Flip Flop Flyin' I have been enjoying this site for a couple of years now. Many kudo's to this guy, you will have lots of stuff to look at if you visit this site.

Stopdesign | Throwing Tables Out the WindowThis is a must read article for any serious webdeveloper. It can help you explain the standards case to your managers and or clients. I have used it a couple of times now to convice people of the importance of good use of standard (x)html and css in various projects...
It helps you in giving a real life example, with the most important argument. That is SAVES MONEY in the long run at least is my not so humble opinion.

I am currently starting on a major re-design of this site. Moving from the old default style to my own. Give it some time as I haven't got a lot of time to do it in. Feel free to leave a comment on this..

We all know that IE is the most popular browser (for the moment...) and we all know and hate all of its bugs and quirks.
What a lot of people do not know is how to use some bugs to solve others. I will show you how you can use IE's own bugs to solve other ones and still keep people with decent browsers happy...

For this case suppose that you have an element that display right in Firefox and wrong in IE.
You can than use the !important declaration to set the correct behaviour for FireFox and set the IE declaration below it. FireFox ignores the declaration below the !important as it is supposed to do, IE doesn't do anything with the !imporant attribute and uses the lowest declaration.

Here is a test case you can use to test this behaviour.

.test {
width: 100px !important; /* this is the behaviour Firefox uses */
width: 300px; /* IE ignores the !important and uses this... */
border: 25px solid #CCC;
}

This was tested on IE 6.0 and firefox 0.9.1 on win xp.
And on safari, firefox, ie 5.0, netscape 7.2 and opera 7.5.4 on OS X.Only IE on windows gets it wrong...

why oh why is the majority of the users using the wrong browser :(

Internet Archive: Wayback MachineIf you wonder if the site you are visiting was any different in the old days, check this. I think it is a nice treat and sometimes good for a laugh.

Lorem Ipsum - All the facts - Lipsum generatorA very usefull site for generating Ipsum Lorum, something every designer needs. Ipsum lorum is the way to go... :)

I read this article years ago when it was published ( or not long there after). It still is true...Death of a thousand stings

link updated, it was no longer working

Naar vorenVery good site about webdevelopment in general (in dutch). A must read for any dutch webdeveloper and designer.

Wait and see, this blog is up and running, next step is to redesign this.. wait a couple of days for any real action..
