Browser compatibility issues is really troublesome. It’s quite a pain in the ass to cater for the technical differences of Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
One of the issues you may have come across is :hover pseudo-class. The hover pseudo is used normally when creating rollover effects in css. Annoyingly, you must have noticed that :hover works only with mozilla but not with IE!!!
An easy and quick solution to this problem (without really understanding it) is to follow the steps below
- Download this file and save it in your web directory/folder
- Insert this line in your css file / header
body{
behavior: url(csshover.htc);
} - That’s it
Note: behavior allows elements to behave in a desired manner by attaching *.hta and *.htc files to them

I installed Aptana as a plug-in for Eclipse a few days ago. And, i must say, that’s absolutely fantastic. It fascinated me so much that i uninstalled Dreamweaver…lol
- It’s open source and obviously it’s free.
- Aptana is a robust, JavaScript-focused IDE for building dynamic web applications. ( You can easily create marvellous Joomla Templates by combining the various Javascript Frameworks available in the package)
- Code Assist on JavaScript, HTML, and CSS languages, including your own JavaScript functions.
- Outliner that gives a snapshot view of your JavaScript, HTML, and CSS code structure
- JavaScript debugger to troubleshoot your code
- Error and warning notification for your code
- Support for Aptana UI customization and extensions
- Toggle between Aptana and Default Eclipse Perspectives.
- Eclipse is the BEST IDE!!!
Web development is too much fun!!! In a lapse of 2 month, i’ve learned a lot of stuffs. Here are some of them
- OpenLazlo
- Joomla
- Oscommerce
- dbDesigner
- phpList
- phpDocumenter
- WAMP
- Dojo toolkit
Install this firefox extension for debugging and testing your web applications. FireBug is another add-on that allows developers to edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.
Well, the web keeps on changing so does its technologies. So, i guess that i won’t stop learning new things 
Wish me Luck!!!
Ever heard of Spock?
Well, it is search engine for people!!! There has been quite a buzz about it lately. It is still in beta version but it has already began to spread its popularity on the web with its rich feature set and social aspects.
There are four things that makes their approach special:
- The person-centric perspective of a query
- Rich set of attributes that characterize people (geography, birthday, occupation, etc.)
- Usage of tags as links or relationships between people (friend, foe, son, daughter,etc.)
- Self-correcting mechanism via user feedback loop
My Spock Profile:
By the way, the co-founders of spock are Jaideep Singh and Jay Bhatti. Take a look at their profiles…
I personally think that this search engine is the future. Just Imagine how valuable information could be obtained. Just Imagine. A new dimension to the internet….Lovely…
Currently, spock.com has a google rank of 5…It is just a matter of time that it will attain level 10!!!
What next ?
We could be witnessing a Google vs Spock!!!!
There are lots of differences about the functioning of these two. For example, when Google looks at a web page, it doesn’t care what the document is about. All it cares about is whether the document has the relevant keyword that you’ve searched for. When Spock builds up a search, it has to care about whether it’s about a person, and, if it is a person, what’s relevant, and what are all the keywords about that person. So the technology and the algorithms for what we do are totally different from Google’s.
Let’s wait n watch…
