posAbsolute CSS Framework, website starter kit

Web development companies have a bad habit of doing inconsistent websites depending on which developer coded the website. It is one of the reason we have so much back-end framework. However front-end teams are a bit more in the dark. While there is basic guidelines for CSS and JS, there is generally less management by team leaders. It becomes a big gray zone where inconsistencies often become the norm. This is what this framework aims for, empowering your front-end developers with a tool to make their JS and CSS code more coherent.

Why use a CSS framework

Better quality and coherence coding inside a front-end team
Preset CSS classes, know where your going with highly reusable classes
A collection of some of the best jquery scripts
A solid cross browser…

Tips #3: Use eval() when you receive a json in a string variable

A common problem with ajax requests is that your response comes in a string. And a json in text is not particularly useful.

There is a small trick to restore your json to its original glory: eval( “(“+jsonString+”)”);

There you go!

Opera 10 is live

Opera just launched the final version of Opera 10. The browser comes in 43 languages, and works on Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. You can download from http://www.opera.com/browser.

I need to say, I really like the new UI feel.

New features:
* Opera Turbo, a new compression technology that solves the pain of slow connections.
* A brand new interface by Mr. Jon Hicks!
* Better tabs handling.
* Check ur spelling: Built-in spell checker! :yes:
* A brand new icon.
* Better e-mail with a better e-mail client.
* And much, much more. Check out http://www.opera.com/browser for more information.

Browser Plus, Yahoo attempts to make the web better

Yahoo recently launched Browser Plus, this little plug-in enables web developers to extend some functionality of browsers, like drag and drop from desktop, image cropping, multiple files upload, use of the accelerometer with laptops and more.

Unfortunately this add-on needs to be installed like the regretful Yahoo bar but it’s compatible with mostly all browsers out there.

I am really not sure where Yahoo is going with this. The plug-in is open source, but is not supposed to be a transitory plug-in to HTML5 like Google gears. Personally I have an aversion towards Yahoo since the Yahoo browser bar that I consider like a malware because of all the times I installed it without noticing it..
