This is (EF BB BF) C3 B6 3D 22 21 22 loaded into browsers under various labels. That happens to be properly formed ECMAScript code for all the encodings used. The bogus results for Opera9 can easily be reproduced in context of the testing script, but probably not individually from a clean cache; what's going on there is unknown. I also noted in running these tests that Opera claims "Opera supports the entire ECMA-262 2nd and 3rd standards with no exceptions" while in fact their implementation does not, the parser rejects code that follows the IdentifierStart :: UnicodeEscapeSequence production of ECMA-262 section 7.6. Instead it implements Opera-only extensions, like comma-free arrays ala [ 1 2 3 ]. Other fun facts include: IE does not implement onload for iframes and cannot modify the innerHTML or tr elements; Firefox ignores "tags" when setting the innerHTML of dynamically created tr elements with no ownerElement... Oh and Opera again needs /th "tags" so it won't nest adjacent th elements when setting innerHTML.
Pour aider les bibliothécaires américains à mieux cerner les conséquences de l’accord, l’ALA (American Library Association) a pris de son côté l’initiative de publier un Super Simple Summary en deux pages seulement, qui permet d’aller à l’essentiel. Sur une suggestion de Marlène lancée au détour d’un échange sur Twitter (c’est fou tout ce qui commence sur Twitter en ce moment !), je me suis attelé à une traduction en français de ce résumé, pensant qu’il pourrait s’agir d’un appoint utile pour mieux appréhender l’accord Google de ce côté-ci de l’Atlantique. Merci à Marlène d’avoir lancé cette idée, ainsi que pour sa relecture et ses corrections ! Vous pourrez trouver cette traduction sous la forme d’un document public acessible sur GoogleDoc (décidément pas moyen d’échapper à Google !). La traduction a également été déposée dans E-Lis à cette adresse.

“How can you best embed Flash content?” In search of an answer, Bobby van der Sluis of UFO fame defines the criteria that matter most to modern web developers: standards compliance, cross browser support, support for alternative content, avoidance of content/player mismatches, auto-activation of active content, and (why not?) ease of implementation. He then surveys current best-practice alternatives, explains how each works and evaluates pros and cons. And he wraps it up with a surprise ending. Oops. Spoiler.

An abortion business in Huntsville, Ala., should be closed down after the state Health Department cited the location for violating 10 state laws, according to the front-line pro-life Operation Rescue. According to officials, the Alabama Women's Center for Reproductive Alternatives was found to have been forwarding after-hours medical emergencies to non-medical personnel, routinely failing to document the gestational age of the unborn baby, and releasing abortion patients without following the mandatory 20-minute recovery period, according to a statement from Operation Rescue.
