• Dynamic objects

  Last autumn when a change in Firefox forced us to change the HTML object tag handling we kicked XBL and used DOM event handlers as the primary mechanism to detect and handle objects of type application/x-informationcard. At that time the three id selectors that use this same piece of code openinfocard, CardSpace for Firefox (on codeplex) and DigitalME stopped working on sites that dynamically create or change the objects of this type. Yesterday Barry from the SharpSTS project contacted me that his Read More...

• OpenID leads to Information Cards

  After a long pause you can hear the voice of the master of the identity metasystem again here . Kim Cameron explains why the success of openid leads to the success of CardSpace information cards. Some sometimes forget that there are "alternative operating systems identity selectors". Examples are of course the openinfocard identity selector or the higgins based identity seletor digitalme .

• Good-Bye XBL

  I just uploaded a new version (0.9.8) of the openinfocard id selector. You can find it in the project's download area . Finally we got rid of the XBL code. There are several problems with XBL; the most notable beeing that bindings are not applied to objects in the head section of the html code on the relying party. Andrew Hodgkinson had the idea to replace the XBL by a progress listener. The progress listener gets every event while the html code is parsed and the page constructed. Clever! I tweeked Read More...

• New Versions for Firefox 2.0.0.9

  Please find the new version of the openinfocard id selector for Firefox 2.0.0.9 in the project's download area . It is best used with the new version of the identity selector selector which can be downloaded from this project's download area . I tested both with most of the relying parties in the table " I2 Relying Party results with Identity Selectors ". First the id selector selector with CardSpace 1.0, then with the latest openinfocard id selector. I did not test RPs that bugged me with certificate Read More...

• Firefox 2.0.0.[8|9] xbl problem

  There seems to be a bug/problem with the DigitalMe id selector, the openinfocard id selector and the perpetual-motion id selector selector and Firefox 2.0.0.[8|9]. Others report problems too.

Please follow the instructions given here: Setting up extension development environment . Setting the preferences is easy. Just enter Read More...
