Saving state or values have never been easy on the web, especially on the client-side, and using cookies have been far from ideal. Enter DOM/Web Storage!
Yesterday we had Geek Meet Charity in Stockholm, and in my opinion, it was a great success!
Not many people know it, but you can use “real” getters and setters in JavaScript if you want to.
In my day job (i.e. the one paying the bills), I encountered a very serious problem in Internet Explorer, which turned out to be a show-stopper in my current project.
End of May/beginning of June will be very busy for me indeed. There will be a number of speaking engagements for me, and I’d like you to know about another one: Mozilla/Maemo Danish Weekend.
I am very happy to say that an idea I’ve had for a while has finally been implemented: Firefinder for Firebug.
Over time, lots of people have developed the need to run web applications/sites in a stand-alone manner, and many major player try and cater to that.
I’m am so tired of the never-ending misunderstanding of the alt attribute versus the title attribute.
One of the more interesting places to look for new things are Mozilla Labs, and it’s refreshing to see how they think outside the box to create future features and usage ideas.
I was a bit hesitant whether I should write about this or not, but hey, I’m all about openness, so here goes…
About a couple of weeks ago, I was approached by a Mozilla employee suggesting I talk at one of their events.
IE8 Blacklist: forcing standards rendering opt-in.
What! The! Fuck!
This proposal might seem a bit drastic, but please allow me to present my case.
Yesterday, IE 7, once again, pushed me to the brink of going postal. Refusing to give up, I finally managed to find the problem.
I haven’t worked with Visual Studio and .NET for a while, but in my current project that’s the platform. I downloaded a necessary update, and as it turned out, Microsoft hit a new low…
Admit that you have always wanted to know how to develop a Firefox extension but never had the time to learn. 🙂 Here I will walk you through and at the end of the article we will have created a fully functional Firefox extension!
Ever felt that you have had the need to enhance your web browser, or the functionality of some web site you frequently visit? Here I will explain how to do that.
The end of 2008 is near, and I felt it was time to summarize the passed year.
Something was brought to my attention which, to say the least, left me a little baffled: IE 6 is coming to mobile phones…
Something which have troubled web developers for a long long time is the proprietary event handling implementation in Internet Explorer. In IE 8, this really has to go.
Since everyone and his mother is beating down on Internet Explorer, I thought I’d express things from IE’s own perspective:
This article is also available in Hungarian.
Personally, I like opacity when it is used well in a web site. And instead of some static images, I prefer, when possible, that it is achieved through CSS.
One browser to rule them all, one Google to find them, one extension to bring them all, and in the darkness (Redmond?) bind them.
The web is buzzing! Something which was due to come, sooner or later, has happened. Google is launching their own web browser today: Google Chrome.
I’m back. 🙂
Two and a half years ago, I released the first version of getElementsByClassName. With how web browsers has evolved since, I thought I’d release a real ultimate version, dated 2008. 🙂
A feature most people don’t seem to know about is conditional compilation in Internet Explorer web browsers.
When developing JavaScript, performance is one of the vital things. Therefore, I thought I’d share the performance of loops with JavaScript, and give some advice.
When I read the news this morning, it blew my mind! Microsoft will use the Gecko layout engine for IE 8.
First out was Opera, and then WebKit (which Safari and some other web browsers are based on), to pass the Acid3 test.
Looking at the upcoming releases of different web browsers I started to wonder whether specifying fonts in relative units, such as ems etc, will be a common approach in the future.
As you all know, form elements aren’t that easy to style, especially not consistently. At a first glance, the button element seems like a sure winner, but once you delve into it…
A number of exciting things have been going on in the DOMAssistant camp, so I thought I’d fill you in with some of the latest. We’re talking plugins, developer tools and taking a glimpse into the future.
For those of you who have missed it, IE 8 beta is now available for download. Let’s take a quick look on what’s in it.
I am, hypothetically ( 🙂 ) working on an e-commerce site, and the other day I discovered that IE doesn’t post all values with a form.
As reported all over Internet, Microsoft has completely turned around regarding their initial Standards Mode approach in the upcoming IE 8.
A topic that just can’t be discussed enough is Microsoft and how some of their decisions affect us Web Developers, end users and, consequently, the entire world.
For me and a lot of other people I’ve been talking to, the latest release of Firefox haven’t really been delivering.
Ever had the problems with width set in percentage, and every web browser seem to treat it differently? Elements falling down in IE, ruining your layout? I sure have, and John Resig explains how it really works.
There’s a fire spreading over the Internet right now, and it’s about the new Microsoft idea with version targeting in their new IE 8 web browser.
We all know that Internet Explorer hasn’t been the best of the bunch rendering CSS properly, and while IE 7 got better, it’s far from perfect. I have an example here where I can’t make links (appear) clickable, no matter what.
The year 2007 has come to an end, or rather, it very soon has. I thought I’d write a summary of what happened me as well as on the web during 2007, to have a closure for the year that has passed.
Opera brings Microsoft and Internet Explorer in front of the European Commission with an antitrust complaint.
Since the CSS support in Internet Explorer, especially in versions prior to Internet Explorer 7, has been lagging quite substantially, clever web developers have started using CSS expressions to mimic CSS functionality. However, few realize how this affects performance.
Writing such a post as this might seem like such an obvious way to get a lot of comments. And that’s just what it is!
Mobile surfing. Is that your poison? To be honest, I do no mobile surfing at all (anymore), but the general interest to do so seems to grow stronger every day. And from what I’ve heard, a lot of people have been impressed and satisfied with Opera Mini, so therefore I’d like to announce the Opera Mini 4 beta 2.
Just an hour or so ago, Roger and I were talking over e-mail about a completely different topic, when he gave me a tip that a beta of Safari is now available, and it also offers a Windows version!
Well, I guess the title and the image basically says it all… 🙂
I don’t know why, but problems seem to always be especially good at showing their ugly face at work in Friday afternoons/evenings. This time around, IE (big f**king surprise) displayed an odd behavior when using the addEvent method on the window object.
When using floats in CSS, without a doubt you have encountered the interesting effects it will have on the following content. Here I will show you different ways to clear floats without any extra mark-up.
