It&#39;s fine in all current browsers.

The only browser that got `&lt;script id&gt;` wrong was Netscape 4, which we stopped caring about a long, long time ago.

That quirksmode page seems to be badly out of date, what with its use of `language` attributes, script `&lt;!--` hiding, and `application/x-javascript`. Its advice about avoiding `&lt;script&gt;` in the `&lt;body&gt;` (and putting it in `&lt;head&gt;` instead) is at odds with today&#39;s encouraged practices.

If we&#39;re talking `&lt;script&gt;` attribute compatibility problems: `defer` doesn&#39;t work everywhere so don&#39;t rely on it; `charset` doesn&#39;t work everywhere, and neither does the charset parameter on the served script&#39;s Content-Type, so your script charset had better match the page; `type` should always be `text/javascript` and not one of the non-working alternatives the pedants who wrote RFC 4329 would like you to use.

Keep in mind that setting the `id` on any element introduces a new global variable with the same name as the `id` attribute:

If you&#39;re still having to support Netscape 4, you&#39;ve got a lot of trouble – and the pity and condolences of the rest of the developer world.

Short answer, I wouldn&#39;t worry about it.

I know a long time has passed, but I thought it would be nice to point that when you look at [W3 Schools definition of the script tag][1], you see at some point that 

&gt; The &lt;script&gt; tag also supports the [Global Attributes in HTML][2].

and amongst those attributes, ta-da, you will find your lovely id.

The same goes for a whole lot of tags, which will certainly give us a lot of flexibility when pulling those nice trick from the hat.

I don&#39;t think a browser would have a problem by adding an `id` attribute to a `script` element.

On some of my sites, that load additional JavaScripts via JavaScript, I have added a `class` attribute to make referencing them easier. The validator did not complain.

Is it possible to do something like

    public class PriorityQueue&lt;TValue, TPriority=int&gt; where TPriority : IComparable

(note the `=int`) ?

Before you suggest it, yes, I know I can just add another line:

    public class PriorityQueue&lt;TValue&gt; : PriorityQueue&lt;TValue, int&gt; { }

But I&#39;m wondering if it&#39;s possible to do it as a param.

Default for generic type?

I was asked this interview question recently:

&gt; You&#39;re given an array that is almost sorted, in that each of the `N` elements may be misplaced by no more than `k` positions from the correct sorted order. Find a space-and-time efficient algorithm to sort the array.

I have an `O(N log k)` solution as follows.

Let&#39;s denote `arr[0..n)` to mean the elements of the array from index `0` (inclusive) to `N` (exclusive).

* Sort `arr[0..2k)`
    * Now we know that `arr[0..k)` are in their final sorted positions...
    * ...but `arr[k..2k)` may still be misplaced by `k`!
* Sort `arr[k..3k)`
    * Now we know that `arr[k..2k)` are in their final sorted positions...
    * ...but `arr[2k..3k)` may still be misplaced by `k`
* Sort `arr[2k..4k)`
* ....
* Until you sort `arr[ik..N)`, then you&#39;re done!
    * This final step may be cheaper than the other steps when you have less than `2k` elements left

In each step, you sort at most `2k` elements in `O(k log k)`, putting at least `k` elements in their final sorted positions at the end of each step. There are `O(N/k)` steps, so the overall complexity is `O(N log k)`.

My questions are:

* Is `O(N log k)` optimal? Can this be improved upon?
* Can you do this without (partially) re-sorting the same elements?

I came across a scenario where giving a `script` element an `id` attribute would solve a problem easily. However, after reading about the `script` element at [w3schools][1] and [quirksmode][2], it seems doing so could have some unforeseen consequences.

Has anyone come across any of these issues with browsers such as Chrome, Safari, FF3 up and IE 7 up?

In 2010, would you serve URLs containing UTF-8 characters in a large web portal?

Unicode characters are forbidden as per the RFC on URLs (see [here][1]). They would have to be percent encoded to be standards compliant.

My main point, though, is serving the unencoded characters for the sole purpose of having nice-looking URLs, so percent encoding is out. 

All major browsers seem to be parsing those URLs okay no matter what the RFC says. My general impression, though, is that it gets very shaky when leaving the domain of web browsers:

  * URLs getting copy+pasted into text files, E-Mails, even Web sites with a different encoding 
  * HTTP Client libraries 
  * Exotic browsers, RSS readers
  
Is my impression correct that trouble is to be expected here, and thus it&#39;s not a practical solution (yet) if you&#39;re serving a non-technical audience and it&#39;s important that all your links work properly even if quoted and passed on?

Is there some magic way of serving nice-looking URLs in HTML

    http://www.example.com/d&#252;sseldorf?neighbourhood=L&#246;rick

that can be copy+pasted with the special characters intact, but work correctly when re-used in older clients?

There are &quot;Internet Explorer 8&quot;, &quot;Internet Explorer 8 Compatibility Mode&quot;, and IE7 mode in IE8.

However, the default setting in IE make all intranet website use &quot;IE8 Compatibility Mode&quot; even I have setted doctype, the meta tag, http header as suggested to force it into IE8 mode.

