50 New Useful CSS Techniques, Tutorials and Tools
These are great times for front-end developers. After months of exaggerated excitement about HTML5 and CSS3, the web design community now starts coming up with CSS techniques that actually put newly available technologies to practical use instead of abusing them for pure aesthetic purposes. We see fewer “pure CSS images” and more advanced, clever CSS techniques that can actually improve the Web browsing experience of users. And that’s a good thing!
In this post we present recently released CSS techniques, tutorials and tools for you to use and enhance your workflow, thus improving your skills. Please don’t hesitate to comment on this post and let us know how exactly you are using them in your workflow. However, please avoid link dropping, but share your insights and your experience instead. Also, notice that some techniques are not only CSS-based, but use JavaScript, or JavaScript-libraries as well.

Faster Web Pages Using CSS/JavaScript Minification and Consolidation: ASP Alliance
Faster Web Pages Using CSS/JavaScript Minification and Consolidation: ASP Alliance
Abstract
About 70-90% of the time spent waiting for a page on the average web site is actually due to the number of HTTP requests required for images, JavaScript, and CSS files! A key step in improving load times is reducing the number of these requests. Another is reducing the amount of information that has to be transmitted. This article explains how to minify and consolidate CSS and JavaScript files.

IE9 Beta release - MS Event
Recently - 19 Sep 2010, I attended at Microsoft event dedicated to IE9 Beta release. The meeting was at Raanana's customer center of Microsoft Israel.
The primary discussion points were:
- IE8 usage and changes in comparison to IE6 and IE7
- JavaScript changes and compatibility issues
- cross domain requests and AJAX
- IE9 improvements and standard compliance
- HTML5
The presenters were Noam King and Moshe Goldberg from SELA Group. Noam introduced the meeting agenda, where Moshe dedicated almost all the time to differences between IE8 and previous version of browser.
The presentation was done in IE9 and present auditory was able to feel the spirit of IE9. There were few funny moments. The IE9 non actually friendly to Visual studio developer and required multiple refreshes to actually see the content. Some MS sites not actually working with IE9. The presenters (MS related guys) always refer to Google search engine - not BING.
Certainly the IE9 has a future but for now it's beta and we understand the glitches ...
The code and presentation files are available from this page.

Highslide JS
Highslide JS is an open source image, media and gallery viewer written in JavaScript. These are some of its advantages:
- Quick and elegant looking.
- No plugins like Flash or Java required.
- Popup blockers are no problem. The content opens within the active browser window.
- Single click. After opening the image or HTML popup, the user can scroll further down or leave the page without closing it.
- Lots of configuration options and scalability without compromizing on simplicity. A component system lets you strip away unused features down to a filesize of 10kB.
- Outstanding, unconditional and free user support for both commercial and non-commercial users.
- Compatibility and safe degrading. If the user has disabled JavaScript or is using an old browser, the browser redirects directly to the image itself or to a given HTML page.

ELMAH (Error Logging Modules and Handlers)
ELMAH (Error Logging Modules and Handlers) is an application-wide error logging facility that is completely pluggable. It can be dynamically added to a running ASP.NET web application, or even all ASP.NET web applications on a machine, without any need for re-compilation or re-deployment.
Once ELMAH has been dropped into a running web application and configured appropriately, you get the following facilities without changing a single line of your code:
- Logging of nearly all unhandled exceptions.
- A web page to remotely view the entire log of recoded exceptions.
- A web page to remotely view the full details of any one logged exception.
- In many cases, you can review the original yellow screen of death that ASP.NET generated for a given exception, even with customErrors mode turned off.
- An e-mail notification of each error at the time it occurs.
- An RSS feed of the last 15 errors from the log.

CSS position modificator
Summary and definition for CSS position modificator:
static - HTML elements are positioned static by default. A static positioned element is always positioned according to the normal flow of the page. Static positioned elements are not affected by the top, bottom, left, and right properties.
fixed - the position is relative to browser window, it will not move ever the window scrolled. The content of a relatively positioned elements can be moved and overlap other elements, but the reserved space for the element is still preserved in the normal flow.
relative - A relative positioned element is positioned relative to its normal position
absolute - An absolute position element is positioned relative to the first parent element that has a position other than static. If no such element is found, the containing block is <html>. Absolutely positioned elements are removed from the normal flow. The document and other elements behave like the absolutely positioned element does not exist. Absolutely positioned elements can overlap other elements.
