Yet again, IE 6 CSS is on my plate today at work. Drop-down menus specifically. Always interested in getting my work done in the least amount of effort I hit the Internet up for a better IE 6 fix all.
My expectations were low, but behold! I came across this gem from Peter Nederlof appropriately named Whatever:hover.
The biggest problem with IE 6 is that it doesn't support the :hover selector for anything other than an anchor. What this fix does is this: ( quoted from the site)
I implemented this expecting to have to do at least some customization, but again, I was pleasantly surprised that it just worked! A big thanks to Peter for making web developers' lives a little easier.
I learned a CSS trick today - centering an absolutely positioned div. It is quite simple, really. Set top to 50% and set the left-margin to a negative value of half of it's width.
For example:
#centered_div {
position: absolute;
width:500px;
top: 0;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -250px;
}
Cleverly simple.
Dan, this one is for you.
You know that outline on href's you see when you click the link? I used to get rid of that with an "onclick=blur()". Well, I just found a way easier method.
a { outline: none; }
And I call myself a web developer. How did I not know this?
