Box-shadow

box-shadow was a part of the CSS3 specification, but was removed last year for some odd reason. I've just noticed that it's been put back just recently (which is nice as it seems to be one of the few parts of the spec worth implementing).

On the completely unneccessary complexities of XML namespaces

Friday, January 1, 2010 7:24:41 AM

xml, xhtml, namespaces, w3c ...

Made a webpage in Opera, styled it (and it looked fine in Opera), opened it up for a quick check in Chrome (expecting everything to be grandio), only to see the whole thing go nuts. Tried Firefox, same problem as Chrome. What could be up?

It took me days (yes days!) to figure out why.

In the end, the culprit looked a little bit like this:

element.setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml','class','thenameofaclass');

Opera 10.5 pre-alpha

border-radius, presto, css transitions, dragonfly ...

There's a fair few blog posts floating around mentioning all the new features in the leaked Opera 10.5 pre-alpha build, but to be honest nothing mentioned is anything I was hugely interested in myself. I felt they were leaving out a lot of standards support related stuff that would (I expect) be in a new Presto 2.5 engine with Vega and hardware acceleration. So I had a look to see what stuff beyond fancy Windows 7 frills and per-tab private browsing it had to offer.
