Safari 3 Bug – CSS Style sheet

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Safari 3 had an issue with computing this following style statement that was placed at the top of a CSS file, which in turn was imported into another CSS document and that document was called in by an HTML document.
So basically; index.html: –> css.css: @import url(/css/index.css); –> index.css had the offending code:

@charset "UTF-8";
/* CSS Document */
#col1 {
float:left;
width:250px;
}


Removing the character set statement and the comment “CSS Document” fixes the issue.
So:

#col1 {
float:left;
width:250px;
}

Works.

Coda, Panic’s programming program

Friday, May 15th, 2009

After a lot of back and forth, with new coding apps I’ve started and stuck with Coda. It’s not perfect by any means, but it is solid, easy to use, simple and the people at Panic are helpful.

I guess I’m just not an Emacs with GIT kinda guy… ;)

Firefox Float Drop Bug

Ran into this issues today with Firefox 2.0.0.20 (something like that).

Set the width of the floating div and that fixed the issue for me.

jQuery, if you don’t know, you’d better ask somebody

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

A long confusing battle of javascript libraries, I think it’s safe to say jQuery is going to be the js library of choice… it’s definitely mine.
(Saying this after just completing two small projects using Mootools to appease the Safari 2.0 users)
