SaveTheDevelopers – Making The Web A Better Place

Posted · Category: Information

Save the Developers

Do you actually think you can rid the world of the scourge that is Internet Explorer 6? We can only hope, but the truth of the matter is that not all users have the luxury of upgrading their browser, and some simply fail to see the flaws and therefore adopt the “if it aint broke, don’t fix it” mentality.

For the next few years we’ll probably need to continue supporting Internet Explorer 6, but that doesn’t mean we just have to wait for users to find something new. The goal of SaveTheDevelopers.org is to rally the development community behind the goal of reducing the number of Internet Explorer 6 browsers in use by urging users to upgrade their browsers without hindering the user experience.

SaveTheDevelopers.org strives to be different is that they want to offer an unobtrusive option for developers to inform their visitors that there are more secure, stable browsers available as opposed to slapping them on the wrist and hiding content if they happen to visit a site using Internet Explorer 6.

Elegant and Lightweight Slideshow Script

Posted · Category: Gallery, MIT License

Devthought has created an elegant, lightweight slideshow script called BarackSlideshow. It works with MooTools 1.2, and supports all kinds of shape transformations (top and left coordinates, and height and width properties), which means it can now be used with vertical, horizontal, or even irregular lists. Devthought came up with a new class that receives the images and loading spinner as parameters as well.

The CSS plays a major role. You should analyze it carefully before implementing it in your applications or websites. You’ll probably need to adjust the ids, or use classes instead to keep your stylesheets clean.

How to Get Cross Browser Compatibility Every Time

Posted · Category: Information

Cross-browser compatibility is one of the most time consuming tasks for any web designer. We’ve seen many different articles over the net describing common problems and fixes. Anthonyshort has collated all the information he could find to create some coding conventions for ensuring that your site will work first time in every browser. There are some things you should consider for Safari and Firefox also, and IE isn’t always the culprit for your CSS woes. Here is a quick summary of How to get Cross Browser Compatibility Every Time:

  • Always use strict doctype and standards-compliant HTML/CSS
  • Always use a reset at the start of your css
  • Use -moz-opacity:0.99 on text elements to clean up rendering in Firefox, and text-shadow: #000 0 0 0 in Safari
  • Never resize images in the CSS or HTML
  • Check font rendering in every browser. Don’t use Lucida
  • Size text as a % in the body, and as em’s throughout
  • All layout divs that are floated should include display:inline and overflow:hidden
  • Containers should have overflow:auto and trigger hasLayout via a width or height
  • Don’t use any fancy CSS3 selectors
  • Don’t use transparent PNG’s unless you have loaded the alpha

Live Search with Quicksilver String Ranking Algorithm

Posted · Category: Forms, MIT License

We have seen a lot of examples of Live Search. But now, Ordered List has added a bit of a twist to it. Steve mentioned that the typical year and month layout of archives was overkill. He thought a better way to present them would be to list them all and let live search sort ‘em out. He has created Live Search with Quicksilver Style by integrating “Quicksilver string ranking algorithm” into Live Search component. “Quicksilver string ranking algorithm” will be able to recognize which items you are searching for if you just use abbreviations, so you can type entire words, or just fragments of each.

For example, sure you can search ‘sidebar creative’ to find posts titled that, now you can just type ‘sdbcv’ to get the same result. And that guy Nunemaker, but is that name a keyboardful. Why don’t we just hit a few of the important characters like ‘nnmkr’. The post of “Welcome John Nunemaker” is right there at the top. Try out the demo, you will love this immediately.
