To disable the EndNote add-in:

1. Go to File -> Options.
2. Click Add-Ins.
3. At the bottom of the screen, select “Actions” in the Manage dropdown box. Click “Go.”
4. Uncheck the box next to “EndNote.”
5. Click OK.
6. Close and restart Word.

I’m not sure what the conflict is between EndNote and Word 2010 (because it worked fine with Word 2007), but at least Word 2010 runs now.

I would click the button to “Activate Firebug for the selected tab”, and the page would refresh, but I would then see the same Script Panel message as before.

After some searching on the interwebs I found out it was because I had Private Browsing enabled in Firefox. I didn’t even realize it; I had set it to not remember or keep any history but Firefox treats that setting as a private browsing session.

Once I disabled the Private Browsing feature in Firefox, my Firebug Scripts panel worked again.

Instead of this:
param1=123

It looked like this:
param1[]=123

Turns out it had to do with how 1.4 serialized parameters. You can read more about it at the posts below. To fix it, I added this globally on the page for now:

// Enables for all serialization
.jQuery.ajaxSettings.traditional = true;

I also didn’t want to relocate the entire XAMPP folder on my laptop, so I instead modified the httpd.conf file on my local XAMPP install to point to the web root of the remote XAMPP install.

Here’s what I did:

1. Locate httpd.conf file on my local XAMPP install: C:\xampp\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
2. Edit the “DocumentRoot” line to the location of the remote \htdocs folder. I changed mine from:
   “C:/xampp/xampp/htdocs” to “C:/Users/Ann/Documents/My Dropbox/Dev/Xampp/xampp/htdocs”
3. Edit the “Directory” tag to the same remote location you set for DocumentRoot. My Directory tag looked like Directory “C:/Users/Ann/Documents/My Dropbox/Dev/Xampp/xampp/htdocs”
4. Save the file and restart your local Apache server.
5. Navigate to “http://localhost/” in your browser and you should see the remote web site files.

Open the following file: C:\xampp\xampp\php\php.info

Uncomment (by removing the semicolon) the following line:

;extension=php_curl.dll


Save the file and restart your Apache server.

First, I had to convert the array of objects to a list:

CustomObject[] objectArray;

objectArray = fancyWebServiceFunction();

System.Collections.Generic.List objectList = new System.Collections.Generic.List(objectArray);

Then I sorted the list:

  objectList.Sort(delegate(CustomObject o1, CustomObject o2)
 {
     return o1.ObjectName.CompareTo(o2.ObjectName);
});

IETester to the rescue! Sure it’s one of the old, “desktop” applications but it’s no more a behemoth than IE6 itself, right?

It works like a champ, BTW.
