WAP: Any good simulators still available? - simulator

I'm busy playing around with WML and was just wondering if there are any simulators still available? I have looked around quite a bit and have encountered a lot of dead links.

RESOLVED: M3Gate appears to work nicely

What causes (javascript library, cms, etc) the "white screen of death" in web browsers?

I was looking around Stack Overflow for an answer to this problem and found this old question...
Web Service Call in JavaScript Causing White Screen of Death (WSOD) in Browser
With my antiquated Safari web browser I find that I'm experiencing this on a number of websites lately. Here is the list so far:
http://www.treehugger.com/
https://www.udemy.com/
and I believe there was a third that I don't recall.
Basically these sites are completely useless to me. In the case of Udemy I've even tried this on my Nook using the Dolphin web browser and the problem persists. I find it hard to believe that a site like Udemy would be unaware of this continuing problem so I'm wondering what issues there are with my browsers that might lead to this.
Anyway, is there a particular javascript package that these sites may have in common? Any similarities between these two site that anyone can see?
Thanks,
Bob

Incorrect satellite image tile placement

Recently I started seeing the following nonsense with the satellite images in my Google Earth plugin:
The incorrect tiles fade in and out as I zoom, and at some zoom levels everything looks fine.
This happens across browsers (chrome, IE9, Firefox), but only on my machine. I've tried re-installing the plugin, but that didn't seem to help.
I'm using plugin version 6.2.2.6613
Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?
I have seen this problem before and again recently. The first time I was told it could be conflicts with the hardware accelerators but then the problem just went away.
Until recently I have had two instances of the plugin running in the same desktop application with no problems. Then a couple of days ago I started seeing the problem again although it is not happening today. I don't know if it would help but I would suggest rebooting your computer.
I've also wondered if Google was updating the plugin or the maps...
Sorry I can't be of any help but I suspect it will go away soon.
It looks like a DirectX issue to me. One possibility to fix is to force the plugin to use OpenGL instead.
You can control whether the plugin usese DirectX or OpenGL by altering the registry key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Google\GoogleEarthPlugin\Render\RenderingApi
The allowed values are:
0 (DirectX)
1 (OpenGL)
Try setting the value to use OpenGL to see if it resolves the issue.
Also, if it is a DirectX issue you could try disabling direct3D (as well as and texture acceleration) via the dxdiag as others have suggested.
Finally, you could also try disabling write combing on your card if it is enabled. This is usually done via the display properties for the card you are using.
I found that problem only occurs when I have multiple instances of the plug-in running. Especially if I have it running in two different browsers at the same time.

What steps would you take to make an already finished Layout browser compatible

I know there are a few questions out there regarding what to do to create a website from scratch having browser compatibility in mind,... but what about a finished website? I've been given a website that somebody else designed and it looks sweet in Firefox, but it's awful in any other browser,... everything is all over the place (Yeah, my skills to describe technical problems are amazing), collapsed divs everywhere! That's the biggest issue here, I guess if I can solve that bit I could figure the rest out from that point on.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Since you really haven't given any specifics that can be addressed, I would just state that I don't see any shortcut to resolving this.
Ideally, you'll be able to go through and make a list of those techniques that are not compatible with other browsers. If that will be too much work then you are sort of looking at a rewrite.
And this, of course, is the reasons why website developers should be testing on all major browsers as the site is developed.

Xcode 4 "Fix it" - when does it appear?

I would like to know when the "Fix-it" should appear? Is it possible to make appear on all errors (and suggest a change?)
Clearly an error in my code, which "Fix-it" analyzed and detected.
But can it help me even more?
Unfortunately Fix-it doesn't support all errors/warnings. I've looked for a list of supported ones, with no such luck. It's likely that more will be added in future releases. It's still a very new feature, so Apple will see how things go and improve, adapt, and update.

ALT capturing in Flex apps (yet again)

I know there have been similar threads in the past but I can't seem to find a decent definitive answer / workaround for the problem I'm facing.
What I'm trying to do:
capture ALT+SHIFT+something keyboard events. Pretty straightforward, right?
Issue:
When pressing ALT+SHIFT doesn't seem to ever shoot an event. The only combination that seems to work with ALT is CTRL+ALT+something, as pointed out here.
Question:
really? I've read that the browser catches some of the keyboard events, but this happens with the basic flash player too - maybe that catches events too? Would love to know if there is a solution that doesn't involve messing with JS.
thank you!
The problem as you've said is that the browser captures some of the key combinations, and the underlying OS may catch others. From the research I've done, and read about on the bug on Adobe's bug base I filed on this, it can be made better if you do an Air app, but even then there are some of these combinations that are just eaten by the OS, so it never even comes NEAR your application.
