Quicktime heart iTunes = stinks

So now if you want to install Quicktime on your comptuer because some person on the other side of the world decided to encode their video in Quicktime, you must download it WITH iTunes. There is no Quicktime per se anymore at Apple. Just Quicktime with iTunes. I do not iTunes but who cares, really?

I am lucky to have found an old CD with a still relevant version of the Quicktime installer so I am spared, but Apple is taking every page from the book the Microsoft wrote apparently. We own you, suckers!

JavaScript: Accessing the window’s location

Just confusing.
I was trying to access the location of the current window using
window.location.

That works, but surprisingly, that is NOT a string object, but an object.
To get a string out of the location, you must access
window.location.href
which is the full URL in the window.

IE and onblur events

Internet Explorer is less than perfect.
The example of the day:
If you want to catch blur events, this way:

and you have a textarea element within the same body element, clicking inside the textarea element will fire the blur event for the body.

Retarded, I know. I am too.
