While s[i] will return the char at index i in the string s on FF and Safari, you need to use s.charAt(i) so that it works also in IE7.
It seems obvious but I made the mistake: unassigned variable and objects properties begin with a special value of undefined which is different from null.

Jérôme did a nice use of the pilcrow sign in the Disclosures programme, we were discussing this with him and Martine a few days ago before going to the opening of the exhibition.
Being an amateur unicode explorer I was familiar with the wikipedia entry on sir U+00B6. Recently Jonathan Hoefler wrote an article* that very nicely updated what I knew about it. One of the thing I did not know was that it came from a “c” and not a “p”, this prompted us to the word “caragraphs”, the new official terms in lingonest for those block of text that sometime cannot afford white lines to separate them.
* being a perverse automator, I particularly like Jonathan Hoefler “8 fundamental questions that inform the space of the pilcrow” and the corresponding 768 possible outcomes at the end of the entry.

Today, during one of the soft redesign of Assembling I found myself in need to know whether an attachment was an image or not; the wordpress documentation did not give me any clue about how to do this – so I started to create myself the function I needed: get_the_attachment_type
It sits in my theme functions.php – and might be of any use to someone else:
<?php
function get_the_attachment_type($id = 0) {
$id = (int) $id;
$_post = & get_post($id);
$mime = $_post->post_mime_type;
return $mime;
}
?>
I use the function in the attachment.php file in the following manner:
<?php switch (get_the_attachment_type($post->ID)) {
case "image/jpeg":
case "image/gif":
case "image/png":
break;
default:?>
<p><b>Download</b>:
<?php } ?>
<?php echo $attachment_link; ?> <?php the_content(); ?>
This will then output a bold Download prompt in front of the file’s name in case, the attachment file is not an image (pdf, zip, etc.); if the attachment is an image, then nothing will be displayed.
