Time to Say Goodbye to IE6

The campaign website was launched last Fri, 4^th Mar 11 and to my surprise it is from Microsoft. It’s been ~10 years since it first release in August 01. IE6 is well-known for its compatibility issue and web developers often need to write IE specific fix. The good news is the number of users is 9% lower than previous year as shown in the “map” below. The biggest usage of IE6 are in China and South Korea. With such a large population using it, I wonder how long more it will take to reach < 1%.

One other thing to notice in the website is that the link “Want to learn about Internet Explorer 9?” is unnoticeable at the bottom right corner of the page. Could it be due to large number of IE6 users are still using Windows XP and IE9 is not compatible with XP? or Could be it be due to the cost of migration for business is too high?

Anyway, support the campaign by adding the banner provided in the site or tweet about it.

ExtJS 4 with Spring MVC Example

Introduction When developing a brand new application for the company I work for, one of the first thing I implement is "authentication". Not only is this process generally a prerequisite to access many other functions but it is also very simple and covers every layer of an application, from GUI to the database. So instead of another minimalistic "Hello World" tutorial, here is a "Login/Password" example, using 2 famous technologies : Spring MVC and ExtJS 4. Prerequisites Because this tutorial is quite long, I won't go into the details of each technology I used but I will mainly focus on how ExtJS and Spring can be nicely used together. So here are the things you should know before continuing : Spring framework (good knowledge) Spring MVC (basic knowledge. See Spring MVC Official Documentation for details) ExtJS "application architecture" (see Sencha Docs for details) Eclipse IDE + Tomcat 6 (or any other web container) You a...

In extjs4.1: There are many way for store filtering . Some of code i give here Filtering by single field: store . filter ( 'eyeColor' , 'Brown' ); Alternatively, if filters are configured with an id , then existing filters store may be replaced by new filters having the same id .
