    Especially check out the video with Laura Didio that is linked from that site. She does not sound very neutural to me. http://wm.microsoft.com/ms/windowsserversystem/fac ts/videos/yankee_group_laura_didio.wmv

  2. Re:CSS Zen Garden styles on 10 Best Resources for CSS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    He was also complaining about designs that did not handle resizing of text very vell. And very common "webdesigners" tries to lock the users to one font-size and the layout breaks horrible if one tries to resize the text. So yes, the layout I linked to is an exception to that rule. Even a layout that uses the whole width can break when the text is resized.

    So for me a design that doesn't break in diffrent font-sizes is more important than one that uses the whole width.

    There are exception like Patrick Griffith's "Elastic Lawn" http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/063/063.css& page=0. Scales rather nicely when you adjust the font-size.

    Mozilla has support for xforms: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xforms/

    Though you have to download a nightly build of either firefox or mozilla suite which has support for XTF then you can try xforms with an extension.
    A bit of a hassel, but after seeing the xforms examples I have to say it looks pretty neat ;)

  12. Re:Makes sense to me. on AOL Plans A Standalone Browser · · Score: 2, Informative

    We already know that AOL has worked to integrate the IE engine into Netscape, has reworked the winamp core into a new AMP player using XUL for the interface, and implemented an AIM client in XUL. That appears to me to be a very consistent plan to integrate all their products / acquisitions into a new internet suite, based on Mozilla XUL.

    No, the AMP is using wxWindows, not xul.

  13. Re:Woah! on Winamp Down for the Count · · Score: 1

    there is still some of us that prefere winamp3. I still use it, mostly because of the playlist manager. just too bad they stopped working on it too soon, would been perfect had they removed some of the few bugs. but still even with those bugs i think its way better than the version 2

    just let us hope they will continue the work on the wasabiplayer. www.wasabidev.org one of their goals is to get it on linux aswell. a reason winamp3 had buildt names like 499a, 499b as the version 500 was supposed to work on linux.

    I have built *tons* of web pages for both IE and Mozilla. They render exactly the same in Opera, IE, KHTML, and Mozilla, they conform to the XHTML 1.1 spec, they are lightweight, and they look pretty good.

    do you server your pages as application/xhtml? something you should when conforming to the xhtml1.1 specs. last time i checked msie couldn't handle that pretty well.(granted the same goes for khtml) http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/
