(cross-posted from the official Prototype blog)I'm very happy to announce a new addition to the Prototype bookshelf: core committer Andrew Dupont's Practical Prototype and script.aculo.us published by Apress.Obviously, Practical Prototype and script.aculo.us covers all you need to know about the latest versions of Prototype and script.aculo.us. But it goes well beyond that. Andrew does an awesome job at setting the context and giving appropriate background information, so much so that you'll end up knowing not only the how but also the why. In the ruthless world of client-side development, that's serious asset!Practical Prototype and script.aculo.us is a pleasure to read - the style is bo...

When you create a font stack, you are creating a fallback system for your customers. If they don't have the first font, the page will display with the second, and so on. But most designers don't test their pages looking at the alternate fonts, and this can cause problems with some designs. The challenge is that it can be tedious to view and remove all your fonts one at a time to do testing on them. And there aren't a lot of alternatives to doing that. But this script can help. The Font-Stack-Tester scans your CSS and puts an overlay on the page to allow you to remove the fonts manually. It's still in beta stages, and eventually it will be a bookmarklet, but right now it's pretty neat if y...

La propriété CSS3 border-radius permet de faire des coins arrondis pour rendre nos pages web plus jolies à regarder. Tous les navigateurs ne prennent pas en charge la propriété CSS3 border-radius : les agents utilisateurs carburant au moteur de rendu Webkit (Chrome, Safari, iPhone, Android) utilisent -webkit-border-radius et ceux qui tournent sur Gecko (Firefox, Camino) utilisent -moz-border-radius. Quant à Internet Explorer, on peut garder l’espoir qu’avec IE9 ont verra un peu de lumière au bout du tunnel… Pour assurer une compatibilité maximum, il faut utiliser plein de déclarations CSS redondantes et c’est fastidieux. Heureusement, jacob bijani (Directeur de la ...

MooTools More features a diverse, powerful collection of Classes (60 plugins!!) and some are my favorite tools that I use over and over again. I thought I’d take some time to dig into some of the plugins in MooTools More that I think are interesting and really useful that maybe you haven’t had time to really sink your teeth into (or, perhaps, you haven’t found a reason to). So I’m going to take some time to talk about some of the plugins in More each month, sharing not only how they work, but how they work together and maybe even why you’d use them. Today I’m going to talk about the Form.Request plugin.Request and Request.HTMLMooTools Core ships with th...

You're working on getting a new script finished to replace the one that is breaking in IE 8, when the designer comes asking you to move the navigation bar back from where he had you move it yesterday. Or you've finished your user testing and realized that the change you made to the navigation bar design is affecting the content lower down, but when you ask the developer to move it, she says "no" and goes back to fiddling with her code, ignoring you. Whichever person you identify with more, both situations can be really annoying. But while Web developers can seem negative and Web designers wishy-washy, you still have to work with them.
