// generic type:
public class Bag<T> {}
// simple usage:
Bag<Fruit> myBag;
myBag = new Bag<Fruit>();

<!--
It's all about "forcing" with MS stuff. *Force* IIS to serve a header which will
*force* IE not to use it's shitty compatibility mode, even if it's an intranet
site and the client has "display intranet sites in compatibility view" ticked in
their compatibility prefs.
The alternative is to include the equivalent <meta http-equiv...> in your

How to shorten some really wordy code
// Original: even without reading the code, it looked wrong. Lots of very
// obvious repetition. And switches are so often a code smell.

alert(self.options.messages.pleaseSet + self.options.messages.Manual);
break;
case "Automatic":
alert(self.options.messages.pleaseSet + self.options.messages.Automatic);
