Closing the gap in IE

January 9th, 2008
closing-the-gap-in-ie

A long-standing bug in Internet Explorer is the gaps it likes to insert between list items that contain block level elements, if there is any whitespace between the list items in the markup. You have probably seen it in action more times than you want to.

the release version of IE 7 still suffers from it

This bug was thought to have been fixed in IE 7 RC 1, and perhaps it was. That doesn’t really matter since the release version of IE 7 still suffers from it in certain circumstances. Just in case you’re looking for something that will fix this problem in both IE 6 and IE 7, I wanted to share this piece of knowledge. I originally thought this would soon be obsolete, but unfortunately that does not seem to be the case.

There are several different ways to skin this cat, but I found this the simplest to implement.

Assigning a width to the links. Like this:

li {
width:200px;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;}

*If you do this make sure to have a set width on your surrounding element.

I’ve found that this works in both IE 6 & IE.

Is it a bird is it a plane… no its HTML 5

December 14th, 2007

The web is constantly evolving. New and innovative websites are being created every day, pushing the boundaries of HTML in every direction. HTML 4 has been around for nearly a decade now, and publishers seeking new techniques to provide enhanced functionality are being held back by the constraints of the language and browsers.

To give authors more flexibility and interoperability, and enable more interactive and exciting websites and applications, HTML 5 introduces and enhances a wide range of features including form controls, APIs, multimedia, structure, and semantics.

Work on HTML 5, which commenced in 2004, is currently being carried out in a joint effort between the W3C HTML WG and the WHATWG. Many key players are participating in the W3C effort including representatives from the four major browser vendors: Apple, Mozilla, Opera, and Microsoft; and a range of other organisations and individuals with many diverse interests and expertise.

Our new website is live!

Your own work is always put at the bottom of the list, but our new website is live!

The new website is aimed at really demonstrating the type of company that we are and the work that we do. Our previous website was incredibly successful, so we wanted to take what we leant from our old website, and re-develop it, taking on board what our clients have been telling us.
