  2. &lt;p&gt;It’s important to note that this document is still subject to change with future publications&amp;nbsp;and that these observations are meant to provide a high-level overview of broad-level changes that will be important to be aware of going forward. As such, these details are likely to remain valid regardless. Also, many of these additions are minimally supported or not supported at all by browsers and assistive technologies as yet.&lt;/p&gt;
  3. &lt;p&gt;I’ll be posting a quick summary, and my thoughts here that will be divided between four&amp;nbsp;blog posts. Today’s post will include the deprecations and some additions in ARIA 1.1.&lt;/p&gt;
  4. &lt;h2&gt;Deprecations&lt;/h2&gt;
  5. &lt;p&gt;In ARIA 1.1 the drag and drop attributes aria-grabbed and aria-dropeffect were slated to be deprecated.&lt;/p&gt;
  6. &lt;p&gt;The idea was to use native accessibility API features for drag and drop instead. However, in practice, since the accessibility API features for accessible drag and drop still don’t exist and likely won’t for several years, these attributes will continue to be supported on the Windows OS and reflected in the accessibility tree for some years to come until these APIs become available for use in development.&lt;/p&gt;
  7. &lt;p&gt;As such, the prior &lt;a href=&quot;http://ift.tt/2iMaguU&quot;&gt;ARIA 1.0 guidance for making drag and drop accessible&lt;/a&gt; still remains valid at this time.&lt;/p&gt;
  8. &lt;h2&gt;Additions&lt;/h2&gt;
  9. &lt;p&gt;aria-keyshortcuts&lt;/p&gt;
  10. &lt;p&gt;The aria-keyshortcuts attribute was added to convey which hotkey combinations are available to activate or focus on a particular element.&lt;/p&gt;
  11. &lt;p&gt;This is not like the accesskey attribute, where the modifier is handled by the browser and may differ between browsers, but instead represents the static shortcut combination that is programmed across all browsers.&lt;/p&gt;
  12. &lt;p&gt;In all cases where aria-keyshortcuts is used, these key commands need to be added by the developer using JavaScript, because there is no way for the browser or AT to know the expected functionality of all custom hotkey combinations. This attribute simply conveys the availability of these shortcuts and identifies what they are.&lt;/p&gt;
  13. &lt;p&gt;In short, adding the aria-keyshortcuts attribute without including the relevant scripting to make it work will result in shortcuts being conveyed to the user that do nothing when pressed.&lt;/p&gt;
  14. &lt;p&gt;At present, the&amp;nbsp;aria-keyshortcuts&amp;nbsp;attribute should only be used on focusable active elements.&lt;/p&gt;
  15. &lt;p&gt;aria-roledescription&lt;/p&gt;
  16. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;aria-roledescription&amp;nbsp;attribute is meant to suppress the native role of an element and replace it with whatever the attribute string value states.&lt;/p&gt;
  17. &lt;p&gt;It’s important to note that the underlying role mapping remains the same in the browser and accessibility API, however assistive technologies like screen readers will announce only the value of aria-roledescription as the role of the element instead of the actual role that is mapped. At least, this is what the specification states.&lt;/p&gt;
  18. &lt;p&gt;However, some screen reader venders have already stated that they will not prevent the role from being conveyed to their users because this would cause too much confusion, but will instead announce both, thus forecasting that they have no intention to follow the spec in this matter. This will result in&amp;nbsp;some screen reader vendors suppressing the role and others not, making this an unreliable attribute at best, and potentially an extremely dangerous feature if misused by conveying the wrong role or an incomprehensible role on critical interactive controls.&lt;/p&gt;
  19. &lt;p&gt;aria-modal&lt;/p&gt;
  20. &lt;p&gt;The aria-modal attribute was added to accompany the roles ‘dialog’ and ‘alertdialog’, to indicate to browsers and assistive technologies that the dialog is meant to be modal or non-modal.&lt;/p&gt;
  21. &lt;p&gt;If set to ‘true’, the background content in the accessibility tree should be hidden by browsers and assistive technologies so that only the modal content is perceived by the user.&lt;/p&gt;
  22. &lt;p&gt;If set to ‘false’ or left undefined, then the background content should not be hidden from the perception of AT users.&lt;/p&gt;
  23. &lt;p&gt;Currently this is only supported on iOS using VoiceOver iOS 9.X, so additional testing is needed to verify future levels of support.&lt;/p&gt;
  24. &lt;p&gt;To ensure forward compatibility for ARIA dialogs, all modal dialogs that use either role=”dialog”or role=”alertdialog” should include aria-modal=”true” to enable this support in the future. This should only be true for modal dialogs where the background content is not meant to be interacted with while the modal is open.&lt;/p&gt;
  25. &lt;p&gt;aria-errormessage&lt;/p&gt;
  26. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;aria-errormessage&amp;nbsp;attribute takes an ID reference in the same manner as aria-describedby, and is only exposed when&amp;nbsp;aria-invalid&amp;nbsp;is set to ‘true’ on the same element. The use of a live region attribute such as aria-live=”polite” on the error message container element is optional.&lt;/p&gt;
  27. &lt;p&gt;aria-placeholder&lt;/p&gt;
  28. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;aria-placeholder&amp;nbsp;attribute is meant to simulate the HTML5 behavior of the placeholder attribute and make it valid within other simulated control types and roles where the HTML5 placeholder attribute is not valid.&lt;/p&gt;
  29. &lt;p&gt;All scripting, styling, and functionality of the use of this attribute must be implemented manually by the developer since the attribute itself is not meant to have any effect on browser functionality.&lt;/p&gt;
  30. &lt;p&gt;The aria-placeholder attribute and the HTML5 placeholder attribute should not be used together on the same element, nor should aria-placeholder be used on native form controls where the HTML5 placeholder attribute is appropriate.&lt;/p&gt;
  31. &lt;p&gt;aria-current&lt;/p&gt;
  32. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;aria-current attribute is meant to convey to an assistive technology that this is the current item within an associated collection of elements.&lt;/p&gt;
