CDN, Relative URLs and local testing
Of course I use this CDN refs to jquery and jquery-ui for my (new) sites, with fallbacks to local versions:

When working with the Play Framework, you have the choice to run develop your CSS in LESS, for which it has build-in support, or Sass, for which you'll have to install a plugin.
Just like last year, this post is an reduced version of the talk by the inimitable Lea Verou with inline demo's. It's based on the video recording of her talk and her slides.
Sometimes you find yourself in a situation where you need to use a new version of jQuery but the project already uses an older version and you're not at liberty to just update it. It's possible to use multiple versions of jQuery in the same document.
Yesterday, I attended a training on Sass and Compass by Roy Tomeij organised by Fronteers. Sass is a CSS meta language and compiles to CSS, to make it easier to maintain than CSS yet still usable in the same browsers.
This article discusses some experimental browser features from several talks at Fronteers 2011. Since these are experimental features it doesn't work predictably across all browsers. Try Firefox 10+ or Chrome 17+ to see it the way I intended it to work.
This is the first in - what I hope will be - a series of articles on the useful information I received from visiting the Fronteers 2011 conference in Amsterdam last October. Like my articles of last year's conference, I will not give a talk-by-talk summary, but rather pick out the subjects that interest me most and expand on those subjects, while referring to the original talks to give credits due.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: This is the life! Struggling for days with some obscure IE bug!
Ahhh, this is the life: struggling for days with some obscure IE bug.
I have an onchange attribute with a jQuery AJAX call on a HTML dropdown that gives strange errors. But only in IE (8, didn't try it in other versions). When replacing the AJAX call with an alert, like so:
<select onchange="alert('onchange');">...</select>
it becomes clear that the onchange is triggered twice. This was also confirmed in the IE Developer Tools window, but I can't use that to debug further.
Before I dive into some spectacular features of CSS3, let me say something about CSS attributes.
