Internet explorer, Null!

What. Were. People. Thinking.

>new String(null).toString()
"null"

Ridiculous. Firefox doesn't do anything that stupid. Worse, it's broken my populate form from JSON code.

    populate_data: function(report) {
        for (key in report) {
            if (!$(key)) {
                continue;
            }

            $(key).value = report[key];
        }
    }

Internet Explorer, String.concat() and Javascript 1.5

Hello, Internet Explorer... have you ever tried to join two strings together?

Not add them ambigiously with

"a" + "b"

but

String.concat("a", "b");

them?

I'm guessing none of your developers ever has, because it doesn't work.


Why this acceptable:

String.fromCharCode(12);

but for concat, you have to do:

String("a").concat("b");

?

Ridiculous.

You can stop with the software releases now...

Songbird 0.2, Internet Explorer 7, Gaim 2.0.0beta4.

What a busy day.
