Data from dojo.io.bind() in three browsers

I have a JSON format of data saved on my IIS server. When I access this using the
dojo.io.bind() the data gets displayed as follows in the three browsers (IE 7.0, FireFox2.0 and Opera 9.0):

[a]: Display with file accessed from a folder



Only IE 7.0 returned the data correctly.

[b]: Display when the file accessed from the intranet site(browsed on the IIS web site)



The writing to the browser was by
dojo.byId('x').innerHTML = data;

Both IE 7.0 and FireFox 2.0 returned the data correctly

Dojo Tutorials - the basic type

These are really simple tutorials that give you a flavour of what dojo toolkit has set out to accomplish. Simpy stated it is awesome. Check out for yourself using this learning guide brought to you by yours truly.

This one is especially for those who use IIS although you can provide any relative reference to the javascript script files that are necessary. This article shows how you can start off and create nice looking buttons and accordion panes. It also shows how they appear in three moderen browsers, IE 7.0, FireFox 2.0 and Opera 9.01.

Escape from the drab looking tooltip text of the windows programs. You may even see a sliding show using marquee (hush, hush). While marquee is not kosher stuff, the dill pickle you will see is every bit tasty.

Do you call this progress?

My brother quit his teaching position in India recently and the reason was the all too familiar mantra, money, money.

Medical schools in India, especially the privately run institutions take huge donations from students at admisison time (thank you, NRI). Once admitted they pass through the system without much of an effort on their part. My brother was ordered by the management not to take too much time of the Post-Graduates' time and harass them or else. This is because the managment has taken a lot of money and a pass is automatic. Attendance is all that is needed.

No wonder few miles out of Bangalore you see billboards such as,MOTTEN AND MEET SHOP METERNATYAND CHID CORE CENRTES and numerous other hilarious ones. You may also access letters to forums from recently 'educated' Indians, and you can have lot more fun.

Raw statistics, conversions and going rate for medical school admissions.

1 lakh = 100000.
1 crore = 10000000
1$=45.00 Rupees approximately

Four years ago a neutro-surgery seat at an institution in the State of Karnataka went for 1.4 crores and a cardio seat went for 1.0 crores. There are lots of aspirants from NRI's children living in USA, Britain, Australia, and the Middel East.
For a country bent on showing off its colours and progress this is pathetic.

Compromise on quality and you are in deep.....

Native support in databases for JSON?

When XML came into vogue Database vendors started providing native support for XML in the form of XML type in addition to the other data types. JSON (Javascript Object Notation)appears to be wire-friendly with a smaller size than equivalent XML although it is not as broadly applicable as XML.
Are we going to see native support for JSON in some form? May be some thing like :
Select * from tableName
for JSON

Water by Deepa Mehta

Wonderful film with great acting and haunting music. Perhaps flute being the simplest of instruments makes the greatest impact. For a moment I thought it was flute by Carlos Nagai. To understand ancient India (well, even now there are pockets where it is practiced) this is a must film.

River could have been a more appropriate title.

Monterey - Carmel
