History.js gracefully supports the HTML5 History/State APIs (pushState, replaceState, onPopState) in all browsers. For HTML4 browsers it will revert back to using the old onhashchange functionality. All major browsers are supported.
This is a simple test page to get started:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test History</title>
...
Note: state url must be provided for IE to generate a unique hash. YOu can prefix the state url with '?' ('#' does not work).

There are 4 positioning styles in CSS: static : this is the default positioning style. Elements are positioned according to the normal flow of the page. fixed : the element position is fixed relative to the browser window, i.e., when you scroll, the element does not move with other contents in the page. relative : the element is positioned relative to its normal position (i.e., static position). You can use relative positioning to offset an element from its normal position. Other elements are positioned as if the relative positioned element were in its normal position. absolute : the element is positioned relative to the first ancestor element that is not static positioned. If all ancestor elements are static positioned, the element is positioned relative to...

In this example I'll add a parameter to a facelets template. The example contains three tabs, each tab points to a different page. The tab control is shared among all pages, therefore, it is put in the template.
Starting from the simple facelet example , make these additions:
Create a new template WEB-INF/templates/tabs.xhtml :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Stric...
Add a page for the about tab ( about.xhtml ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui:comp...
Add a page for the news tab ( news.xhtml ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui:comp...
Add a page for the partner tab ( partner.xhtml ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui:comp...
Build and re-deploy the application. Launch the browser and load page http://localhost:8080/facelet-demo/about.jsf .
This is a screenshot:

This note lists some of the different behaviors I found using different JSF implementations. In the simple JSF facelet example, I used Sun's reference implementation version 2.0.0-RC:
<dependency> <groupId>javax.faces</gro... With this version, the DOCTYPE declaration is dropped when the page is rendered. It doesn't matter what DOCTYPE you declare in your templates, the facelet engine simply drops it. The problem with this is, your page is always displayed in quirks mode , despite your intentions to require standards compliant mode. The DOCTYPE problem is fixed in release 2.0.2-FCS . Change the dependency in pom.xml to: <dependency> <groupId>javax.faces</gro... and test again, you'll find that DOCTYPE is faithfully passed over to the browser (view source at browser). You can delete the DOCTYPE declaration in the xhtml template...

When you run automated Android tests with Eclipse or from the command line, you get text output, which isn't good for reporting purposes. If you run a large set of test cases with automated build, the text report isn't very helpful. Fortunately, Android CTS generates test reports in XML with accompanying XSL to make it look nice in a browser. To run your own tests with Android CTS: Download Android CTS Make a new directory MyRepository under android-cts , alongside the existing repository directory. Copy host_config.xml from repository to MyRepository Create directory plans under MyRepository , add a test plan ( MyTests.xml ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <TestPla... Create directory testcases under MyRepository . Copy TestDeviceSetup.apk from repository/testcases to MyRepository/testcases Under MyRepository/testcases , create a test...

If you think the JavaScript code below is simple, think again. Try it in different browsers and see if you can explain what you see.
What is displayed in the browser window with this HTML page?
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<p>befor...
What is displayed inside the iframe? Try different browsers.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>

With the following code, the body occupies the whole height (100%) of the browser window:
<html>
<head>
<title>100% body height</title...
However, when you add <!doctype html> to the top of the file, the browser renders the page in Full Standards Mode instead of Quirks Mode :
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>100%...
In Full Standards Mode , the body no longer occupies the whole browser height. Why? Because body 's parent is html and the browser does not know the height of html ! Adding a height to html fixes the problem:
html {
height: 100%;
}

I didn't know how hard it was to vertically align something to the middle until I had to do it. An excellent writeup about the various techniques (or should I say hacks?) to achieve this is here: http://blog.themeforest.net/tutorials/vertical-centering-with-css/ Here I present a technique with the help of jQuery. To make it simple, what I'm doing is to display a single line of text in the middle of the page instead of at the top. The markup is made simple because the logic is moved to JavaScript. There are two requirements to make this work: The parent container uses relative positioning jQuery code added to re-position the content with absolute positioning
<!doctype html> <html> <head> <title>Vert... For some reason, the following code did not work although...

If CSS3 border-image is properly supported, making a rounded corner box is very easy. You just need a round corner image like this: The following markup:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" ... would render like this (try it in Firefox 3.5 and Google Chrome): However, IE as of version 8.0 does not support border-image . So until border-image is reliably supported in all major browsers, we still have to rely on tried and true tricks to make it work. In general, I found three general categories of tricks to make rounded corners: Good old tables. This trick creates a table of 9 cells and uses the 8 cells on the perimeter to render the borders and rounded corners. The central cell is used for...
