Today, it was announced that there has been a serious security flaw in IE7. As you all know IE has always has issues with security. Not to mention its lack of css support.
Found first on Slash Dot:
Here is another article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7784908.stm

A list of awesome browsers that are safe:

I found some freebies on the web- browser graphics or elements for wire frames or web design comps.

Here’s the code to link to Google’s jQuery repository. It grabs the latest jquery. Also added before that is the ie7.js script. The idea here is to speed up the load time if the user has already cached this file from another site using the same technique.
You can go here http://code.google.com/p/jqueryjs/downloads/list for the download list and right-click copy-link location.
Coda currently does not have a way to export or save sites like you can using Transmit. But there is a way to save your coda site settings if you need to migrate your site data from one computer to another. You will need to save a file from your preferences folder.
Save the file:
~/Library/Preferences/com.panic.Coda.plist
~/ is your user name root

In my last article I wrote about how to control IE and really take advantage of css.
The web is looking brighter ahead. With the departure of ie6 (eventually), the introduction of advanced css techniques with css3, and full support for transparent pngs, web design will be even more exciting than it has ever been. With a lot of limitations gone, perhaps it will become a ever-more-popular field of study for the next generation of designers.
Enough headaches. IE6 will thankfully be something we will no long have to worry about. With IE6 finally gone we can finally do some cool things with png’s, not to mention make development time for css much more smoother.
I know all of this has been written before, but this post has the best of the best in combating the ie6 and ie7 css issues.
I found an article that explains that this line of code can crash ie6:
< style >*{position:relative}< /style >< table >< input >< /table >
I have not tried this out. But I have one question: What in the hell was this guy doing to discover this? Either some really bad code or his page was fragmented some how.
This lightweight javascript library forces internet explorer 6 to accept a number of css selectors that standards-compliant browser allow.
ICANN voted to allow custom TLD’s ( Top-level Domains). Vista is unrelated, but you get the picture. This happened back in June. Looks like they could cost anywhere from $50,000+ or $100,000+ . Now anyone with enough money and resources can create their own custom domain extension. You can see where this can get very chaotic especially for company branding. This forces companies to register these before cyber-squatters get to them. I just don’t know about this. It’s not like an average person can afford these.
