Drip - IE Leak Detector

A number of people have written to [me] asking questions about their memory leak issues with DHTML (or AJAX) applications. Unfortunately, there's not much [I] could offer in the way of advice that most people don't already know. Get rid of closures, unhook your event handlers, etc. This advice just isn't all that helpful when you've got a giant mess of JavaScript (often inherited) and visually detecting leak scenarios can be maddeningly subtle.

[I] did, however, find it quite surprising that no one had ever built a leak detector for Internet Explorer (or apparently for any other browser with leak problems; Mozilla has some, but they seem to be more for developers working on Mozilla itself, and the browser does a pretty good job of cleaning up leaks anyway). So [I] built one.

Browser Shots

This project is concerned with a favorite problem of web designers: websites look different in other browsers. Testing a new site in many browsers can be quite time-consuming. Not everybody has a farm of legacy machines with older OSes and browsers.

Internet Explorer Tools for Validating XML and Viewing XSLT Output

Currently, when browsing XML files using Microsoft® Internet Explorer, the XML documents are not validated. In addition, when viewing the source of the document, only the XML is returned and there is no way to view the output from the XSL or XSLT style sheet that may have been used to transform that XML document. The Internet Explorer tools for validating XML and viewing XSLT output will enable a shell option when viewing XML files to see the processed XSL output. In addition, you can also validate XML against an embedded schema when loading XML via the Internet Explorer MIME viewer. This can be a useful tool when you are trying to debug XSL formatting problems in Internet Explorer or are doing quick schema validation.
