Tom's Hardware has been one of my favorite sites for years. The folks there carried a Grand Prix for 2010 browsers, obviously comparing all major browsers with one thing in mind: PERFORMANCE. An amazing comparison:  http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/firefox-chrome-opera,2558.html

Handling both Firefox 2 and 3 in your CSS files sometimes turns into a tough job.

This nifty little hack does the job:

/* Firefox 2 stuff */
.foo {
  background-color: #fff;
}
/* Firefox 3 stuff */
html>/**/body .foo {
  background-color: #000;
}

And guess what? This block of CSS validates fine on W3.

This will give you some very good idea about how Microsoft implements Web Standards: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx is Internet Explorer 7.0 Home Page.

First of all, this could be really a useful link for web developers: MSDN page about IE 7 compatibility. I quickly read the above article and then re-read MSDN page about IE 6 compatibility and felt like I need to comment on some points:

This could be very strange but it's tested: When styling Arabic text, setting the text-transform to "capitalize" using the selector "first-letter" will break the first letter and draw it separated from the rest of the word which doesn't happen to the same text using text-transform without the selector. Try it if you're interested and let me know what you think. I personally believe it's a wrong application of the capital letters in Arabic, where the separate letter is considered a capital one, I recall the early days of Office applications doing this.

Hi People, It's now a week or something since the release of the rivals: Internet Explorer and Firefox. The death match continues with both browser vendors throwing the latest master pieces from their forges. I took a sort of good tour with both browsers: Firefox 2.0 on my SuSE Linux 10.1 over the flagship KDE 3.5.5, and Internet Explorer 7.0 on Windows XP Service Pack 2 (and that's forced from Microsoft).

Finally, I had the opportunity to introduce some quick intro about the web and some of my concerns, ideas and knowledge to audience of a seminar held at OpenCraft's head quarters.
The atmosphere was, as usual, very friendly and very nice. For those who attended and those whom I was unlucky not to meet I post the seminar summary.

Web Standards Seminar

A month ago, I was working on some AJAX stuff on vTiger. I was generating some form elements with JavaScript with appendChild() function. The elements appeared fine but when testing the form with some data and submitting, the generated form fields passed on data on neither POST nor GET. The problem was with Firefox, Opera and Konquerer but not on Internet Explorer!! After doing some checks and re-building the whole thing I found out it's a problem with nesting page elements, for example when you put start a FORM tag inside a DIV then you close the DIV then finally close the tag.
