You built your whole website using html5 new shiny tags, you’re so proud of yourself, it looks great in your development browser. Time to give it a test in Internet Explorer to see what it looks like. It looks a lot worst than you was expecting… What the heck is going on?

Make html5 work under ie6, ie7 & ie8 by adding this small JavaScript code.

Content is the reason why people visit your website. They are searching for information. If they can’t quickly find what they’re looking for, they leave.

Learning how to make your content easy to access, helps your visitors find what they’re looking for. They don’t want welcome messages or animated splash pages. They want to find what they came for… and quickly.

Quick reference for designers & developers who just want the facts.

An update and comparison between the html we’ve been working on for years and the new html5.

What’s new, What was removed, What was changed and what’s the current browser support.

I just finished reading a really really good book called ‘Designing for the Social Web‘ written by Joshua Porter (@bokardo). By using real life examples he breaks down the steps needed to take users from being unaware of your web to being passionate users (your ultimate goal).

Suppose you have the following structure:

<div class="section">
<h3 class="title">Title</h3>
<span class="description">…</span>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h3 class="title">Title</h3>
<span class="description">…</span>
</div>

This code will let you access the child elements of ‘.section’ when you use an ‘each’ function

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$(‘.section’).each(function(i,element){
$(‘description’,this).fadeOut(100).fadeIn(100).fadeOut(100).fadeIn(100).fadeOut(100).fadeIn(100);
});
});
</script>

I hope this helps someone, I kept forgetting how to do this, so this is mostly a reminder for myself.

While I was writing the last post, I was trying to find a nice code highlighter with this requirements:

Keep Indentation: I want to code to look nice, but if it’s not indented correctly as I submit it, then it’s garbage

A quick post, I was just having problems in my website with my beautiful picture showing on top of everything. It was showing fine in FF but in Internet Explorer 7 it was showing behind, so you could only see like half of my face and that’s not fare for anyone.
I found this cool website [...]
