Anyone else been confused by random Js in their e-mails? I have received many e-mails that often end up with a J at the end of a line, often where one thought a smiley would fit right in. At first I suspected that it was a particular company that had an internal way of typing [...]

I recently learned some tips and tricks for developing webpages for the iPhone. There is really only one major difference that must be there for it to work properly. The viewport-meta.
<meta name=”viewport” content=”width=320; user-scalable=true” />
This meta-tag explains to the iPhone what dimensions the page is intended to be viewed in. If this tag is not [...]

All web programmers have probably had trouble with browsers caching pages it ought not to. So what can we do about it? Well in good old HTTP 1.0 we had a nice header that simply said:
Pragma: no-cache
Easy huh? Yes. Probably to easy. If not browsers then sure some proxy server will dissobey that simple command [...]

Google, Yahoo and Microsoft have togheter announced the support of a new tag for web development where you can specify your canonical links. The point of this is to enable webmasters themselves to “point out” which page contains the original copy of certain information in case multiple copies are shown on the same page. In [...]

In 1989 we had zero web browsers as we know them today, allthough just about to be invented around the corner. In 1999 we had two web browsers fighting a death match, Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator – a fight with Netscape cleverly lost by dying and coming back several open source reincarnations of which [...]

While it hurts my nitpicking handcodeing image to admit it, some frameworks are to good to ignore. One of them I found recently in Google BlueprintCSS. It’s a very flexible framework and with a license “you cannot refuse”.
I”ve used to code all CSS and HTML by hand (still!) and it is getting pretty tiresome to [...]

Google opened the doors for the public to the beta Knols. While Knols are very similar to Wikis there are two main overall design differences between the two. First of all while Wikis are “community authored” with a group of people behind most articles the Knols are author dependant. Whoever posts a Knol first becomes [...]

I’ve used the code from my previous post on almost all my sites now a couple of days and all the statistics are still working and I no longer experience any slow loading times using Firefox with NoScript. Until I see either a change in Googles code (that they use a single domain for javascripts) [...]

With the latest version of Firefox I’ve found myself using more and more Addons for specific purposes. I also started “saveing” open tabs when closing, to easier get back into my blogging / working again. Due to these reasons I found myself wanting a “work Firefox” and a “casual surfing Firefox” (mainly for other people [...]
