My plan: Every new client that I get is being upgraded to IE7 or FireFox, depending on their usage and thanks to some Racists Websites that don’t work on any other browser except IE.

IE on any version (5 -

The article explains us that: “The vulnerability poses a special danger since the ActiveX control is digitally signed by Microsoft, which means that people who have Internet Explorer configured to trust ActiveX controls with that designation would run it automatically if encountered on a Web page.

Some of the Web pages that have already been hacked with automated SQL injection attacks earlier this year are also hosting the Microsoft Access attack, according to Symantec’s Sean Hittel.”

And yes, it is Symantec who is explaining the problem and yes, July patches are out so IE users will have to wait or disable their ActiveX control in order to be safer.

Has anybody experienced a similar issue? We may need to keep an eye about this on the upcoming IE8 since it seems to be a recent behavior probably caused by a patch?

To make a long story short, I have a client that wanted to offer the reservation system I created for them to other websites who in turn didn’t want to have clients go away from their own websites or see my client’s logo and contact information. My client’s system was tied in with their internal Database and server and for security everything needed to be ran on their servers without any external connections so the easiest way was to create a stripped down version of the reservation process, in other words just the forms, which could be placed on an iframe.

Everything worked perfectly on Firefox of course but when we go to IE, we get an error because the sessions are not set correctly so the whole system fails.

So here I am, once again trying to figure out a workaround to have something as simple as a form, that uses PHP sessions set on an iframe, work on IE the way it flawlessly work on Firefox. Seriously people, we should sue Microsoft for damages in all the time and effort wasted getting our websites to work on their crappy monopolized browsers.

* Update

Apparently by adding this: header(’P3P: CP=”CAO PSA OUR”‘); to the page involved in setting the sessions will make IE work correctly. Just thought I add this for everybody that’s having the same problem,

This should sound like good news but when you give it a little bit more thought, things are not as pleasing. Let’s begin with that the appearance of such a vast array of malware is probably Micorosft’s fault since they have always developed software with incredible security holes and then take enormous amount of time to create patches to fix them.

But as you keep reading this article courtesy of Cnet, you realize that all they are doing is adding more warnings when you try to do stuff. This means that I will have to click twice, three times or even more just to get the computer to download something or to perform an action I want it to do just as they have been doing with Vista.

Seriously Microsoft, coming up with a Security measure that mainly focus on the user clicking on a yes button is pretty lame. You should see my Dad around those boxes: he just clicks away without reading or understanding what he’s reading. Amazing security feature.
