Fixed positioning in Mobile Safari

Behold, fixed positioning on iPhone! http://doctyper.com/stuff/iphone/fixed/
Here’s a video for those without iPhones. This is running in the iPhone Simulator bundled with the SDK. Note that the animation is much choppier on an actual iPhone.
With the release of iPhone OS 2.0 came some great improvements over previous Mobile Safari versions. CSS animations are in (though buggy), […]

Flow 1.0.2

I just pushed release 1.0.2 out the door.
Bug fix:
Flow will no longer choke with SWFObject.
Early this morning I received a report about Flow not playing nicely with SWFObject. After debugging, it turned out it was a case of doing too much.
SWFObject correctly cleans up after itself in IE by removing its generated code on unload. […]

Introducing Flow

This is a post I’ve been wanting to write for months now. For the past several months I’ve been spending my free time toiling over a personal project of mine.

I went into the event with little-to-no expectation of anything happening. It being my […]

HTML vs. XHTML: Which is better?

If you are a client-side developer, this question has without a doubt been a topic of discussion. Should you use HTML, or XHTML? Does it matter? The answer is quite verbose, and takes a lot of consideration to determine:

Firebug bundle for TextMate

My two most indispensable web development tools are Firebug and TextMate. I’m sure the same goes for many web developers the world round. Firebug brings with it a complete set of debuggers and problem-solvers that is unrivaled by any other application. And TextMate is the little text editor that could (and does). It’s versatility is […]

Show love to the <body> element

As you begin to wireframe your next big web thing, it’s a good idea to keep this in mind. The body element can be styled just like any other element.
Let’s get a disclaimer out of the way: I am a markup purist at heart. There’s nothing that tugs at my heartstrings than well-structured markup. So […]
