I just want to post a message about how clever I find this password input. I can thank Reddit for originally bringing this to my attention. I hope to implement this on my next project. If you decide to do the same, please give some credit back to the source site.

Horizontal Scroll

August 7, 2009

For some reason I haven’t seen many examples of a horizontal scrolling div. These are commonly used for image slideshows (we have a number of photography clients).

CSS:
div {
width:380px;
height:80px;
padding: 15px 0 30px 0;
overflow-x:auto;
white-space:nowrap;
}

By default, img tags are display:inline, so you need only something like this:
<div>
  <img />
  <img />
  <img />
</div>



Good news! (with a hitch)

Firefox 3 was officially released! I was in Honduras and installing that was one of the first things I did upon booting the computer… then downloaded Coldplay from Amazon.

So it’s wonderful not dealing with the memory problem anymore and the speed increase. My work computer would barf every time I tried to browse whilst running Photoshop CS3. I miss some of my add-ons, but they’ll update eventually I’m sure. Thankfully my favorite and most glorious add-on updated immediately after the release.

The aforementioned hitch is that Firefox 3 is more compliant with W3C standards and that despite my reputation I am not as compliant apparently. Minor as they may be, I stumbled upon some inconsistencies. Just another browser I have to double check before sending a page for review.

Hopefully I figure out what the difference is and report back. The only thing I’ve seen is a div that didn’t have a defined width decided to wrap the left floated images it contained, whereas FF2 did not.