  33. &lt;p&gt;When set to “false”, “”, or the attribute is undefined, nothing is exposed to assistive technologies. Otherwise, aria-current accepts a list of token values that convey the type of item being represented in the set. These are listed below:&lt;/p&gt;
  34. &lt;ul&gt;
  35. &lt;li&gt;page = Represents the current page within a set of pages&lt;/li&gt;
  36. &lt;li&gt;step = Represents the current step within a process&lt;/li&gt;
  37. &lt;li&gt;location = Represents the current location within an environment or context&lt;/li&gt;
  38. &lt;li&gt;date = Represents the current date within a collection of dates&lt;/li&gt;
  39. &lt;li&gt;time = Represents the current time within a set of times&lt;/li&gt;
  40. &lt;li&gt;true = Represents the current item within a set&lt;/li&gt;
  41. &lt;/ul&gt;
  42. &lt;p&gt;aria-current must never be used as a substitute for aria-selected where aria-selectedis a required attribute for specific roles.&lt;/p&gt;
  43. &lt;p&gt;You can&amp;nbsp;use&amp;nbsp;aria-current&amp;nbsp;in addition to aria-selected when aria-current conveys that one node is currently active, regardless of which element is selected. For example: when a language selector where aria-current conveys the currently chosen language, and arrowing through the listbox conveys which language option is currently selected.&lt;/p&gt;
  44. &lt;p&gt;aria-details&lt;/p&gt;
  45. &lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;aria-details&amp;nbsp;attribute takes an ID reference in the same manner as aria-describedby, and is meant to provide access to a more comprehensive description (when available) that may include additional active elements.&lt;/p&gt;
  46. &lt;p&gt;As such, aria-details takes precedence over aria-describedby if both are present on the same element. However, it is necessary for the user to navigate to the container referenced by aria-details to view and interact with the content of that description. This differs from aria-describedby, which is part of the naming calculation for the element that has focus, and where it is not necessary to move focus away from that element to hear the description. In contrast, aria-details is not included in the naming calculation for setting the Description property, and the user must instead navigate away from the focused element to view the detailed description.&lt;/p&gt;

  72. &lt;p&gt;The new regulations require federal agencies to adjust procurement procedures so that all new websites adhere to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://ift.tt/1Oi9gs1&quot;&gt;Web Content Accessibility Standards (WCAG 2.0)&lt;/a&gt;, an expansive, but carefully-developed specification that ensures usability while allowing developers considerable flexibility. The rule brings U.S. policy in line with that of over thirty countries and is the result of over a decade of collaboration between the technology industry, the disability community, and businesses.&lt;/p&gt;
  73. &lt;p&gt;We expect this announcement to have significant implications for a wide range of businesses and organizations. &lt;a href=&quot;http://ift.tt/2jq7GgS&quot;&gt;Recent federal court cases&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://ift.tt/2jSie4R&quot;&gt;Justice Department actions&lt;/a&gt; indicate that this rule will be the &lt;em&gt;de facto&lt;/em&gt; standard for private entities despite the fact that the official rulemaking for private entities has been delayed until 2018.&lt;/p&gt;
  74. &lt;p&gt;The U.S. Access Board submitted the regulations on October 24th, 2016. The Office of Management and Budget approved the final rule on January 5th, 2017.&amp;nbsp;This is the first update to the initial regulations, which were published 16 years ago.&lt;/p&gt;
  75. &lt;p&gt;EveryBill will release an expanded analysis in the coming days.&lt;/p&gt;

Do you know what happens when a person with a color vision deficiency tries to use an application with colors that do not look like you see them? Do you know how to compensate for this as you are designing and developing your applications? Are you yourself colorblind? Do you know what to do to make your websites accessible to a non-sighted person? Do you know what to add so that your website can be read aloud by a screen reader? Do you know what to avoid so that you do not confuse your non-sighted users? This session will cover these and many more issues experienced by the visually challenged and non-sighted when using web-based applications and show you how to adjust your development styles to compensate for them. We will also discuss what is required to create an ADA-Compliant website so that you can work within the rules for government contracts and finally, we will discuss some ways to check your website for accessibility and compliance, including a checklist that was published by the US Dept. of Health &amp;amp; Human Services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  177. &lt;br /&gt;
  178. This statement really hit home this week and it saved me a huge amount of money.&lt;br /&gt;
  179. &lt;br /&gt;
  180. On Monday morning, the engine in my wife&#39;s car died while she was on her way to work. No
  181. warning, no lights, no bells and whistles, just sitting at a light and
  182. bang, stutter and then nothing. Dead. &lt;br /&gt;
  183. &lt;br /&gt;
  184. Flash forward, I arrive to
  185. help her move it out of traffic and wait with her until AAA arrives to tow it to a repair shop a few miles away while I drive
  186. her to work. I go back to the repair shop and talk to the mechanic to
  187. explain what happened and ask them to investigate and give me a call. &lt;br /&gt;
  188. &lt;br /&gt;
  189. The next
  190. day I get a call from the mechanic telling me that they took apart the
  191. engine and it is real bad. (Remember that sentence) The heads were cracked, the rod was bent and the water pump was broken. I think to myself, it didn&#39;t lose any oil,
  192. just antifreeze while it was waiting for the tow so if the heads were
  193. cracked, wouldn&#39;t oil be pouring out (that is the extent of my knowledge of engines).&lt;br /&gt;
  194. &lt;br /&gt;
  195. Later that evening, I was talking to a neighbor  who happens
  196. to be real good with cars and explained what happened. He said he would like to look at it so we drive over. I forgot to mention that the repair shop said it would cost me
