If IE 6.0 reports a Javascript error at, say, "line 7 char 2", what line is it counting from? The first line of javascript? the <script language="javascript">? First line of HTML?
Does "char 2" mean the second character of the line?
I use a text editor called Editplus and it's been my experience that "Line" is the first line in the file. Therefore, if it's javascript in a html file, then line one is the !DOCTYPE (or <html> if you have no doctype). "Char" refers to the individual characters, so
line 1 char 2
of !DOCTYPE is the "D". For <html> it would be the "h".
I seem to remember that there is a mobile optimized version of b.org... am I crazy?
BTW I am posting from my phone!
Spent my tax refund. Posting from my new toy iPod touch. This is going to take some getting used to.
Flash not coming to iPhone: [link]
So I guess Flash (a-ah) is not really the Savior of the Universe. Not only will he
not
save every one of us, but he's
not
King of the impossible either.
Adobe has a mobile version of Flash called Flash Lite. They missed a huge marketing opportunity by not calling it Kid Flash.

Also missed a huge lawsuit by Time Warner/DC Comics.
6 of one, half dozen of the other...
"I'd even go as far as to say that the web experience isn't complete on the iPhone until some kind of Flash support is added," wrote Stewart, who added that 450 million mobile devices are Flash enabled.
Right now I'm agreeing. Flash seems to have a huge penetration in terms of quick media clips, as well as web site applications.
Jobs's comments came on the same day Microsoft Corp. announced a deal to make its Silverlight media player available on mobile phones using Nokia Corp. software.
Microsoft launched Silverlight, a challenger to Flash, for PCs in April 2007. It will run on smartphones that use the newer S60 version of Nokia's Symbian mobile phone operating system, as well as older ones using the S40 version, Microsoft said.
Interesting. I didn't know Symbian and Nokia had the edge on the Smartphone market. I thought it would be Windows CE. If Silverlight is to be a competitor to Flash, will it play Flash files?

Especially considering there's a freaking YouTube widget built right into the damn thing.
silverlight doesn't play Flash. It's Microsoft's attempt to kill off Flash with their own solution. I'm sure it'll get bundled with the next version of Windows, which pretty much means Flash = teh dead in 5 years.
Personally, I don't really miss flash much on the iPhone.
