  • 5.28.07 Ajax Usability: Tab History posted in Web Design

    Today’s tip gleaned from my experience in building the latest Circle Six Design website is more of a hint, or suggestion, than a how-to. It’s mostly about javascript, and my javascript is pretty crazy for this, mostly because I’m not very experienced with javascript and it’s kind of hacked. However, what I got working is worth sharing…

  • 10.19.06 Regurgitating the IE7 News posted in Web Design

    I’m not going to write about it because you can’t go anywhere on the net right now without hearing about it. Well, I’m sure there are some places. Here’s what snook.ca had to say about IE7 being released: It’s official folks: IE7 for XP has been released. You can also read more about […]

  • 9.1.06 Microsoft pulls AJAX posted in Web Design

    Were you impressed with the AJAXy search on Windows Live Beta? Because they just pulled it. I don’t know why. In the meantime, Google added a little AJAX popup to their search interface, so when you click the “more” link on the main search page, you can choose from more Google apps without having […]

  • 9.1.06 IE Developer Center Redesign: still a table. posted in Web Design

    Microsoft just announced a redesign of their Internet Explorer Developer Center on the IEblog. So I checked it out. You would think, with all of their supposed attention to CSS and standards compliance on IE7 that they would have paid a little attention to either one when putting a redesign of their […]

  • 8.28.06 Internet Explorer 7 fixed up? Nope. posted in Web Design

    A recent post on the IE Blog seemed hopeful. They’ve made a lot of fixes recently. But reports from beta testers, found in the comments of the post, were discouraging, as what IE claimed to have fixed was still erratic and fundamentally broken, and there are still major parts of the CSS1 […]

  • 8.22.06 More IE7 ranting… posted in Web Design, Geekery

    So, despite some retractions and an updated post from Paul Thurrott, I still have this burning question: “Why do we need Internet Explorer 7?” The major reason for the release, according to Bill Gates keynote and the IE Blog is security, security, security. But they keep responding to questions about standards by […]

  • 8.20.06 Firefox wins at Circle Six! posted in Geekery

    Based on my mint stats for the last 1000 some unique visitors, we’ve got 52% using Firefox and 24% using Explorer. I like my demographics! While I’ve admittedly gotten good at designing for Internet Explorer, and it takes me a lot less time to make things work, it still feels dirty to […]

  • 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). This jives with my initial experiences with the beta release, although the Microsoft blog claims quite a […]

  • 8.7.06 Browser wars tenfold. posted in General

    I’m sure this subject has been broached many times, in many ways, but I need to have a go at it… I started working with web design in the early days of the Explorer/Netscape browser wars. Back then we got frustrated because both browsers kept pushing proprietary features that forced us to design two sites […]

    WordPress database error: [Table 'db34682_circlesixblog.zp_images' doesn't exist]

    Internet Explorer struck again when I went to view my zenphoto galleries archive page. It just wasn’t there. I was already having some .htaccess problems that were very interesting. I, along with an apparently growing number of people using stopdesign derived themes, could not get the archives page to show up […]
