Forcing IE7 display in IE8 (updated)

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 by Jonathan Shroyer

I have been developing for IE8 since it was first released. Although they say it’s a final build, it’s actually in a late beta stage. There are several key CSS commands that haven’t been completed yet (such as :first-letter) and some calculations that still aren’t right in the browser.

Hacks are just bad practice, so what can you do? There is a better way! I came up with a neat little piece of code that has greatly simplified my life when dealing with cross-browser compatibility.

A great way to comment your code!

Thursday, December 4th, 2008 by Rafael Corral

Here is something useful that I created.

If I develop a site and need to output data for debugging, I will have to constantly print arrays.
At some point during coding, I’ll have to comment some code out with the good ‘ol forward slashes ‘//

So I came up with this: (more…)
