The mind of a Web Developer
I admit that all of this true. And yes, regular expressions are best started from scratch instead of editing an existing one.

Understanding CSS Floats
A simple introduction into the proper use of CSS floats for aspiring web designers. Web Designers all around are masters of CSS in themselves, and their mastery of floats is what makes them the ebst at what they do.
CSS Differences in Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8
One of the most bizarre statistical facts in relation to browser use has to be the virtual widespread numbers that currently exist in the use of Internet Explorer versions 6, 7 and 8. As of this writing, Internet Explorer holds about a 65% market share combined across all their currently used browsers. In the web development community, this number is much lower, showing about a 40% share.
9 Most Common IE Bugs and How to Fix Them [netTuts]
Internet Explorer – the bane of most web developers’ existence. Up to 60% of your development can be wasted just trying to squash out IE specific bugs which isn’t really a productive use of your time. In this tutorial, you are going to learn about the most common IE bugs and rendering disparities and how to easily squash them or deal with them. Interested? Let’s get started.
An Early Look At IE9 for Developers
We’re just about a month after the Windows 7 launch, and wanted to show an early look at some of the work underway on Internet Explorer 9.
Flawless CSS Hacks for IE8, IE7, and IE6
For all web developers, browser testing would probably amount to more than 30% of the time we spend in making sure your sites work on all possible browsers. If browsers were wild animals, then the Internet Explorer collection would probably be the wildest of them all (”wild” as in “WTF were they thinking?!”).
To draw a better picture as to how wild IE really is, think of it this way: if the wildness of Google Chrome is the equivalent of a cute little white bunny, IE6 would probably be a rabid velociraptor…with bazookas for arms.
Anyway, I’m getting ahead of myself. This post is all about CSS hacks for IE x.0 browsers so I should be talking about hacks and not about extinct animals. If you’re a web designer then you’re going to love this collection of CSS hacks:
- Firefox (all versions):
@-moz-document url-prefix() {
#sample {}
} - IE6 only:
* html #sample {} - IE7 only:
*:first-child+html #sample {} - IE8 and below:
color: red\9; - IE7 and below (asterisk hack):
*color: green; - IE7 and below (comma hack):
,#sample {margin-left:200px;} - IE6 and below (underscore hack):
_color: blue; - Chrome/Safari (Webkit):
@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
#sample {}
}
And that’s that. Why is it that I’m always so mean to the IE? I should really start cutting them some slack. Maybe I’ll start tomorrow.
