CSS3 Property “img:after” in Firefox? 10 Comments

April 14th, 2006 bugs, css

The code is fairly simple: img:after { content: “Hello World”; }. It displays the text “Hello World” right after an image. It works in Opera, but not in Firefox! Why is that? Isn’t Firefox supposed to be the new black?

For those of you pondering the Why of this, try out img:after { content: “(” attr(alt) “)”; } for show. It’ll type out the contents of the ALT attribute after an image.

Among the changes I’ve been looking forward to:

• Permalinks have been fixed for weird enviroments as well.
  “Weird”? Quite a few people had problems.
• Several WYSIWYG fixes and cleanups.

Wordpress 2.0 Borkage 14 Comments

January 6th, 2006 bugs, wordpress

A few days ago, I updated both my Noscope and Fauna weblogs from Wordpress 1.5.2 to Wordpress 2.0. The upgrade process was smooth and simple.

But it seems Wordpress 2.0 wasn’t quite ready for primetime, atleast for me. The problem, I’ve tracked down, is related to the way Wordpress now handles permalinks. It seems the implementation doesn’t work on my setup, which is to have my main blog in the /journal/ directory, and show only a digest on the frontpage. The result? /journal/ is now a badly designed 404 page, and conditional tags aren’t working.

How is Wordpress 2.0 working for you?
