy!?

Compared to IE8? Oh yes, I love McDonalds!

Put this in the html header and you're done:

Why stop at IE9?

It could have been worse... IE6...

Or Netscape

Fortunately for me, the powers-that-be finally listened and declared us a FireFox shop. Prior to that it was IE8.
I developed everything to work in both.
Now I don't.

Hello all,
Today I wanted to add a PDF document into my LinkedIn profile... something as easy as that should work flawlessly, but every time I've tried to make it I've got a message telling me it has not been possible to attach the document, that I should refresh the page and try it again... Of course this is not the end of the world, but I would like to know if anyone here has managed to get it done.
The PDF document is much more smaller than what is allowed and I've tried it with IE11 and Chrome...
Any idea?
Thank you all!
