A few details were announced about the upcoming Internet Explorer 7 Beta over at the IEBlog. It seems that the cries of the developers have been heard as the team announced PNG transparency support and improved CSS support. It seems that this next version of the browser won’t simply be another security patch, but an... […]

I just read today that support for the HTML canvas element has been checked in to the Mozilla source tree. As far as I know, this makes Mozilla the first browser to implement any part of the Web Applications 1.0 specification (still in working draft form at the moment). For the uninitiated, the WHATWG is... […]

I came across this article earlier today, explaining ten things you should do when writing JavaScript. It’s a fairly complete list for having only ten items, and I’m happy to say that I believe my book covers most of these. The others, I think, lend more towards Web site design and enhancement whereas my book... […]

After months of quiet, Dave Hyatt, developer of Apple’s Safari browser, has been on quite the blog-roll lately (get it?). His latest entry details enhancements to Safari 1.3, and I’m pretty excited to see both the contentEditable and designMode properties are now supported. Additionally, most of DOM 2 is now supported and exposed to the... […]

If you ask me, the quality of Web development articles online lately has been severely lacking (save for my recent contributions, of course ;-)). With A List Apart no longer updating, and WebReference and Sitepoint having only a small trickle of new content here and there, I’ve almost stopped looking for new Web development articles... […]

Today I received the first copy of my book. Unfortunately, it’s not actually mine; it’s a copy for a reviewer that I’ll be signing and sending out. Is it weird that the reviewers get a copy of the book before me? Ah well, it’s still pretty cool, if not creepy, to see my face on... […]

Way back when, there was an Acid test for testing CSS box model implementations in browsers. This simple test was used by browser developers to ensure proper alignment with appropriate standards. Now, the Web Standards Project has introduced the second generation, the Acid2 Test, to further help browser makers tackle proper CSS, PNG, and HTML... […]

The second part of my three-part series on how to create an autosuggest textbox (to emulate Google Suggest) is now up on WebReference. I got a lot of positive feedback on the first part, and I hope everyone enjoys this one just as much. […]

I have just completed (for the time being) the design for my friend Amanda’s Web site. She’s a terrific photographer who has opened up her own studio called Kokoro Photography. If you’re in the Denver, Colorado area (or are willing to fly her out to wherever you are), you won’t be disappointed. […]

It appears that the folks over at Secunia have found a JavaScript flaw in Firefox. The flaw allows a script to read an arbitrary amount of information contained in the browser memory. This data could be anything from URLs to JavaScript commands. Secunia has posted a test that demonstrates the flaw. The test uses a... […]
