Hello new visitors! I can’t express how happy I have to have made the “hotlist” on del.icio.us, please bookmark and stick around. SG is going to have a massive face lift this week to refocus on bringing to light more cutting edge web development and design, stay tuned!
A smooth mac os x effect for zooming in on images. This script is based on jQuery and the authors site is full of examples.
A new css framework has hit the web and it looks really, really, well done. Like a few others, 960 is based on grids and prototyping your designs quickly and easily.
Bramus has just released a Photoshop plug in that exports all your Photoshop text, well, as a text file. I can think of a few neat uses for this so check it out.
A great demo page showing off Compound Microformats, if your wondering how to implement Microformats into your site, this is a good starting place.
Eric Meyer has updated his reset style sheet, tweaking a few things and removing others.
“t really is the beginning of a baseline style sheet. (Or can be.) Things like boldfacing and italics are some of the most obvious textual effects readers will see, and to have reset styles that treat them inconsistently across browsers doesn’t make sense.”
“Advanced forms” are rarely that. A more fitting name would be “Overwhelming and confusing forms”. But with Jason Long’s clever approach to streamlining a screen full of checkboxes, you might just be able to once again look fondly on your forms.
A lot of us know all the ins and outs of CSS2 and HTML4, and reading the same types of how-tos can get boring. What better way to fight that boredom than forget about the current practicality of CSS3 techniques and learn them anyway? Brian Suda does just that with this article on the immensely useful :target selector.
John Resig goes on the offensive against the news of browser targeting.
“Wanna know how I can tell that no other browser vendor participated in the creation of the new meta X-UA-Compatible tag? Because it’s completely worthless - and in fact harmful - for any browser to implement!”
Web icon, Jeffrey Zeldman, goes on the defensive with the announcement of version targeting in the upcoming IE browsers.
“By contrast, the many developers who don’t understand or care about web standards, and who only test their CSS and scripts in the latest version of IE, won’t opt in, so their stuff will render in IE8 the same way it rendered in IE7.”
