Yesterday I came up against and issue with IE6 that I hadn’t notice before - at least not directly. When I construct my xhtml I like to add a comment to the end of the closing div tag to aid readability
However IE6 will sometimes treats this as a 1px padding for the containing div.
So long live FF and now IE7 (which doesn’t do this)

Flash video is my flavour of choice when it comes to video on the web. Extremely flexible, simple and with Flash Player being the most popular browser plugin, it seems to me like a real winner. I hate a lot of the ways people apply Flash, but for me it can’t be beaten when it comes to web video. So, when doing research for a project today I was excited to see that a new version of the Flash Video Player (Creative Commons Licensed) has just been released. Well hoorah and huzzah!
Flash Video Player 3 introduces XSPF/RSS playlists, tons of documentation on the ActionScript/JavaScript API… oh, and the whole thing’s been rewritten to boot! I’m having a look through all the code right now and it looks very nicely organised - a true show of how great OSS can be!

a:focus {user-focus: none; outline: none; -moz-user-focus: none; -moz-outline: none; }
Hope it helps

Andy has kindly asked me to contribute to Spicy Jam, so here’s my first post. I’m a freelance web developer based in the South West, focusing mostly on PHP/MySQL solutions with a bit of JavaScript and DOM scripting trickery chucked in for extra flavour. Hopefully I’ll be able to share some useful information and possibly even dispense some wisdom… who knows?!
I’ve recently released a light little bit of JavaScript called TargetOrder un
