But 1.0 Beta is out now, still free despite some rumors to the contrary, and it’s rapidly taking it’s place at the […]

    Jeffrey Zeldman writes in IE7 CSS tweak show and tell: Once IE7 gains critical mass, a lot of our current thinking about ems and pixels and such will go out the window.

  • 10.2.06 Firefox and Web Design: Top 5 Extensions posted in Web Design

    This is more or less a “Top Firefox Addons” post, but pretty much our entire selection of Firefox extensions are geared towards web design/development, so that’s what I’m calling it. I couldn’t really do what I do without Firefox, or at least it would be considerably more difficult. While I have much […]

  • 8.8.06 IE7 and CSS… a dead horse? posted in General

    So the initial reports are popping up around the net. Internet Explorer 7 is only 54% compatible with the CSS 2.1 standard, vs. firefox’s 93% and Opera 9’s 96% (statistical analysis based on this source).
