    Third-party controls and support for Atlas

    So much to blog about and so little time... It has been almost a couple of months since my last blog post and there were quite a few things to comment - new initiatives, interesting updates, participation in events, etc. For some reason I felt guilty for having so much to say and not blogging about it and I was looking for "THE blog post" to get back into the game:)Luckily for me, and for all telerik customers, the dev team came up with some pretty exciting news - with a great sense of pride we are happy to announce the first major third-party component suite...

    IE Memory Leak Best Practices with AJAX in Mind

    Am I getting obsessed with memory leaks?  Give me a non-leaking browser and I'll cut it out .Yesterday I was hunting for a hard-to-find memory leak with r.a.d.treeview.  Our component cleans up its DOM element references and DOM event handlers when it is being destroyed.  Control destruction and resource disposal occurs on two occasions:  when the page unloads and when the control is updated by an AJAX call (r.a.d.callback, Atlas, etc -- the mechanism is framework-agnostic).  Now the treeview, being a good citizen, follows the leak prevention pattern of keeping references to DOM elements to a minimum.  Most of the...

    Automating Complex JavaScript-rich Controls with Watir

    Watir is a web testing tool that allows you to automate Internet Explorer and script interactions with your web application.  It uses the COM automation interface to drive the browser.  The nicest thing about the tool is that it allows you to use Ruby to create the test scripts.  Ruby is an unobtrusive, easy to learn, fully object-oriented language whose power at abstraction building will allow you to bring your testing to a level you never previously imagined. Now, a lot of people love and use Watir, and we have been getting requests for help on scripting our web controls with Watir.  All of our controls are pretty complex beasts and require...

    The invisible memory leaks in MS Internet Explorer

    Oh boy, not another memory leak post!  We already got a couple here and there.JavaScript development is so frustrating at times that every little victory counts.  The seemingly memory-managed, easy-to-write script language sometimes is harder than C++, and believe me, I've had my fair share of C++, Win32  and COM development.  As if it's not enough that you have to deal with each and every browser's way of implementing the "standard", but now you have to manage and free your own memory.Memory leaks have not been a big problem most of the time.  Well, a leaked <div> or <td> here or...

    Playing with minimo

    With mozilla minimo recently released it will be interesting for web developers and geeks alike to mess around with it. For those not familiar with minimo it is basically mozilla’s alternative to pocket internet explorer for PDAs, smartphones and other devices that use Windows CE. And yes, it does have tabs! Here is what we can read on the official website (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/): The Minimo has been focused on code-size and runtime footprint reduction, small screen usablity, and porting to small consumer devices. We hope to make Minimo the browser of choice on small devices, or machines with limited system resources; taking advantage of...
