jquery validation plugin and IE8 - 'jQuery.event.special.focusin' is null or not an object

I recently was using jquery validation plugin for form validation. It worked perfect on Firefox and Chrome. But when I tested on IE 8 , it did not work. The form submitted without any validation.

using the inbuilt Javascript debugger for IE 8 (press F12 to activate it), I noticed the error
'jQuery.event.special.focusin' is null or not an object.

I ran the sample that came with the jquery.validation plugin and it seemed to work on IE8 without any issues, the only thing I noticed was that the reference for jquery.js and the jquery.validation plugin were right below each other.

So I did the same, I moved the jquery.js reference from master page to the page where the validation plugin was used and the validation worked fine!

<script type="text/javascript" src="assets/scripts/jquery-1.2.6.min.js"></script>
<script src="assets/scripts/jquery.validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Error when Installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio

Yesterday, I downloaded and tried installing the 64bit version of the Sql Express Mangement Studio, but I received the below error message   Another version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 has been detected on this system that must be updated to SP1. Please update all Visual Studio 2008 installations to SP1 level, by visiting Microsoft Update This message was particularly baffling since my laptop was a new build and I had installed VS 2010 only. On further investigation I found that one of the software installation that I did had installed VS 2008 components. The Add Remove programs in Control panel wasn't helpful. I used the VS2008 uninstall tool from microsoft site http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=105801 This removed the VS2008 instance completely. I reran the setup for Management Studio and all worked well. To do it manually try http://blogs.msdn.com/b/joy/archive/2008/10/21/how-to-remove-visual-studio-2008-manually.aspx Hope it works out for you..

Windows 7 and GoToMyPC - Configure the Domain Group Policy to allow GoToMyPC to send Ctrl-Alt-Del

After installing Windows 7, I was unable to logon to the office computer using GoToMyPC. It came up with an error message along the lines of ‘The Domain Group Policy for this computer does not allow GoToMyPC to send Ctrl +Alt +Del. please contact your administrator'. I tried following the instructions given in the documentation of GotoMyPC's 'Pro Administrator Guide' till point 7, which read, I quote "Locate the Group Policy Object (GPO) in the domain or sub-domain that contains the policy that is preventing GoToMyPC from sending Ctrl-Alt-Del.". I spent some time looking for this policy but couldn't. I then started digging further into this issue and came across the concept of 'Secure Attention Sequence' which is basically a special sequence of events that enables a user to log on or off a computer, and how Windows Vista/Windows 7 introduced a new group policy setting which controls whether or not software can simulate a SAS. I solved my pr...
