Trash All IE Hacks

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Yesterday i visit webdesignwall and i found quiet interesting topic about Internet Explorer. For a webdesigner, they have to take more time to put their hard work on it and patch the bugs by various IE hacks. About 80% of CSS debug time are spend on IE6. It means that designer have to waste a lot of time just to make it look nice on IE browser. If you are using other browser like Firefox, Opera or Safari you don’t have this problem.

Common IE hacks

  1. CSS Conditional comments
    In order for our sites to work on specific verson of IE (due to improper CSS rendering), CSS conditional comments are used to apply special CSS specifications to fix it. If you haven’t realized this yet, read the IE bug articles on positioniseverything.net (warning: you might hate IE more after you read them).
  2. PNG hack
    As mentioned early, IE6 is outdated and doesn’t support PNG alpha transparency. In order to display PNG (with alpha transparency) properly in IE6 or older version, we use this hack.

So everyone who are using IE, lets change it now and using other browser and at the same time you can save designer some time to doing other things:

  1. Firefox
  2. Opera
  3. Safari
  4. Avant

Learning CSS

Monday, May 12th, 2008

When surf people website or blog, it makes me want create my own website design by create wordpress theme for this blog. Actually i like to design more than to blog. But what the use of the theme if it cannot be use, so thats why i starting to blog. Website design is not an easy for a beginner like me, so to begin my journey to create my own theme, i visit w3schools to learn about css. This is overview about css:

What is CSS?

  • CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets
  • Styles define how to display HTML elements
  • Styles are normally stored in Style Sheets
  • Styles were added to HTML 4.0 to solve a problem
  • External Style Sheets can save you a lot of work
  • External Style Sheets are stored in CSS files
  • Multiple style definitions will cascade into one

Style Sheets Can Save a Lot of Work

Styles sheets define HOW HTML elements are to be displayed, just like the font tag and the color attribute in HTML 3.2. Styles are normally saved in external .css files. External style sheets enable you to change the appearance and layout of all the pages in your Web, just by editing one single CSS document!

CSS is a breakthrough in Web design because it allows developers to control the style and layout of multiple Web pages all at once. As a Web developer you can define a style for each HTML element and apply it to as many Web pages as you want. To make a global change, simply change the style, and all elements in the Web are updated automatically.
