  • The end of browser wars?
    • ]]>     A great article written by Andy Clarke on how he handles browser testing for the sites he makes.

    I like the fact that he relies on educating the client to cover his ass about older browsers. I just lived hell myself a few weeks ago when a project practically came to a halt due to my client telling me he was using IE6. It was my mistake not having discussed browser issues with him.

  • Last.fm lets me remove artists from the list
    • ]]>     Thanks to Josiah Platt I’ve removed the annoying focus effect that Safari forces on all input fields.

    Just add this piece of magic to your CSS.

    *:focus {outline: 0;}

    • ]]>     A couple of good jQuery links. Probably everyone knows them, but hey, maybe you don’t.

    First of all the official jQuery blog. It’s so freakin full of good stuff. You’ll find jewels like this article explaining how to set and delete cookies with jQuery or this super cool jQuery MP3 player.

    Second, jQuery TOOLS. A collection of useful scripts for working on UIs.