  197. $3,500 to replace the engine with a rebuilt one.&lt;br /&gt;
  198. &lt;br /&gt;
  199. My neighbor opens the hood
  200. and the first thing he asks is &quot;I thought they said the heads were
  201. cracked and rods were bent?&quot;. The engine hadn&#39;t been pulled apart, no dust was disturbed and
  202. nothing had been done except to remove the water pump inspection
  203. cover.&lt;br /&gt;
  204. &lt;br /&gt;
  205. The mechanic insists that based on the symptoms they can tell what is wrong just by looking. He said this in front of my neighbor who immediately tells me to call AAA and have it towed to his house.This was Wednesday afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;
  206. &lt;br /&gt;
  207. Last night (Thursday) he called me and said he just drove the car around the block and it was running fine. He replaced the water pump and timing belt and refilled the radiator. For a total cost of less than $100 in parts and 3 hours of his time, the car was back working properly again.&lt;br /&gt;
  208. &lt;br /&gt;
  209. So, if I had listened to the mechanic who knew I knew nothing about engines, it would have cost me over $3,500. Instead, by asking a second person who knew what they were talking about, I spent less than $100 in parts and paid him back in beer, soda and some cash.&lt;br /&gt;
  210. &lt;br /&gt;
  211. Now my wife can drive herself to work again and I can sleep in.&lt;br /&gt;

  215. &lt;br /&gt;
  216. &lt;br /&gt;
  217. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  218. &lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IthoYshU0tI/UWLK9W6nPsI/AAAAAAAACPU/9kSid3gn6AQ/s1600/Book+Cover+Image.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IthoYshU0tI/UWLK9W6nPsI/AAAAAAAACPU/9kSid3gn6AQ/s1600/Book+Cover+Image.JPG&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; width=&quot;256&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  219. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  220. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  221. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  222. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  223. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  224. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;While this is a very short (less than 60 pages) book, it tries to pack a lot of information into it. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  225. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  226. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;The chapters are set up as Simple, Intermediate and Advanced. &amp;nbsp;This is nice in that anyone picking up the book can quickly find the topic and the level of experience needed to understand it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  227. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  228. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;The Table of Contents list out the chapters as&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  229. &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  232. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;Creating local and managed replicas (Advanced)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  233. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;Mastering calendar and to-dos (Intermediate)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  234. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;Managing contacts (Intermediate)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  236. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;Social integration with widgets (Advanced)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  237. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;Working with Lotus Domino applications (Intermediate)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  238. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;Using Sametime in Lotus Notes 8.5.3 (Advanced)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  239. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;Moving from Microsoft Outlook to Lotus Notes 8.5.3 (Simple)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  240. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  241. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;For example, Chapter 1, deals with a brand new user to Notes. There are five small sections describing the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;Home Page,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;Open List,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;Windows and Themes,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;New Mail Notification and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;Workspace. &amp;nbsp;In eight pages, Chapter 2 deals with the Mai File , Folders and Mail rules.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;Chapter 3 goes into Replication, what it is and why you need it. &amp;nbsp; The rest of the chapters are as described in the contents, Calendars, Contacts, Feeds, etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  242. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  243. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;With each chapter being less than 10 pages, there is very limited information discussed. The chapters all start with a paragraph or two called &lt;b&gt;Getting Ready&lt;/b&gt; and then &lt;b&gt;How to do it, How it works &lt;/b&gt;and&lt;b&gt; There&#39;s more.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; There&#39;s more is where the meat of the chapter is discussed in a half dozen pages or less.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  244. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  245. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;There are a lot of screen shots that take up a lot of space that could have been used for more&amp;nbsp;explanations or more topics. Also, the formatting on this book is strange. The text is squeezed between headers and footers that are each almost two inches high. This leaves less than two thirds of the page for text. I think a lot more useful information could have been added if the pages were adjusted properly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  246. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  247. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri;&quot;&gt;Is it a good book, yes if you need a beginners reference. For someone moving over to Notes from Outlook, the last chapter will be useful to them. It is not a comprehensive book on the use of the Notes Client but it touches lightly on the most used pieces and explains how to use them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  248. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  275. After about two hours with light rain this morning, the storm sewer in the backyard did it&#39;s job and the backyard is quickly draining out. (Ignore my finger, I am still trying to get used to this camera in my new phone). You can see how high the water was by the dirt line on the fence.&lt;/div&gt;

