My parents have been having an issue with the internet at their place for a while now. I’ve just had a chance to look at it and it is quite suspicious.
Randomly when a Google search was performed, when you clicked the links you would be redirected to sites that you were not expecting, primarily parked [...]

Peekaboo Internet Explorer 7

February 13, 2009Matt 3 Comments »

I posted yesterday regarding a problem I was having with Internet Explorer 7 rendering some JavaScript controlled pop ups incorrectly in one of my current projects.
I ended up fixing it by applying a position: relative; and z-index: 100; to each <p> tag. Nothing below 100 would display the text.
It turns out its a variant of [...]

I’m working on a project at the moment where I’ve come up against a rather frustrating problem in Internet Explorer. I have a series of pop ups on a particular page that are opened with JavaScript when help links are clicked. The JavaScript for them [...]

August 1, 2008Matt 2 Comments »

I received a completely unexpected present from a good friend of mine a couple of months ago, a new Palm Treo 750 running Windows Mobile 6.

Yay a step forward for Internet Explorer finally. According to the Internet Explorer development blog, IE8 now correctly renders the Acid 2 face!
This is great to see! For anyone that doesn’t know what the Acid 2 test is, it is a web standards test that was designed by the Web Standards Project that is intended [...]

December 9, 2007Matt No Comments »

I have seen this ad a few times now come through Google Adsense and I find it really quite amusing.
I don’t know who would click on it, but I suppose someone somewhere must be or what would be the point of it?

And the body text is:

November 16, 2007Matt No Comments »

Yesterday I spent a good many hours working on changes to a client’s website that had to be completed by this morning. What should have been only a couple of hours of work ended up actually being 14 hours of work. The thing that took the longest ended up being a series of Javascript mouseovers [...]
