Yesterday evening, I was working on fixing a problem by using a small bit of javascript, and I couldn’t get it to work. Annoying, but them’s the breaks.

Finally, I realised why I couldn’t get the thing to work on a browser, when I was sure I’d written it correctly – and double checked it when it didn’t work first time.

I’d turned javascript off in the browser to do something else, and hadn’t reactivated it yet.

[Edit : I forgot to add the thought in the next par when writing the post initially]
It’s the only time I’ve found so far where tabbed browsing is inferior to separate browser windows – if you turn it off in one place, you turn it off in all of them, which doesn’t happen (as easily) with multiple windows.

Grrr, twenty minutes of debugging and re-reading code – and all because sometimes I’ve got the memory span of a goldfish.
