How to Create a Contact Form using HTML5, CSS3 and PHP | Tangled in Design Personally, I feel it is important to be aware of the [positive] impact HTML5 will have on forms and the way they will function in years to come. Realistically, we can’t implement all of the new features today, but you don’t want to be lagging behind the rest of the industry when these features finally become widely supported. Having said that, this tutorial will be focusing on the new HTML5 features that are already supported by all the major browsers, or that at least employ graceful degradation for the browsers that are still trying to play catch up. 1. First of all, this is not a Photoshop tutorial. 2. Now we have a design to work towards, we’re going to form the structure of the contact form using HTML5. Doctype Okay, now we’ve got our blank PHP document, let’s start with the appropriate doctype, which is a lot simpler in HTML5 than previous versions to say the least! <! Yep, that’s right. Just to compare, here’s the doctype for XHTML; <! I get the feeling we have a clear winner here?

Don’t use ID selectors in CSS | screwlewse.com Posted on: July 28, 2010 / Lately I have been testing out performance among css styles and I found that some of my very smart friends, started asking,”why aren’t you testing using IDs for the unique sections of the page?”. This wasn’t a hard answer: The element is not re-usable on that page.This is the begining of a downward sprial into specificityUsually, IDs refer to something very specific, and abstracting would be toughAny performance gains picked up by using id, is negated by adding any other selector to the left fo that id Lets delve into each of these issues at more length The element is not re-usable on that page: IDs are programmer’s equivalent to singletons. This is the beginning of a downward spiral into specificty: There are two main ways of overriding in css. The cascade: (anything further down the css, can overwrite the previous css rules)Specificity: the idea of creating weight by using weighted selectors. Above is real code from one of my own work from 2005. On the other hand:

Opera mobile window chooser, recreated with jQuery It’s always fun to play with jQuery especially when you are trying to recreate something that you enjoy using. One such thing is window chooser in Opera Mobile browser where opened windows are positioned below each other and only a portion of each window is visible. The one on the top is current window that is fully visible. Clicking on those windows is followed by some nice effect. View demo Our “windows” are nothing more than simple unordered list. On the very beginning we define how much each window will be hidden and how much it will slide to the left and right. var itemWidth = $("#container li").width(); // hide 50% of each window var itemPosition = itemWidth * 50 / 100; // slide each window 60% if its width var itemMove = itemWidth * 60 / 100; // move windows below each other and assign ID to each $("#container li").each(function(i) { $(this).attr("id", i).css("z-index", 100 - i).css("left", itemPosition * i); }); Now the main part. Here’s how we slide windows to the right.
