Don't Back Down

Very rarely do I think that IE is a good browser. But I have to give them a tip of the hat for their conditional comments. This feature saved my butt, by allowing a construct something like this one:

      <!--[if IE]>
        <p>Welcome to Internet Explorer.</p>
      <![endif]-->

Any browser other than IE simply ignores the useless comment. Meanwhile, IE steams full speed ahead and uses the enclosed information. Sweet.

Today I was working with a client and having a bear of a time getting their Movable Type 3.17 install working on their GoDaddy hosting account. It turns out that the way the script name was accessed had changed - and since GoDaddy runs under sbox, it was returning sbox as the name when it redirected you back to the page! So with a few small edits to App.pm, I got around this issue and made things work.
