Twitter API

Twitter API

Was checking out the twitter api, and theres a bunch of neat little features you can use in all your blogs or templates etc.. If i write @imanto <-- this will link to my twitter page, and show a hover card. Will give a little information about my twitter etc.. If you hover over that you can see it for yourself.

Theres a bunch of other ones you can check out at the dev twitter page, go have a look and maybe use them on your own site =)

Firefox Quirks Mode

Firefox quirks mode…

I posted a a bit back just testing out a hover on a full div on all browsers, and i seen that firefox didn’t work, because i didn’t specify a doctype, therefore firefox doesn’t do as you ask. I didn’t want to go and google this, i wanted people to drop comments to get a bit of conversation going, and sure enough, a guy called Steven Weathers droped a comment telling me about quirks mode. Cheers mate.

Browsers

I hate browsers.

There is so many browsers out there, but for people that code, html/css etc for styling, everything comes out different, and with all the new browsers updating etc, people don’t keep them up to date, so you sometimes have to compensate for the people who are lazy and wont update, i don’t see why they don’t just update and keep it at the latest version, boggles the mind.

In this screencast, ive got the latest brorwsers, chrome and firefox, yet a simple hover effect wont work in firefox.. Hover on a div, any coders out there wanna tell me why?
