If you need to use a 24 bit PNG in IE6 and want it to work, you’re going to need a little help. First, start by creating a new stylesheet just for IE6, call it ‘f**kYouIE6.css’ or whatever you’d like. Then call the css with the following code after all of your other CSS calls.

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/ie6Blows.css">
<![endif]-->

Then, in your CSS file, add the following property to whatever class/id/object will be using the alpha layer transparency.

img {
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader("images/button.png");
}

please keep in mind, that if you’re making a website for anybody other than yourself, the aforementioned naming conventions for css files is strongly discouraged.

Note: This is targeted towards Windows users; this will affect all browsers.

If you think HTML5 is going to kill Flash, go fuck yourself. If you’re defending Flash as the final solution to the web and think HTML5 has no chance, go fuck yourself with a jagged stick.

The only real concern here, is that developers don’t know how to code in multiple languages and have pin-holed themselves to being an expert in one area; overlooking the beauty of a web flourishing with multiple languages and interesting code. If you only know ActionScript, tough shit, pick up a book or read a couple of articles and familiarize yourself with HTML and JavaScript. If you only know HTML and are thanking God that you don’t have to learn how to use Flash to embed video, you’re sort of right. Good luck trying to make games in HTML5 to replace those in Flash. I hear pong is some real next generation shit.

The point is, as a developer in the web industry, it is your job to keep up to date with emerging technologies and be ready to implement them as clients request. At the very least you should be able to pick the appropriate technology for a client on a job by job basis. Get over the petty, childish arguments and keep doing what employed web developers have been doing all along… evolve.

aside: consumers of content don’t give a shit what underlying technologies their media is being served up on, as long as it’s compatible with their device and the quality is superior.

The button on your form should look something like this:

<button id="submit" onclick="validate(event); return false;">Send Email</button> the return false prevents the default action here

The validation code might go something like this:

function foo(evt){

evt = evt || window.event;

var theform = document.contactForm; //this is how I capture my form, by using the form's name

/* validation code can go here */

if (isvalid){ //a test i'm using based on validation requirements

theform.submit(); //will submit the form
}

//the following test will cancel bubbling and default actions across the form, we use this for IE.
if (evt.stopPropagation)

evt.cancelBubble = true;


}

Essentially what you’re doing is stopping the browsers natural reaction to an event, such as clicking the submit button on the form and letting it run through your validation code. The added lines at the bottom prevent certain browsers from continuing on with the default actions even though you’ve coded return false; in your button click. Thanks Internet Explorer.

This is some knowledge dropped on me by my good friend Lawrence. Check his site out for some other useful tips.

I suppose it’s my fault for “picking on” an internet celebrity, an attractive one at that. When you mess with the only girl that some five-knuckle-shuffler’s see on a daily basis and probably fantasize about living with, one can expect some sort of repercussion. Justine Ezarik (ijustine) is a popular blogger, micro-blogger, television personality and youtube phenomenon. I followed her twitter account for some time and came to the conclusion that I was getting too involved in a strangers life, so I decided to stop following her. I also made a comment about it, targeted towards a single friend of mine, visible to the entire planet. I suppose that was my mistake. Either way, I tried to clear things up and can assume (since she read my original tweet) that she has read the response. I’ll let you read the original post and my response posted below.

Yeah, newfag. For those of you who don’t know, fag isn’t a term for bigots any more. I mean, it still is used that way, but the word has lost all ownership and almost has a desensitized value. The word is smacked on to the end of another word to standardize its group members as substandard. So newfag’s by definition are ‘inexperienced newcomers’, chanfags are those who spend too much time on 4chan. The possibilities are endless.

When is it appropriate? Honestly, it shouldn’t ever be appropriate. Using the terminology outside of tightly developed online communities could result in a lot of disgust, and using it in a real life situation towards anyone who doesn’t explicitly know what you’re referring to might get you deservingly hospitalized. It does however, come into pay when people are acting anonymously, because with anonymity comes the freedom to express yourself in a way that even you might typically be disgusted with.

The real point is, that the word Fag, is now the word fag. It holds a whole new intent, lack of power, lack of punch and general lack of wit. This ties into the real problem. Generally speaking, the users of these terms are old enough to know better and probably do. The imitators (under 15’s) who are new to all of this and want to be like the other really cool anonymous people, are going to pick it up and think this type of thing is acceptable. It may only be a small part of the problem, but it’s a problem that is desensitizing and demoralizing our youth. I’m looking forward to the next 10 years. Today’s youth are going to be tomorrows ignorant workforce.

Here’s something for you anonfags to consider:

Eminem said it best “‘Faggot’ to me doesn’t necessarily mean gay people. ’Faggot’ to me just means… taking away your manhood. You’re a sissy. You’re a coward.”

Disclosure: I frequent 4chan on a weekly basis. Most of the funny things on the Internet originate from 4chan. Anonymity sometimes equates to hilarity.

Way to go YouTube, you’re late. You’ve been outdone for months, and finally trying to play catchup. Not only are you releasing your high quality “HQ” video with wide screen format late, you’re also doing a sloppy job of your CSS. Note the links in the image above, in the bottom right corner of the video itself.

Take a note from Virb, they’ve had a nice clean CSS as well as wide screen HQ video since day one. Additional features such as a dim switch to darken the rest of the screen make this video player a superior option. Another player on a level of its own is Hulu. Hulu plays wide screen, 360p/480p, has a dim switch, full screen, and content quality that deserves such a player.

Maybe that’s the point, the quality of content on YouTube doesn’t deserve a truly great player. The content is crap, so should be the player? Let’s see what happens with support for higher quality video and the new release of the Flip MinoHD. Will the content get any better? Or will it just look better?

The real concern is the update of the YouTube player for iPhone and G1. The G1 will have flash support soon enough, and with the game changer on the way, you might be looking back at this post a year from now saying “What’s a YouTube player?”