  286. Just to the right of the neighbor&#39;s railroad ties is the sewer drain. It is currently covered by all the pine needles that dropped off the tree. To help quantify how much water was back there, the water line on the fence is over two feet high.&lt;/div&gt;

Packt books are renowned among  developers for being uniquely practical and focused.&amp;nbsp; Packt books cover  highly specific tools and technologies which IT professionals might not  expect to see a high quality book on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  491. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Dave  Maclean, founder of Packt Publishing explains, “At Packt we set out 8  years ago to bring practical, up to date and easy to use technical books  to the specialist tools and technologies that had been largely  overlooked by IT publishers. Today, I am really proud that with our  authors and partners we have been able to make useful books available on  over 1000 topics and make our contribution to the development  community.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This year it was in Pittsburgh which&amp;nbsp;coincidentally also happened to be where my current client PNC is located. In fact they are just across the street from the magnificent Omni William Penn&amp;nbsp;Hotel where MWLUG was held.&lt;br /&gt;
  494. &lt;br /&gt;
  495. I took the Amtrak train from Chicago to Pittsburgh with Martha Geppert and Richard Moy and his family. We left at a respectable 7:10 PM on Tuesday. When we&amp;nbsp;discussed taking the train, at first it sounded like fun. Let me tell you now that it will never happen again. Nine hours traveling in a chair no different than business class in an airplane does not make for a comfortable trip. The food car however was not bad, but it didn&#39;t make up for the boredom in cramped seats.&lt;br /&gt;
  496. &lt;br /&gt;
  497. We finally got into Pittsburgh at 5:30 Wednesday morning and walked the three (long) blocks to the hotel. Of course nothing was open, except Starbucks, at that time of day so we camped out on the couches and chairs in the lobby until the restaurant opened up at 6:30. Did I mention that the buffet at the hotel is amazing? No? Well it is. If you ever get a chance to stay at this hotel, I suggest that you do not pass it up.&lt;br /&gt;
  498. &lt;br /&gt;
  499. Anyway, the hotel was nice enough to get me into my room early so that I could change clothes and get over to the PNC offices where I was scheduled to teach a couple of XPages classes that morning. I followed those up with a nice lunch with the team and headed back to the Omni to see if I could help with the setup.&lt;br /&gt;
  500. &lt;br /&gt;
  501. [shameless plug]&lt;br /&gt;
  502. Unfortunately, I was informed while I was at the PNC offices that they could not extend my current contract a second time. So if anyone reading this knows of anyone looking for an XPages Developer I would appreciate an&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:rrumaner@gmail.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;email&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;with their contact information. My current contract ends on August 31st. You can find all my contact information on my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linkedin.com/in/royrumaner&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;LinkedIn profile&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  503. [/shameless plug] &lt;br /&gt;
  504. &lt;br /&gt;
  505. &lt;br /&gt;
  506. Richard&#39;s family and the other volunteers were well under way with the setup and organization so I decided to go to my room and (finally) get a little sleep. Did I mention that I didn&#39;t really get any sleep on the train and that I was running on fumes at that point? I got to nap for about an hour then went downstairs to help some of the vendors set up their displays and get ready for the evening party.&lt;br /&gt;
  507. &lt;br /&gt;
  508. Wandering around before the party I bumped into a few people and we decided to grab dinner in the lobby bar. Again, if you stay at this hotel, make sure to order the hamburger. It is that good! After dinner we went to the party and got to see who had arrived so far. I finally got to see some old friends whom I have not seen since the last MWLUG in Milwaukee a year ago. It was really nice to catch up and talk to everyone but by 8:00 I was starting to feel the lack of sleep catch up and I called it quits and crashed for the night.&lt;br /&gt;
  509. &lt;br /&gt;
  510. Thursday morning, the first day of MWLUG. Breakfast at 8 and the keynotes at 9. Kathy from 4CTechnologies and Louis Richardson from IBM gave very nice talks about Social Marketing and then it was time to go to the first session of the show.&lt;br /&gt;
  511. &lt;br /&gt;
  512. All the sessions were well done and very informative. The ones I went to were led by David Leedy (NotesIn9 Live), Richard Sharpe (Using the XPages Mobile Controls), Ryan Baxter (Intro to OpenSocial), Jeremy Hodge (Caffeniate Your XPages with Java), Russell Maher (Intro to Managed Beans), Mark Roden (XPages, jQuery and Dojo), Graham Acres (Can I Get Mobile With That?), Paul Mooney (TeamStudio Unplugged), Julian Robichaux (OAuth). Every session was presented well and each one explained all the concepts in such a way that it was very easy to follow and learn from them. I came away understanding Java Beans, Dojo and jQuery and how to mobilize my XPages applications which was what I had hoped to learn this year.&amp;nbsp;I also heard from the other attendees that the other sessions, there were over 35 this year, were excellent and the speakers all did an incredible job.&lt;br /&gt;
