Nothing stays the same

It's funny, and great, how things are always being updated. Technology is always growing, and as a result forcing us to grow with it. I updated the site to using Dojo 1.4.1. last weekend. I had one minor race condition in the javascript that it 'uncovered' for me. That was a pretty easy fix, but other than that it has been smooth sailing. I do still have some touch-ups to do for IE that I am working on now.

For those who care, I maintain a separate css file that only loads if the browser is IE. The file is named iehacks.css. Anyway, this file is the last css file that gets loaded, so anything I put in it will override any other settings, to allow me to fix problems with the way IE renders pages vs most other browsers.

I also found some memory that was being wasted in the new web crawlers. That should allow me to expand and gather even more listings from more sources. We currently read from over 350 sources and index them all for you. So when you search on TikiWade you are searching them all at once.

I am considering adding a wiki to tikiwade so that I can create more documentation on tikiwade and stuff like this. I think that some will find it useful.
