This is an easy fix, but I thought it was worth a post anyway, in case someone comes across it.
Setting overflow: hidden on a block element does not work in IE, if width and height are not set. But, it does in other standards aware browsers.
You may come across this situation if you have an [...]
Getting Overflow Hidden to Work in IE
Firefox 2 Does Not Support inline-block
Those familiar with CSS 2.1 may be familiar with the CSS property display: inline-block. This property allows an object to have the properties of both an inline object and a block object. What this means is that the object can be displayed inline but have height and width qualities of a block object.
This is a [...]
Safari Web Inspector for Windows
In case you didn’t know, there is a beta version of the Mac browser Safari available on Windows as of last year. I’m not sure why it is still in beta status as it has been out for awhile, and Safari 3 for Mac is now part of Tiger and Leopard and not in beta.

PNG Not a Good Fit for the Web Afterall

In fact you can see September 2007 browser stats [...]
Microsoft is Pushing IE7 Downloads
I keep a copy of IE6 installed for testing purposes. When I fired up IE6 this morning, it took me to this page for IE7, basically prompting me to upgrade to IE7. It seems that Microsoft is trying harder to get users of IE6 to upgrade to IE7. Ask and you shall receive.
The other day [...]
