!!blue’s blog

Some links:

• Pure CSS Scrollable Table with Fixed Header sweet!
• CSS discuss great resources
• centricle : css filters (css hacks) finally, a centralized list of hacks
• Code References of HTML, XHTML, XML and more; another great resource

Note to myself: go back into the smilies hack for WordPress and see if it can be made into a select list. Probably not, but hey, try it’s worth a try! If not, I should ask the WordPress support forums people.

Mike D has released an update to the sIFR technique sIFR 2.0 Release Candidate so I’m going to update my blog in a few days when I can read all the comments and all that. Also going to add the fact that I use the technique in the colophon; I haven’t updated that since I moved from MT to WP.

But not now cos I have a scary headache. More on that later…

I’ve seen this before, but now it’s explained. It’s a little something called: Scrolling Drop Shadows and it’s kick-ass!! Of course, it doesn’t work in IE because it uses PNGs. But who cares?

I want to try it with an image, just to see if it works; like a tuft of grass on the bottom of the browser’s inner window. Can you imagine?!

Also: My Favorite JavaScript for Designers is a collection of quick JS snippets of code that are extremely useful. In the comments for that entry I found a link to how to: Create a Pull Quote with Javascript (and CSS).

Over at Left Justified, Andrew has written a follow-up entry Global White Space Reset to an earlier entry where he quickly noted that added the following line to your CSS clears up all white space on your HTML/XHTML page:

* {padding: 0; margin: 0;}

He provides further details and examples in this entry. Highly recommended read!
