Started getting this error today while working in Dreamweaver.  Turns out, there was a pretty simple fix.  Just delete the WinFileCache-7A9586CB.dat, MacFileCache-BFE7CE2E.dat, or FileCache.dat file from the Dreamweaver user configuration folder.  File name may vary slightly.

Was located in: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration

Rounded corners are the craze with this Web2.0 stuff and I had to find a solution to create them with no images and no JavaScript.  Here’s how I did it.

The basic idea was to make colored lines to create the corners.

Here’s the HTML to get the corners:

Here’s the CSS you’ll need:

I used the b element because it can be nested in almost every kind of tag and doesn’t have a semantic meaning.

Google Chrome

If you’re remotely interested in IT/technical news, I’m sure you’ve heard Google released their new Google Chrome web browser on Tuesday.  Chrome uses the WebKit rendering engine which is also what is used by Apple’s Safari web browser.  Google does use a new JavaScript VM though which makes it a bit faster with JScript than Safari.

My first impression with the browser is pretty positive.  It really looks like Google is making progress towards a browser to capture the power of new web technologies and ideals.  The way it handles multi threaded tabs and sandboxes the web site is definatly a step in the right direction for performance, stability and security.  The biggest thing holding it back right now is lack of features gained through AddOns for Firefox.  It does offer some things Firefox doesn’t though out of the box.

Performance wise, it seems to be the fastest browser out at the moment:

For me personally, there’s some hangups at the feature department with the lack of a Delicious AddOn and I’m pretty partial to FireFTP as well.

Firebug is huge and while there’s some nice developer tools in Chrome it isn’t quite right yet.

Some of the out of the box features of Chrome did appeal to me though and after some digging around came up with some Firefox extensions to capture that functionality.

• Incognito Mode = Stealther
• Download Status Bar
• Domain Highlighting = Locationbar2

With a few AddOns I’ve got most of the best features of Chrome in Firefox except the awesome process handling and sandboxing.  Based on my personal workflow, I can’t quite replace Firefox with Chrome yet but I do like where it’s going and look forward to it’s development.

So Mozilla’s “Download Day” has come and gone and I don’t feel overly excited about the passing of the event.  For those that don’t know, Mozilla wanted to create a world record of most downloads in 24 hours.  Well, they clocked in over 5 million downloads thus I suppose they did “set the record” although I couldn’t find any evidence that there was a record before this to “break”.  I guess everyone needs a reason to feel important though, why should Mozilla be any different.

Overall, FF3 seems fine.  It renders JavaScript faster which is the main attraction to me so your AJAX apps will be a bit snappier but other than that the new “features” don’t really seem that impressive.  I guess it’s pretty hard to be innovative with a web browser at this point.
