IE, Forms, Image Submit Buttons = Bad Mojo

Chris Cummings    HTML, Internet Explorer    

Been a while, huh?  Yeah well, you know…

Found out IE submits funky stuff for the value of a form button that is an image.  Better to slap a hidden field in your form.  More info here http://ednailor.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/problems-using-an-image-for-submit-button-in-ie/

So, yeah, that’s all.  Short but helpful?  I hope so.

CSS3: The Wonder Years

admin    CSS, Internet Explorer, Javascript, Web Design    

If you build websites, CSS3 is slap-awesome.  Rounded corners, gradients, transparencies, drop shadows…oh my!

As we know though the good ol’ “red headed step child yet still mamas favorite”, Internet Explorer doesn’t do these things.  Well, correction, IE9, which has recently dropped, does do some of the cool new stuff.  But as of right now a lot of IE users are still on 7 or 8…some even on 6 (Egads!)

If you are building with IE in mind and want all those cool roundy boxes and droppy shadows, here are a couple of links that will help you  get those on IE:
