I've been brushing up on HTML5 knowledge recently (partly due to being asked more questions by developers new to the topic). I have found this article (linked to from Ajaxian.com) to be a very good summary and overview of the Canvas object. It contains links to several very good resources: -...

I caught this from Slashdot earlier today. They have an online app that you can use to paste in your Javascript and then receive an optimised (and minified) version of your code (that is functionally the same). It also gives you warnings and identifies errors in your code. From the Google Code...

I wondered if anyone had used a Javascript comments solution that can be implemented on any web page (and was in a position to recommend it). This means no back-end changes... purely a front-end call to the 3rd party, and the comments (for that page) are returned and surfaced on the page. It's...

I was doing some surfing today (during lunch!) and discovered this blog post that explains the "Best Way" to load external javascript: The best way to load external Javascript The technique is very sound - and certainly worth playing with (especially as you start a new site/project). I really...

From their web blog, the Microsoft Expression guys have announced a preview of the SuperPreview application. Think "onion skin" overlay previews of how a page looks in different browsers. They talk about support for other browsers as well...

I was reading Ajaxian this morning and saw mention of this new Favicon maker tool editor thingy. The twist is that you can edit (pixel by pixel) the favicon generated by uploading an image. http://favicon-generator.org/editor/ I think i'll replace all my other Favicon generator links now...

An SEO company recently compiled a report for one of the websites that I've been involved with. They didn't find very much that we could change, and appear to be "scraping the barrel" for suggestions. One recommendation they have (and one which the business want me to implement) is to "tidy up...

I was styling up a form today, and came across some odd (yet well known) behaviour in IE6 and IE7. The legend element appears to have a left margin - that you cannot get rid of by setting the margin to zero (as works in all other browsers). Here is the code as a stand-alone test page...

I recently stumbled across this blog post, that whilst it appeared to be a little arrogant in it's introduction, I felt was really valuable information from "the CSS masters". [link url=http://nettuts.com/html-css-techniques/10-principles-of-the-css-masters/]10 Principles of the CSS...

I heard about this yesterday, and you can read about this on the offical google blog: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/fresh-take-on-browser.html So they will be releasing (for Windows) today (apparently)! It's called Google Chrome, and it's fully open source. There is a comic that you...

The folks at Mozilla are releasing Firefox 3 today (Tuesday 17th June)... Firefox 3 announcement. Very exciting! Cheers, Jeff Jeff's Blog [!]@[/!] CodeRambler http://www.coderambler.com/ http://www.coedit.co.uk/ Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have...

I have implemented many different ad banner solutions in the past, but this is the first time I have been asked by a client to set up an account etc with an ad banner provider. To be honest, it's still something that is being negotiated. So, given the site will be brand new (no historical...

Is it possible to specify the full path to an arbitrary file on a users computer, with a view to then upload it (to a server) using Flash? I am attempting to test a flash based file upload solution (initially described here: thread250-1420478). My gut feeling is that there is no way this should...

Here is a Press Release that covers the announcement from the W3C today, and a quick summary (from the press release): All good stuff! Cheers, Jeff Jeff's Blog [!]@[/!] CodeRambler http://www.coderambler.com/ http://www.coedit.co.uk/ Make sure your web page and css validates properly...

I found this link on Ajaxian this morning to a full CSS reference for Safari (supplied by Apple). There are some cool custom extensions that may (or may not) be considered useful along with some experimental CSS properties. Nice to have this all in one (official) place, too! Cheers, Jeff...

Surprisingly(?) I was unable to find a reference that gave a specific answer to this when I was searching earlier on today. Maybe someone here has a reference they can point to... The site I'm working on has many images. Many more are added every day by editors uploading and creating content...

I have a simple page layout of one column (that contains dynamic content that varies from page to page) and an absolutely positioned div that sits at the top of the page and to the right of the single content column. I am using scriptaculous to make the absolutely positioned div draggable...

I discovered this article online recently: http://aymanh.com/9-javascript-tips-you-may-not-know The article was well written and contained some really interesting tips. Take some time to read the comments, too... since he explains the b-tree storage stuff in better detail there. Nice example...

I'm currently looking at how we can do automated functional testing of SWF files within our web application. Currently we're using Selenium (from OpenQA) to do this kind of testing for the rest of the application. Are there any tools that you are aware of that will allow me to interact with an...

Just noticed this on The Register... http://www.regdeveloper.co.uk/2007/10/15/eclipse-rap_sheet/ Cheers, Jeff Jeff's Blog [!]@[/!] CodeRambler http://www.coderambler.com/ http://www.coedit.co.uk/ Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before...
