I want my @media all and (min-speed: ~1Mbps) {}

Posted on April 24, 2013 by Jenski

Not kidding.. Was just reading about legislators playing catchup on cookies (ET-Tags anyone?) and then reading another article about FOUT and using lazyload cookies to cater for those instances..

So serving ‘low bandwidth’ styles for retina displays whilst conforming to the 3rd party cookie-law

Yo mr. browser vendor, give me my bandwidth-speed detection please. And someone please send those guys up the hill an postcard with some greetings from the present, and politely tell ‘em those cookies are a bit stale.

WAMP pro-tip

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Jenski

So for developing WordPress site locally I’ve been using WAMP over XAMP for a while now. I prefer WAMP because it just starts all services without any hassle. With XAMP there’s a few extra clicks involved. That’s all really, I mean they both work just fine for me. But recently changing to “pretty url’s” somehow stopped working. Now instead of digging through lines of code in the httpd.conf -ig file for the mod-rewrite switch with WAMP you can just:

click on the WAMP icon and go to > Apache > Apache Modules > Rewrite_module

and make sure it’s ticked on. Thats all. As to how it got switched off tho.. I’m totally clueless.

Fresh test tool from ie

Posted on February 1, 2013 by Jenski

M$ just released a new testing tool for your websites over @ modern.ie

Dunno what is has to do with IrEland tho but I just gave it a spin, and I really like the vendor prefix test it has. It also tests for framework versions which is nice but be carefull with just upgrading your js framework since these sometimes drop or rename fuctions that some of your code may be dependant on.

Another nice feature is the BrowserStack test, but that one doesn’t quite come free. But some googlefu will get you there.

Bootleggin’ part 2

Posted on December 28, 2012 by Jenski

All Ride kwam op een zondag avond laat wat nummertjes spelen, dus ik zelf was er niet bij. Maar ik heb wel m’n hand weten te leggen op de stiekeme opname, waarvan nu het resultaat te downen is op de bootleg pagina.

CSS Specificity

Posted on December 8, 2012 by Jenski

So #id’s should always override .classes right? Well apparently until you go beyond 255 classes it won’t!

Check out Cris Coyier’s example over at codepen:

With or without

~~yooouuuuu~~ padding + margin + borders. In other words how to adjust your box-model to include ‘em. But you already knew that didn’t didn’t you.

*, *:after, *:before {
    box-sizing: border-box; /* or content-box or inherit */
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}

So how about support:

Chrome (any): box-sizing
Opera 8.5+: box-sizing
Firefox : -moz-box-sizing (unprefixed since ??)
Safari 3: -webkit-box-sizing (unprefixed in 5.1+ versions)
IE8+: box-sizing

And then there’s padding-box which is just weird (inset/outset on borders!..) and FF only so you can forget that. And, one more thing, there’s the min/max-height thingy. But you can checkout this excellent jsFiddle on that.

The auto F5-er

Posted on November 2, 2012 by Jenski

When you’re in the CSS-zone hitting F5 and praying for a refresh can be a real drag. Well someone finally did some ajaxification for that one. So grab your copy here: http://cssrefresh.frebsite.nl/

CORS

Posted on October 29, 2012 by Jenski

from the 'stuff you ought to know' dept:

Cross Origin Resource Sharing. So browsers these day’s raise red flags when content is fetched from different places (think API’s), and rightfully so. Still, adding stuff like a twitter feed is a common request by clients these day’s so how to circumvent those red flags. Well that’s what C.O.R.S. is supposed to do, so go read up on the matter:

http://enable-cors.org/

and an excellent tutorial: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/cors/

web fonts

Posted on October 24, 2012 by Jenski

By now everybody’s heard of google’s webfonts. But what I’ve seemed to missed tho was that adobe is doing the same thing these day’s.

So go get ‘em all @: http://html.adobe.com/edge/webfonts/

Responsive zen state

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Jenski

The rounding of percentages in to pixels generally creates hell for responsive layouts in pretty much all browsers. So this guy has an interesting attack vector for getting into that much desired zen like state. So meditate on this piece by John Albin Wilkins.
