Extending My FileMaker Module Story

Last time I was writing a Filemaker module that plugged into Views 2 using the PHP Web Publishing API. Change of plans, I am going to use the ODBC functionality instead. Why is this? It is easier, in my humble opinion, to write SQL queries than to do the whole PHP thing. Also it will

Long Live IE8 ...

Microsoft has finally developed a browser that at least pays more that lip service to web standards and renders sites in mostly the same way as Firefox. Today I had a reason to curse IE7 and below because it was not displaying the front page menu correctly on this site,