  513. &lt;br /&gt;
  514. Finally, Mike McGarel and I did another hands-on workshop this year. We did a 20 minute presentation on Themes and CSS and then had the attendees walk through creating a XPage and a Style Sheet, setting the Theme, hiding elements of the OneUI layout, and how to change the background color of a menu item and finally how to adjust the spacing below the title bar.&lt;br /&gt;
  515. &lt;br /&gt;
  516. The presentation can be found on my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slideshare.net/rrumaner/mwlug-2012-ad110-presentation&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;SlideShare&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;page.&lt;br /&gt;
  517. &lt;br /&gt;
  518. I also have to mention the evening activities. The MWLUG team did a great job coming up with things to do each evening. On Thursday we went for a two mile guided tour around &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hauntedpittsburghtours.com/p/downtown-ghost-tour.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Haunted Pittsburgh&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;goog_996513992&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;goog_996513993&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Afterwards we all met up for pizza, beer and wings at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.easystreetpittsburgh.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Easy Street&lt;/a&gt;. On Friday we took a bus to go bowling and had a great time.&lt;br /&gt;
  519. &lt;br /&gt;
  520. After that it was time for Martha and I to get to the Amtrak station and catch our midnight train to Chicago. It wasn&#39;t as bad as the ride to Pittsburgh, probably because I was really exhausted from the past two days and actually slept about 60% of the ride home. I did finish the book I brought along so that is a good thing.&amp;nbsp;I finally got home around noon on Saturday and proceeded to take a 3 hour nap.&lt;br /&gt;
  521. &lt;br /&gt;
  522. I am already looking forward to MWLUG 2013 next year in Indianapolis.&lt;br /&gt;
  523. &lt;br /&gt;

  530. We went to Midway Airport tonight to welcome home 95 WW II veterans. Thanks to the men and women who make up the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.honorflight.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Honor Flight Network&lt;/a&gt;, these soldiers were treated to a day in Washington D.C. They had tours of some of the museums and the WW II Memorial wall. They were each given shirts, backpacks and an amazing number of souvenirs to remember the day. Oh yeah, they left Chicago&#39;s Midway Airport at 0400 (that is 4 AM for those of you not familiar with military time). &lt;br /&gt;
  531. &lt;br /&gt;
  532. On their return flight they held mail call where each veteran received letter and cards from people who wrote them for this occasion.&lt;br /&gt;
  533. &lt;br /&gt;
  534. Upon arrival their plane was taxied under a water cannon salute that crossed the runway. When they deplaned, they were met with over 100 members of the Honor Riders Motorcycle Club (these are the guys who escort our returning heroes home and stand vigil at funerals) holding over 100 American Flags. There was a group of bagpipers, a full military honor guard and if that wasn&#39;t enough, when they came down the stairs or elevator, over 1000 people were there cheering and shouting USA and waving American flags. I personally was able to shake hands or hug almost 90 of them and say &quot;Thank you. &lt;br /&gt;
  535. &lt;br /&gt;
  536. To see them smiling and crying and laughing and still awake and alert at 2200 (10 PM) showed how much energy they got out of this reception. This was the welcome that most of them never got when they returned home.&lt;br /&gt;
  537. &lt;br /&gt;
  538. It was a truly memorable evening and an incredible experience. These men and women were truly the greatest generation this country has ever produced.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
  539. &lt;br /&gt;
  540. Aside: The reason we went tonight was my friend&#39;s father was one of the soldiers we welcomed home. He is 88 years old and retired as a Full Colonel. It is so interesting to talk to him about his experiences and hear first hand what actually happened back then.</description><link>http://rrumaner.blogspot.com/2012/04/what-great-way-to-spend-evening.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1269693341352480825.post-5246116396923987017</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:31:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-02-10T14:08:33.929-06:00</atom:updated><title>My rant for the day or if you are going to send me an email for a job, learn the language first</title><description>&lt;rant&gt;&lt;/rant&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  541. &lt;br /&gt;
  542. It has been one of those days, weeks, months - you know the kind where everything you do takes longer and is not as easy as you thought it should be. Well today I finally finished a particularly complicated application and turned it over to the client for testing. That should be a huge weight off my shoulders except they have three others that need me to help them with their projects as well. That is all good news and makes me very happy. But, and I know you are wondering where I am going with this, so bear with me a moment.&lt;br /&gt;
  543. &lt;br /&gt;
  544. Today I received an email from a recruiter that not only came at the wrong time, I am mentally fried at the moment, but came after a conversation I had with someone last night about speaking English properly.&lt;br /&gt;
  545. &lt;br /&gt;
  546. &lt;br /&gt;
  547. This is first part of that email&lt;br /&gt;
  548. &lt;br /&gt;
  549. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;
  550. &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Hi,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  551. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;
  552. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  553. &lt;div style=&quot;color: blue; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
  554. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;Hope you are doing great.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  555. &lt;div style=&quot;color: blue; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
