The Holy Grail of CSS layouts

January 31, 2006 at 07:03 PM

Three columns with a fixed-width sidebar for your navigation and another on the right. Add a liquid center and make them all equal heights and you've got the Holy Grail off CSS-only layouts.

Apple's iWeb is no bueno

January 16, 2006 at 08:00 PM

Considering how much better Dreamweaver 8's XHTML and CSS support has gotten over the last few year's Apple's new iWeb sure does output some nasty code.

<div class="paragraph Body">

Yikes.

October 02, 2005 at 07:40 PM

Roger Johannsson explains the basics of selectors plus the universal, type, id, and class selectors. I'd love to be able to use the attribute or child selectors but IE doesn't support them, my fingers are crossed for IE 7.

August 27, 2005 at 07:58 PM

Mike's initial impressions of the upgrades and a few things he's still waiting for either Six Apart or some plug-in writer to take care of.

TexasSports.com using SlideShowPro

June 21, 2005 at 10:38 AM

Was looking for photos of last night's Texas game and saw that TexasSports.com is using SlideShowPro for their galleries now. I wonder when that happened. They have a separate slideshow set up for each sport, and then each slideshow contains multiple galleries.

Pretty cool implementation.
