Some Ad-Hoc Quick Thoughts On WebKits Addition Of CSS Gradients Comments 9 Comments

April 15th, 2008 ,

WebKit, the browser engine that powers Safari, now supports CSS gradients. For the unenlightened, Safari also supports drop shadows and rounded corners. If you’ve ever built a website using CSS, you’ll know how many headaches this would save you. Woo hoo, right?


Pangea: A Challenge Comments 28 Comments

May 20th, 2006 , ,

Pangea is the title of the upcoming design for Noscope. For this redesign, I will be needing a plain DIV box to place content in. In my mockups, the box looks like this:

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

April 14th, 2006 ,

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.

Liquid Is The New Fixed Comments 11 Comments

February 23rd, 2006 ,

Lately I’ve found myself warming up to liquid width designs for websites. By liquid width, I’m referring of course to a design whose width adapts to the available browser real estate.

For those of you about to go liquid, start by reading the archives of Douglas Bowman for a great primer.

Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Public Preview Comments 1 Comment

February 1st, 2006 , , , ,

A public beta of the much awaited IE7 has been released.

Among the features included are: tabbed browsing, page zoom, tab groups, RSS support and improved printing support.

Personally, I think the tabbrowsing works rather well, and is easier to “pick up” than that of Firefox. Additionally, I think they’ve done a really good job of taking the geek out of RSS feeds. The browser engine still has huge problems though.

Update: If you, like me, want to be able to run IE7b2 side by side with IE6 (instead of replacing it), follow the instructions made by a commentator on Slashdot.