  556. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  557. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;We have a new&amp;nbsp;job requirement while would really like to bring to your kind
  558. notice.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;If interested, please send me your updated resume with the
  559. below filled skill matrix ASAP.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  560. &lt;br /&gt;
  561. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Okay, I hope that everyone who is reading this immediately sees the problems in just those two sentences. I have had it with emails from recruiters &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;that have spelling mistakes, incorrect grammar, requirements for a position that I do not even have on my resume, whatever. It just makes them look stupid and tells me I want nothing to do with their firm if they cannot even spell check an email.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  562. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  563. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;Anyway, today was the wrong day for this recruiter to send me this so I responded back with the following:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  564. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  565. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  566. &lt;div style=&quot;color: purple; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
  567. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&quot;We have a new&amp;nbsp;job requirement while would really like to bring to your kind
  568. notice.&quot;&amp;nbsp; What? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  569. &lt;div style=&quot;color: purple; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
  570. &lt;br /&gt;
  571. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  572. &lt;div style=&quot;color: purple; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
  573. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;If interested, please send me your updated resume with the
  574. below filled skill matrix ASAP.&lt;/b&gt;&quot; What?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  575. &lt;div style=&quot;color: purple; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;&quot;&gt;
  576. &lt;br /&gt;
  577. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  578. &lt;div style=&quot;color: purple; margin: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  579. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;I
  580. assume that English is probably not your first language, but if you are
  581. going to send an email to someone, have someone who does speak English
  582. check it before you send it. Neither of those two sentences make any
  583. sense and taking a few seconds to reread what you wrote before you hit
  584. Send would probably be worth your time. Just reading those two sentences
  585. make me not want to do any business with your company. &lt;br /&gt;
  586. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  587. &lt;div style=&quot;color: purple; margin: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  588. &lt;br /&gt;
  589. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  590. &lt;div style=&quot;color: purple; margin: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  591. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;I
  592. have no idea what &quot;bring to your kind notice&quot; means. My notice is not
  593. kind. The appropriate statement here would simply be &quot;bring to your
  594. attention&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
  595. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  596. &lt;div style=&quot;color: purple; margin: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  597. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  598. &lt;div style=&quot;color: purple; margin: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  599. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;Also,
  600. I understand that your spell checker would miss the word &quot;while&quot;, but
  601. really, you couldn&#39;t read that sentence and see that the word should
  602. have been &quot;we&quot; or &quot;I&quot;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  603. &lt;div style=&quot;color: purple; margin: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  604. &lt;br /&gt;
  605. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  606. &lt;div style=&quot;color: purple; margin: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  607. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&quot;the
  608. below filled skill matrix&quot;? This doesn&#39;t even make any sense. How about
  609. &quot;please send me your updated resume and the completed skills matrix
  610. from below&quot;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  611. &lt;div style=&quot;color: purple; margin: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  612. &lt;br /&gt;
  613. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  614. &lt;div style=&quot;color: purple; margin: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  615. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt;&quot;&gt;After
  616. all that, I do not even meet the requirements that you listed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  617. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  618. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  619. &lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0pt;&quot;&gt;
  620. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  622. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  623. &lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hw83HAvcP4k/TyMXllwHBII/AAAAAAAAB-4/O5DJlQbQUSg/s1600/IBM+Sametime+8.5.2+Administration+Guide_Frontcover.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hw83HAvcP4k/TyMXllwHBII/AAAAAAAAB-4/O5DJlQbQUSg/s320/IBM+Sametime+8.5.2+Administration+Guide_Frontcover.jpg&quot; width=&quot;258&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  624. I received an E-Book and a PDF copy of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.packtpub.com/ibm-sametime-8-5-2-administration-guide/book&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;IBM Sametime 8.5.2&amp;nbsp;Administration&amp;nbsp;Guide&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and was asked by Packt to do a review of it. Now, I am a Developer not an Administrator and I don&#39;t have access to a Sametime Server to play around with but after reading through this book, I feel confident I could probably get one up and running in about a week. That is if I had an Administrator on hand to answer all my questions regarding the network, security and everything else an Administrator does that Developers do not know about or pay attention to in their daily lives.&lt;br /&gt;
