this is sooo true and about 90% of what is wrong with our code. I love it and groan at the same time. If only we would open the application and try what we jsut did. <grin> Cause we never make mistakes right? Especially in typing on a keyboard. (jsut left that way on purpose)

I'm a developer, I don't know. Go ask a QA analyst, that's their job.

Isn't the end user the guy who last saw your poor program alive?

The surest way to find what is wrong with your software is to put it into production and let the users test it for you. There are usually so many of them they're sure to find every problem.
Simultaneously, this takes care of the all-important "J. Kass Factor", which is where users do things that no rational and sentient being would ever do - and cause problems no one could anticipate.

The trick is to convince your end users to pay you to test your products.
The other trick is to have the developers who work on a product provide frontline support for it.

I don't always test my code, but when I do, I do it in Production.

So @OriginalGriff is still on the table?

Yes I saw the solution later.

I've been noticing that it doesn't seem to do anything now - websites can figure out what country I'm from even with it on.  (I now use Opera, which seems to be working fine.)
