In the Red, published on Friday, 27 August 2010 11:59PMI join RED Interactive starting next month. I’ve had an interesting few weeks since being laid off. I’ve kept myself busy freelancing for Front Ended and Sencha Touch, all the while trying to decide what my next steps should be. Believe me, I’ve had a lot to think about. Everything from contemplating moves upstate, out-of-state, out-of-country, to [...]

Substitute :last-child for :first-child for IE 7 support, published on Tuesday, 01 December 2009 11:05PMConsider the following: ul li { display: inline; margin-right: 10px; padding-right: 10px; border-right: 1px solid red; } ul li:last-child { margin-right: 0; padding-right: 0; border-right: 0; } This bit of CSS would give you perfect line separators in IE8+. But since IE 7 supports the :first-child pseudo-class, we can do one better: ul li { display: inline; margin-left: 10px; padding-left: 10px; [...]

RGBa makes a great debugging tool, published on Tuesday, 01 December 2009 10:31PMWith 24 Ways pushing RGBa into the foreground today, I thought I’d share a quick debugging tip. Using RGBa can help while you’re debugging element positioning. For the adventurous, combine with a debug class: .debug { background: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5); }

Flow 1.1, published on Monday, 15 June 2009 12:44AMAnd just like that, a new update. Several small fixes worthy of a point upgrade: Switched QuerySelector engine to Sizzle 1.0 querySelector/querySelectorAll can now be run on any element (via Selectors API) IE 8 does not like setAttribute on type elements. Reverting to DOM 1 method. Fixed minor assertion bug in Require.js

Pickleview shuts down, published on Sunday, 14 June 2009 2:44PMIt had a good run there for a few months. I don’t need to tell you about MLB’s At Bat app do I? It’s the better (and free) alternative, and I can’t really compete with baseball’s integrated setup. My thanks to the founders, wherever you are. That was a great weekend.

Fixed positioning in Mobile Safari, published on Wednesday, 06 August 2008 12:34AMUpdate: An anonymous genius in the comments suggested using translateY instead of top for the animation. After some edits I’ve updated my demo, and it flies! The scrolling animation is smooth as silk. Apparently Webkit transforms are the only hardware-accelerated animations at this point. Thanks, random dude on the internet! Update 2: This code is released [...]

Breaking out of a forEach loop, published on Friday, 25 July 2008 12:40AMAn email going around the client-side mailing list at Schematic casually mentioned forEach loops. The sender liked them, but tended to avoid them because there was no way to break out of one. Naturally, this sent me on the hunt to see if it was at all possible. A furious Google search led me to a [...]

Flow 1.0.2, published on Wednesday, 16 July 2008 7:19PMI just pushed release 1.0.2 out the door. Bug fix: Flow will no longer choke with SWFObject. Early this morning I received a report about Flow not playing nicely with SWFObject. After debugging, it turned out it was a case of doing too much. SWFObject correctly cleans up after itself in IE by removing its generated code on unload. [...]