  625. &lt;br /&gt;
  626. This book seems to have covered everything in amazing detail so if you do need to build a Sametime Server, or you just want to learn how to do it for fun (I know there are a few of you out there), this is the book for you.&lt;br /&gt;
  627. &lt;br /&gt;
  628. The first chapter discusses what is new in Sametime 8.5.2 and each different type of server in detail. The chapter also explains what OS is required for what server and client. Lots of charts, enough to make my head hurt, but exactly what an Administrator needs to know.&lt;br /&gt;
  629. &lt;br /&gt;
  630. In the second chapter you learn what each piece of the Sametime family of servers does and how to install them. I thought that there was only a Sametime server but now I know there are eight different servers that make up a complete Sametime operation.&lt;br /&gt;
  631. &lt;br /&gt;
  632. Sametime Community Server - Instant messaging and awareness services&lt;br /&gt;
  633. Sametime Systems Console Server - Administration and Management&lt;br /&gt;
  634. Sametime Classic Meeting Server - The original Sametime Server for backwards compatibility during migrations&lt;br /&gt;
  635. Sametime Meeting Server - The new Sametime server&lt;br /&gt;
  636. Sametime Proxy Server - A new Sametime component that provides messaging using a standard web browser&lt;br /&gt;
  637. Sametime Media Manager Server - Web conferencing, video and audio&lt;br /&gt;
  638. Sametime TURN Server - A JAVA-based program that works in conjunction with the Sametime Media Manager Server&lt;br /&gt;
  639. Sametime Bandwidth Manager Server - New server designed to help Administrators control network traffic&lt;br /&gt;
  640. &lt;br /&gt;
  641. I guess Administrators really do have more to do than just look at log files and set quotas on mail files.&lt;br /&gt;
  642. &lt;br /&gt;
  643. Chapter three talks about Telephony Integration. Now when I read that title, I thought cool, I could use my telephone and use it to talk to people through Sametime. Not exactly. Like I said, I am a Developer, put it in smaller words for me please. Telephony in this case refers to using your computer, not your telephone, to make audio and video conference calls to other people in your Sametime community.&lt;br /&gt;
  644. &lt;br /&gt;
  645. Chapter four was way outside my comfort level. Discussions of WebSphere and Server Architecture make my head hurt but after reading the chapter, I felt a little more comfortable in my understanding of WAS. Not enough to be able to discuss it, but I must be a little more comfortable, I used an acronym to describe it.&lt;br /&gt;
  646. &lt;br /&gt;
  647. Chapter five and six deal with the actual installation of the various pieces. Chapter five deals with planning for your environment and Chapter six deals with the actual installation process. Real Administrator stuff here.&lt;br /&gt;
  648. &lt;br /&gt;
  649. Chapter seven is definitely required reading for an Administrator. Security and Authentication. These are two things Developer are very happy not to have to deal with.&lt;br /&gt;
  650. &lt;br /&gt;
  651. I liked Chapter eight: Using the Sametime Business Card. This is where I learned how to put my picture and job information out there for everyone to see. I might have to do this at my next client if they use Sametime.&lt;br /&gt;
  652. &lt;br /&gt;
  653. Chapter nine talks about how to extend Sametime outside of the company to AOL and GoogleTalk. I didn&#39;t even know AOL was still around but I use GoogleTalk all the time so this sounds like a really good idea. Of course the Administrators might not like me talking to other people through their system but this chapter not only explains how to do it but how to do it securely.&lt;br /&gt;
  654. &lt;br /&gt;
  655. Chapter ten finally gets to something I understand as a Developer, the Sametime client and how to get your users to set up their desktop audio and video properly.&lt;br /&gt;
  656. &lt;br /&gt;
  657. Chapter eleven is all about using Sametime on mobile devices. This chapter made me want to go out and buy a new Andrioid and an iPhone, I already have a Blackberry, just to see how well it works.&lt;br /&gt;
  658. &lt;br /&gt;
  659. And that brings us to chapter twelve: Managing and Monitoring the Sametime Server Environment. Now this really is where the Administrators seem to have the most fun. Monitoring and reviewing servers and log files. &amp;nbsp;This chapter tells you where to look to learn what is happening and how to understand it. Now I am glad I am a Developer.&lt;br /&gt;
  660. &lt;br /&gt;
  661. There are also three appendixes. The first one has a set of installation worksheets, which I assume are very helpful in keeping you from forgetting anything. The second and third ones are full of Sametime-related resources and Network-related resources.&lt;br /&gt;
  662. &lt;br /&gt;
  663. The authors really know their stuff and it shows in the level of detail and organization of this book. Four hundred and fifty pages, very well written, step by step detailed instructions to help you get a set of Sametime servers up and running. If you are about to begin a Sametime installation, are in the middle of one or already have one up and running, I would run out and get this book immediately. You know that there is going to be something in here that will help you, show you, teach you, remind you or just make you look smarter by having it on your desk.&lt;br /&gt;
  664. &lt;br /&gt;
  665. Full Disclosure: Packt Publishing sent me the book for free and the authors are friends of mine.&lt;br /&gt;

I recommend that everyone take a moment to read it.&amp;nbsp;This post was inspired by a conversation I had with Russ and Nathan Freeman last night.&lt;br /&gt;
  667. &lt;br /&gt;
