Director Robert Altman dead at 81

Robert Altman, the caustic and irreverent satirist behind “M-A-S-H,” “Nashville” and “The Player” who made a career out of bucking Hollywood, has died at 81.

The director died Monday night at a Los Angeles Hospital, Joshua Astrachan, a producer at Altman’s Sandcastle 5 Productions in New York City, told The Associated Press.

Damn IE JS event behaviour

I’ve written some application in Rails, using prototype/scriptaculous javascript library. It works great in FF, but in IE it has some fails…

I’ve had following code:


<%= check_box "adsl_cpe_chk", "yes", {:onChange => "if (this.checked) { Element.show('adsl_cpe');} else { Element.hide('adsl_cpe');}"} %>
  
  

and if I clicked (set) checkbox, the select field was still hidden – until I clicked somewhere else – with IE only. I’ve discovered, if I replace onChange with onClick, it works ok. A few hours of trying everything are gone :(
