Don't maximize your browser!



  • I was curious what the parcel browser via map function did in my county.  But when I first opened the page (in FireFox) it failed with "Parcel not found; detail map cannot be generated.  Please click on the LAST VIEW button to redisplay map" ... immediately after I opened the link.

     Assuming that the site was not FF capable, I opened up IE6 (which opens by default non-maximized) and the URL worked fine.  When I clicked maximize, it breaks.

     

    WTF?

  • I click on that link of your and it adds 8 entries to firefox's back dropdown (but works fine otherwise). Maximising firefox adds even more entries...

    IE6 opens up by default to however you opened it last time. 



  •  Foolish mortal, there's no reason to actually open IE...

     of course the TRWTF about that is the logic that it's somehow better to open the rendering engine via another application than the application itself. It works great, but I get a headache thinking about it.