  668. I spent the better part of the last couple of days trying to figure out why Rich Text Fields, Attachments, and anything having to do with saving to an RTF on the backend wouldn&#39;t work in my XPage. Other times, different fields that worked once, stopped working at odd times too.&lt;br /&gt;
  669. &lt;br /&gt;
  670. &lt;br /&gt;
  671. Everything pointed to a problem somewhere in some call in XPages. I tried the Rich Text Upload Control, the rich Text Control, Upload code found on OpenNTF and other places. In all, I think I tried over 8 different ways to get anything to save to my backend RTF. &amp;nbsp;The reason I say everything pointed to XPages was because everything else in the program worked as expected. It was only when I tried to do anything with an RTF that it would break.&lt;br /&gt;
  672. &lt;br /&gt;
  673. After talking with Russ and Nathan last night I decided, thanks to Russ beating me over the head until I agreed, to take apart the entire page and see if even a single Rich Text Control would save to the RTF. So first thing this morning I made a complete copy of my application and started to pull it apart.&lt;br /&gt;
  674. &lt;br /&gt;
  675. Now this wasn&#39;t easy, and I don&#39;t recommend anyone try it at home, because, in my case, there were 11 Custom Controls involved in this application. The Rendering of some Controls depended on fields on other ones so to do this right I had to gut the entire thing and start over&amp;nbsp;almost&amp;nbsp;from scratch.&lt;br /&gt;
  676. &lt;br /&gt;
  677. I used a single Rich Text Control, bound it to the form and RTF and a button that did one thing - a Document Save. Okay that worked as it should. Step one proved at least to me that a Rich Text Control does indeed work. Good, it wasn&#39;t broken after all.&lt;br /&gt;
  678. &lt;br /&gt;
  679. Next step was to start adding back in fields to see what happened and if one of them broke my code. I started off with one field and added it to the save button. Cool, first field added back and the RTF still worked.&lt;br /&gt;
  680. &lt;br /&gt;
  681. Okay, now start adding back a group of fields. If I did it one at a time, I would still be adding them tonight. Ten fields added back, so far so good. No refreshes and no updates to the rendering of any Custom Controls yet so I was still holding my breath.&lt;br /&gt;
  682. &lt;br /&gt;
  683. Two more Custom Controls added and all of a sudden it happened again. The RTF was not being updated? Okay, pull those two CCs back out and add the fields back one at a time from within them. Okay now everything seems to be working again even though those were the exact same fields from the exact CC that just broke it. Great, now I am even more confused.&lt;br /&gt;
  684. &lt;br /&gt;
  685. Well since it was working again, I figure let&#39;s add in some more of the CCs and see how it goes. One CC of fields or labels or whatever at a time. Things seem to be going well now and that had me worried and for good reason. It stopped working again after adding in the 8th one. Okay, take all the code and drop it directly onto the XPage again and see if something shows up. Nope, still not working. Take all the code and add in the fields one at a time. Now it was working again.&lt;br /&gt;
  686. &lt;br /&gt;
  687. Okay at this point I had essentially rebuilt the entire XPage with the exception of any Full or Partial Updates that updated the rendering of various fields. Time to copy in the code from the different fields and see what happens.&lt;br /&gt;
  688. &lt;br /&gt;
  689. First field, good. Second field, good. All the fields are now back the way they were in the beginning, good. So what was left? As I rebuilt the page, I kept updating a copy of the original Save as Draft and Submit buttons. After everything was done I tried the Save as Draft button and it didn&#39;t work. Okay, back up one step. Let&#39;s take a real hard look at the code in that button and sure enough there it was - a single typo. I had used an uppercase letter in a Var definition and the one line of code that used that var later on had a lowercase letter instead.&lt;br /&gt;
  690. &lt;br /&gt;
  691. Now, I don&#39;t know why this did not throw an error of any kind, it just seemed to skip over the problem line and appeared not complete the process (but it actually did sort of). The last line of that specific piece of code did a Save(), which worked for every other field except for the Rich Text Field. So instead of breaking and throwing an error, that line of code was just skipped and the process continued on with the next line of code.&lt;br /&gt;
  692. &lt;br /&gt;
  693. What I find even more interesting was that no where in this code did I have anything pointing to the RTF or the various RT or Upload Controls. Everything else was saved and it ran as expected except the Rich Text updates.&amp;nbsp;Why this caused the problem with a Rich Text Field I still do not know. I will leave that to smarter people than I to figure out.&lt;br /&gt;
  694. &lt;br /&gt;
  695. The worst part of all this was that the line of code that had the typo was only used to set a viewScope variable that I never got around to using anyway.&amp;nbsp;So after I spent over 40 hours trying to fix this problem it was all due to the difference between the cases of one letter in one variable in one Custom Control out of almost a dozen.&lt;br /&gt;
  696. &lt;br /&gt;
  697. So what did I learn from all this? Spelling, and uppercase &amp;amp; lowercase mistakes will drive you mad and are very hard to find. If you find that something works sometimes and not other times and it makes no logical sense to you, it is time to start reading through your code from line one. I would even go so far as to copy and paste it into a text editor and search for every instance of every variable you created. Maybe do a Search &amp;amp; Replace on them just to be sure that when you read through it again, you might notice one of them looks out of place.&lt;br /&gt;
  698. &lt;br /&gt;
  699. By the way, the line of code in my program that caused the problem was&amp;nbsp;viewScope.put( &quot;urICode&quot;, ......) instead of viewScope.get( &quot;urlCode&quot;, .....). &amp;nbsp;How good are your eyes? Did you see the difference right away?&amp;nbsp;Yes that was an &quot;I&quot; (uppercase eye) compared to &quot;l&quot; (lowercase ell). My 53 year old eyes didn&#39;t see that for 3 days and yes, I just got new glasses.&lt;br /&gt;
