Hints HOWTOs
good css practices.

I always start my stylesheet(s) with a table of contents so I can easily locate particular styles in the future. I would recommend breaking your […]
Hints HTML/XTML Web Development
using the title attribute in html links.
Ever wonder how to get a mouse over “tool tip” to appear without much hassle? Use the title attribute (keep your mouse over the link for a few seconds to see this in action). Not only does this help your users/readers get more information, it also helps people who are using auditory browsers will have […]

CSS positioning.
There are few things that drive me more crazy than CSS, and yet I work with it and actually enjoy it on occasion (when it is all over and QA’ed). The last few days have been CSS hell. I will note that I have finally reached the point in my career where I use the […]
CSS Web Development
making things work: ie 5-7 and css.
I am currently working on a CSS project that needs to work in IE 5.0+, FireFox 1+, Safari 1+, and Opera 8+ for both Mac and PC. Normally writing CSS for multiple browsers/multiple platforms does not scare me, but the IE 5.0 part scares me, particularly since I am going to have to create some […]
Serenity Now!
One of Those Days
Time for a beer! Nothing like waking up at 5am and putting in multiple hours of “work” before you actually start your day job. To begin the day…I could not sleep (because of the humidity) so I decide to get up early and check my consulting company’s email figuring I can do a few simple […]

helpful css tips.
Over the years, I have wasted a lot of time on “guessing” what would work and what would not work. Anyone just starting with CSS or looking to modify someone else’s CSS will hopefully find these tips helpful and time saving. Padding or Margin? These two attributes are often used, and more often confused. The […]
CSS
display:inline.
Instead of practicing my short game or enjoying the nice weather in the backyard on the hammock, I decided to spend my day yesterday squashing IE 6 bugs. Issue #1 and #2 that took me several hours to resolve: Everything displayed fine in Safari, Opera, Firefox, etc but not in IE 6 for the PC. […]

jappler v14.
Well, I have done it again, a slight redesign to the eye, but a major overhaul on the backend. I have pretty much converted all what once were graphics into text with CSS. I have been working on this for a few weeks now and when I get a few minutes here and there, I […]
CSS
time suck.
Some days are more fun than others. I did not have time to install Fedora Core 5 today, but will hopefully get that going in the next few days. Lots of work, but hopefully I will be able to wrap a few things up tomorrow. A big congrats to Doug as he is working on […]
Apple CSS
a fun day with CSS and HD.
Getting rid of tables is extrememly satisfying to me when working with HTML. Fewer tables: cleaner code, easier to maintain code (throw away those WYSIWYG editors), faster loading code, and personally is very satidfying after years of cluttered and extraneous code from GoLive. I spent a good chunk of time today getting rid of hundres […]
