The PNG Transparency Trap
Yesterday’s featured tutorial on Ajaxian.com was titled: Hacking transparent PNG support into IE6 with IE PNG Fix, CSS and jQuery by Brian Dillard. I wonder how this tutorial got onto Ajaxian as the topic is so much out of date. Ajaxian has always been a place of inspiration and a pit stop for the latest [...]
Oops, stripped too early!
I’m sure no one noticed but Yelotofu got naked for about 1 hour today because the CSS Naked Day plugin I had installed last year thought today was the day to strip off! Well, this years’ CSS Naked Day will be held on the 9th of April. This time Yelotofu will be getting butt naked [...]
IE8: Microsoft is listening
Wow, Microsoft actually listened to the out pour of the developer community with regards to IE8′s version targeting feature. IE8′s Standards Mode will now be the default: In light of the Interoperability Principles, as well as feedback from the community, we’re choosing differently.

This article takes you through an example of how the button element was used to deliver buttons that look exactly the same across all major browsers, including Safari 2. If you’re still using the input element for buttons then I’d recommend reading [...]
Form Layout using Definition Lists
As you may well know, using a definition list (DL) to layout forms with labels and fields side-by-side could be a bit flaky at times; forms don’t seem to scale nicely and numerous layout problems could occur with dynamic content. Typical pitfalls are situations where a label or field takes up two or more lines [...]
CSS Naked Day
In an effort to promote Web Standards, Yelotofu will be stripping off on April 5th for CSS Naked Day. There will be no CSS, no design, no supflourious layouts on this site to distract you from the content.To find out more take a look at the official CSS Naked Day ’07 site. Come on, join [...]
What are Microformats?
To start with, here’s my stab at a Microformats definition:”Microformats are bits of code you add to your XHTML markup to define a piece of text and by doing so you make that bit of text semantic.” As you could see it doesn’t make much sense to the average punter. When I first looked into [...]
