Web Designer’s Checklist

  • July 18, 2010 at 9:01 am

  • An up-to-date set of comparison tables for browser support of CSS3 selectors and HTML5 properties. It doesn’t include IE9, because they have a whole separate page of tables previewing IE9 support for HTML5 and CSS3. Visit Web Designer’s Checklist

YUI Graded Browser Support

  • June 25, 2010 at 4:00 pm

  • This page has been around for a good while. I’m flagging it up now because I’m trying to build up a sort of toolkit and primer for colleagues managing websites; the rather unsophisticated ‘every user should have exactly the same experience on our website’ is – sadly and surprisingly – still a common attitude. This [...]

Playing with CSS (IE7 fails, of course)

  • March 23, 2009 at 10:11 pm

  • I’ve been playing with CSS3, just for fun really. All of the styles I’ve used work in Safari; most of them work in Firefox and Opera; none of them work in Internet Explorer 7. For my test page I wanted: paragraphs with transparent coloured backgrounds layered over images; each image to be different; the boxes [...]

CSS Eleven: I’m happier now

  • November 21, 2007 at 2:12 pm

  • It’s been a while, sorry. Last time I posted (aeons ago) I promised to do some testing for css3.info; oops. I am doing it, but as often happens it’s had to slide down my list of priorities. Having been a little wary of CSS Eleven back then, I have since been to a seminar day [...]

CSS Eleven: good idea, but there are a lot more than eleven of us using CSS

CSS ‘sliding doors’: positioning the tabs

  • September 10, 2007 at 7:29 pm

  • A lot has been written on styling html lists to make them look pretty, a good example being Douglas Bowman’s ‘Sliding Doors‘ articles on alistapart.com. However, I’ve still not managed to master it. Either I have problems with floated elements or IE doesn’t style the tabs properly (IE6, at any rate). I finally got it [...]

Using CSS to add opaque text to transparent backgrounds

  • August 20, 2007 at 6:21 pm

  • CSS doesn’t currently allow for an element to have a transparent background with opaque text: the text will also be transparent. On top of that, any child elements will inherit the transparency. But there are ways… I’ve just redesigned this blog (come on, it could be worse), and I wanted the title to sit in [...]