I have
&gt; &amp;lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN&quot; &quot;http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd&quot;&gt;

and

&gt; &amp;lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;X-UA-Compatible&quot; content=&quot;IE=8&quot; &gt;

But it still goes into &quot;IE8 Compatibility Mode&quot;, without any changes in IE setting.

How to force it into pure &quot;IE8&quot; mode, without change any browser&#39;s setting?

PS. I am not talking &quot;document mode&quot; here.

The standard way to deal with situations where the browser does not support the HTML5 `&lt;canvas&gt;` tag is to embed some fallback content like:

    &lt;canvas&gt;Your browser doesn&#39;t support &quot;canvas&quot;.&lt;/canvas&gt;

But the rest of the page remains the same, which may be inappropriate or misleading. I&#39;d like some way of detecting canvas non-support so that I can present the rest of my page accordingly. What would you recommend?

HTML5&#39;s localStorage databases are usually size-limited — standard sizes are 5 or 10 MB per domain. Can these limits be circumvented by subdomains (e.g. example.com, hack1.example.com and hack2.example.com all have their own 5 MB databases)? And is there anything in the standard that specifies whether parent domains can access their children&#39;s databases? I can&#39;t find anything, and I can see arguments for doing it either way, but it seems like there has to be some standard model.

Is there a convention for naming enumerations in Java?

My preference is that an enum is a type.  So, for instance, you have an enum 

    Fruit{Apple,Orange,Banana,Pear, ... }

    NetworkConnectionType{LAN,Data_3g,Data_4g, ... }

I am opposed to naming it:

    FruitEnum
    NetworkConnectionTypeEnum

I understand it is easy to pick off which files are enums, but then you would also have:

    NetworkConnectionClass
    FruitClass

Also, is there a good document describing the same for constants, where to declare them, etc.?

In a bash script, I need to launch the user web browser. There seems to be many ways of doing this:

* `$BROWSER`
* `xdg-open`
* `gnome-open` on GNOME
* `www-browser`
* `x-www-browser`
* ...

Is there a more-standard-than-the-others way to do this that would work on most platforms, or should I just go with something like this:

    #/usr/bin/env bash
    
    if [ -n $BROWSER ]; then
      $BROWSER &#39;http://wwww.google.com&#39;
    elif which xdg-open &gt; /dev/null; then
      xdg-open &#39;http://wwww.google.com&#39;
    elif which gnome-open &gt; /dev/null; then
      gnome-open &#39;http://wwww.google.com&#39;
    # elif bla bla bla...
    else
      echo &quot;Could not detect the web browser to use.&quot;
    fi

I was talking with a co-worker about C and C++ and he claimed that C is object-oriented, but I claimed that it was not. I know that you can do object-oriented-like things in C, but C++ is a true object-oriented language. 

What are your thoughts?

Also, it triggered discussion on who decides what it means to be object-oriented and that it&#39;s tough to say what object-oriented really officially means. What are you thoughts on this?

I have several configuration files nested like such:

    C:\Projects\Project_1\project1.config
      
    C:\Projects\Project_2\project2.config

In my configuration I need to do a string replace like such:

    &lt;add key=&quot;Environment&quot; value=&quot;Dev&quot;/&gt;

will become:

    &lt;add key=&quot;Environment&quot; value=&quot;Demo&quot;/&gt;

I thought about using batch scripting, but there was no good way to do this, and I heard that with PowerShell scripting you can easily perform this. I have found examples of find/replace, but I was hoping for a way that would traverse all folders within my C:\Projects directory and find any files that end with the &#39;.config&#39; extension. When it finds one, I want it to replace my string values.

Any good resources to find out how to do this or any PowerShell gurus that can offer some insight?

I just finished my second year as a university CS student, so my &quot;real-world&quot; knowledge is lacking.  I learned Java my first year, continued with Java and picked up C and simple Bash 
scripting my second.  This summer I&#39;m trying to learn Perl (God help me).  I&#39;ve dabbled with Python a bit in the past.

My question is, now that we have very readable, very writable scripting languages like Python, Ruby, Perl, etc, why does anyone write Bash scripts?  Is there something I&#39;m missing?  I know my linux box has perl and python.  Are they not ubiquitous enough?  Is there really something
that&#39;s easier to do in Bash than in some other hll?

Is there any use for Bash scripting anymore?

I am looking into Javascript programming without a browser. I want to run scripts from the Linux or Mac OS X command line, much like we run any other scripting language (ruby, php, perl, python...)

    $ javascript my_javascript_code.js

I looked into spider monkey (Mozilla) and v8 (Google), but both of these appear to be embedded.  

Is anyone using Javascript as a scripting language to be executed from the command line?

If anyone is curious why I am looking into this, I&#39;ve been poking around [node.js](http://www.nodejs.org).  The performance of node.js makes me wonder if javascript may be a viable scripting language for processing large data.

I tried to declare a Boolean variable in a shell script using the following syntax:

    variable=$false

    variable=$true

Is this correct? Also, if I wanted to update that variable would I use the same syntax? Finally, is the following syntax for using Boolean variables as expressions correct?

    if [ $variable ]

    if [ !$variable ]
