Its not because it is a bad browser, I will leave that debate to people who have time, its simply because of its stupidity. Don’t get me wrong, i love IE8, i mean it is a great browser to work with compared to its predecessors, but c’mon when you get an error such as this “Line: 140203554 Error: Invalid argument.” what on earth does this mean?

Here is a simple addition to jQuery I got from stackoverflow, and just wanted to share with you. You could use it to get cascading style sheets (CSS) via AJAX and append to DOM . Very similar to jQuery.getScript.

/**
* Get CSS
* @param {Object} $
*/
(function($){
   $.getCSS = function( url, media ){
      $(document.createElement('link') ).attr({
          href: url,
          media: media || 'screen',
          type: 'text/css',
          rel: 'stylesheet'
      }).appendTo('head');
   }
})(jQuery);

//To Use:
jQuery.getCSS("/my/style/file.css") or
jQuery.getCSS("/my/style/file.css", "screen");

Extremly excited about our achievements with Tuiyo. First difference between Tuiyo and Joomunity: You will notice is that we have moved from mootools to using jQuery in noConflict mode. yes i am testing it with Mootools heavy template like those from Yoothemes and even jQuery heavy templates. The reason for this is because of the reluctance of Joomla to upgrade to 1.2 or even 1.2.3 now, which broke my style of working especially with widgets, also, because of the enormous simplicity of jQuery. I could not resist the jump. But fear not, Your mootools apps still work. Remember Joomunity used the core joomla mootools- JHTML::_(‘behavior.mootools). Hope you will enjoy the extensive (json based) Ajaxification in Tuiyo.

Is anyone else having issues with editing CSS properties in firebug 1.4.0 b5 for Firefox 3.5 on Windows Vista and Windows 7? or is it just me. There is a long fixed vs not fixed debate on the issue tracker.. but it really feels awkward working with a crippled firebug. Plus now there is a permenat Exception error displayed in the console…Well will give them some more time to fixed it http://bit.ly/KrwAJ

Please see the Frequently asked questions at http://www.docs.tuiyo.co.uk/ for initial answers to most of your questions. Rest assured i am working in all the free time i have to get Tuiyo out there NOW!
