I’m working on a project where I’m using CSS to add a border radius and background image to an input field. Background images are supported by all browsers, but border radius is only supported by Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome.

Vertical Text with CSS
CSSI’m working on a new JQuery Plugin that requires the text to be vertical. This can easily be accomplished using CSS, but I found that the vertical text may appear differently in each browser depending upon the element that is used. I was able to display the text vertically in Firefox, IE8 (and IE7), Google Chrome and Safari. I looked at Opera’s CSS support and it doesn’t appear to support vertical text.
Remove Selection Border Around Image in Firefox

Dojo vs JQuery, Part 1
Dojo, JQueryAlthough I had created a few code snippets using Scriptaculous/Prototype, Dojo Toolkit was the first Javascript Framework that I really learned. I had read about (and downloaded) it quite a few years before I actually used it. I purchased a couple of books (Mastering Dojo: JavaScript and Ajax Tools for Great Web Experiences (Pragmatic Programmers) and Dojo: The Definitive Guide
) to help me get started. I was working on a project where web pages would be dynamically created. I have to admit, I struggled. Although Dojo is a “Javascript” Framework, learning it was like learning a new language – before the discovery of the Rosetta Stone. While I was able to learn the basics from reading the books and looking at the examples on Dojo’s website, in many cases, I just could not find the documentation to do what I wanted to do (or how I wanted to do it). So I guessed. And guessed again. And continually guessed until, “Eureka!”. No that didn’t work either…
