It's been a couple of months in the making, but tonight I got the latest update for Photobox done and online.

After years of defending the half ass slideshow functionality I wrote about 4 years ago, it wasn't long after I got this update started that it was obviously that this functionality was much needed. If that old slideshow functionality didn't look like a joke before, it does now.

Without a doubt it makes my photos look much better. And Photobox no longer looks like it was written 6 years ago.

As always, getting it to cross browser compatible (read: getting it to work in IE) was fun. Despite using ExtJS extensively, IE problems were still free flowing. These updates also prompted me to install IE7 in a VM for testing after getting it working in IE6, which is notably the first time every I've installed IE7 anywhere. There were some spectacular crashes under IE7. Internet Explorer continues to be the poorest excuse for a web browser I see. Nice to know nothing has changed. [wink]
