Drew — Sat, 26 Aug 2006 01:46:36 +0000

According to Google, Google Site-Flavored's search delivers web search results that are customized to individual websites. The only problem with the output of their code is messy, very messy. Let's fix this and make it more standards compliant. I will always hold Google's algorithms and services very high. They offer many free searches and services that, by far, out-do other companies; not to mention that they have created standards that have brought other companies (Microsoft and Yahoo! to Read More »

XFrames: XHTML Frames?

Drew — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 02:34:16 +0000

A friend of mine was telling me how much he just, loves IFrames. So much, that an article I wrote earlier in my life still hasn't persuaded him to change his mind. For people like him, I have written an article just for you! Seems like the W3C has a heart for you; XFrames, the possible new frames for the upcoming XHTML 2.0. NOTE: XFrames is a part of a working draft and is still under development of this writing. So all examples will NOT work on a browser. Article was originally written in Read More »

XHTML and Stylesheets

Drew — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 01:55:57 +0000

The web is changing. The web is actually changing everyday; different languages, algorithms, concepts, and ideas. It seemed as if, after learning HTML, I started hearing rumors of XHTML. Introduction to XHTML XHTML (eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language) is the redefinition in XML of HTML defined in SGML. XHTML 1.0 became a W3C Recommendation on January 26th, 2000 as the redefinition of HTML 4.0/4.01. XHTML has a high affinity with both HTML and XML, and is expected to be the description Read More »

CSS Hack: Hide from IE

Drew — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 07:33:36 +0000

As I have been designing small-based, bear-minimum CSS design layouts I have just coded and been done with it. The past six months have been a learning experience and have come to love CSS for what it's worth. Sometimes, though, designing gets hedious and I have to use hacks; for today, we aim one at Internet Explorer. Please note: This is yet another older piece of writing of mine. As it still probably holds value, I do try to stay away from CSS hacks, but sometimes, they really do come in Read More »

Styling “Simple” AJAX

Drew — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 03:46:15 +0000

AJAX - "Asynchronous JavaScript + XML". "Not a technology - several technologies". That's probably why I like it so much, its a little bit of everything, to make one thing. Raj over at his website, wrote a short, yet easily understandable way to understand the very basics of AJAX. I liked it so much, that when I tried it out, I truly felt as if I was really getting the hang of it. I strongly suggest that you read his post before reading on with mine. Possibly being able to create my own Read More »
