What a week !

This week was a long one. Lots of work to be done, or atleast was asked from us. Amit and Abhilash had to put in extra hours to get it done and the work still continues as I write this post. My work is some what done so I am calmly sitting at a corner so that no one notices me.

The bugs that I got were all bugs which arose as a result of some miscommunication. Sometimes I understood it wrong, otherwise they interpreted it differently. 'They' are obviously NOT wrong. The major bug that took most my time was the one related to the Sortable list not working in IE7. I tried juggling with those classes but reached no where. At last a simple ' ' solved my problem :). The next major one was that the auto-completer in scriptaculous kept on disappearing when the container div's scroll was clicked. This was obviously because all the browsers except Firefox interpreted this as a valid auto-complete text field blur. The work around done was to entirely take off the onBlur event and be entirely dependent on the keypress(ESC key) and the selection of the element inside the autocomplete list.

Coding for the browser was also something we learned here. Amit had lots of problems uploading flv files via Safari. As I understand Safari gives a String Object instead of a StringIO object and therefore checking the content type becomes impossible. The attachment_fu plug-in therefore bombs and gives errors. Kudos to Amit for solving this bug.

To top it all up, I was to travel home today and my flight got canceled. Can't still believe it. This guy calls me up early in the morning to say that the flight has been canceled. He asks me the mode of refund and pleasantly says thanks. I had to spend a thousand rupees more to get a ticket home and am 'supposed' to go tomorrow. Let's hope that works out.
