What are you working on? v6

[jaybuz]

Say you have a tab button with a set width. Do you guys prefer the whole tab to be a link or just the text within?

[BrettJay]

Generally I'd say the whole tab, for starters, it makes it just a bit easier to click which is in itself an accessibility implication. A tab is also a familiar and conventional UI element, people often expect the entire tab itself to be what they're clicking rather than having to specifically click the text, because a tab is a visual metaphor for bringing its panel to the foreground. Desktop interfaces have long since instilled the notion of being able to click anywhere on a tab to bring its contents to focus.

[jaybuz]

Thanks for that great explanation, Brett. It sounds about right.

I've made some good progress today on the HTML. now I need nick to do stuff.

[swift and shift]

added validations and life-cycle hooks to my PHP orm thing, so I can write code like this in the model:

and like this in the 'controller':

and like this in the view:

and get something like this:

that `"confirmation" => true` in the password validations basically tells my orm-thing to use the ConfirmationValidator class to validate the field.

you can write your own validators like so:

and voilà

Those inwards facing corners are annoying! Is it possible to clip an elements content area like that without using images?

[russelg]

I use [url=http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/slantastic/demo.html]this[/url] to achieve corners like that.

I have no idea why you were trying to do it like that. 3 divs and I've fixed it.

I'm not liking Droid Sans as a header font. It looks really jaggy in the browser. :(

[Fatal-Error]

what about the ubuntu font?

[jaybuz]

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;33363218]what about the ubuntu font?[/QUOTE]

I'm already using Droid Sans in the nav so I don't really want to have to include two fonts, because it's going to effect page speed. I'll have to go with a web-safe font.

[jaybuz]

Just checking the position of the scrollbar from the top when scrolling and then when it gets close to the element it applies some CSS:

position: fixed; top: 30px;

Make sure you're using the newest version of GA, then click the Home button in the main nav and you should see a Real Time beta dropdown on the left if you're in the beta.

Haven't seen the other one before, but it should be useful for work.

Hi guys,

I need to remove duplicate letters from a string.

For example:

string => string

spitfire => spitfre

I am currently doing it like this:

$string = str_split($string);
$taken = array();
foreach( $string as $i => $char)
{
    if(isset($taken[$char]))
    {
        unset($string[$i]);
    }
    $taken[$char] = true;
}
$string = implode($taken);

It is just that it is called over 50,000 times every script run so if someone could improve it I would be very appreciative.

[QUOTE=spidersdesign;33374491]Hi guys,

$string = implode(array_unique(str_split($string)));

Wouldn't this work? :v:

Neat, I can't wait until it's rolled out to me!

[Murk]

Live Google Analytics just as I was starting to think about how I'd see some live stats that weren't just server-status and not bound to another service as well? Nice timing.

It's just a shame that it still trims the video hash for youtube referrals. I know everything after the question mark is removed for privacy reasons, but they could add exceptions for youtube since it's their service.

I'm really not keen on OSX's font anti aliasing. It looks a bit fat and a little bit blurry. I guess I'm just so used to Windows but I really do think it has a good blend of sharpness and AA.

Opinions?

[TehWhale]

I think it's better than Windows'

I like the font smoothing, I don't know if that is what you are referring to.

[bbang]

I like safari's AA.

Wait, does it matter if safari is on win or osx?

It's not blurry for me at all, its way clearer and sharper imo

I've been learning XHTML and CSS the past week or so. I've had my share at programming(Java), and I can say that I like web development better. I understand programming is used in more advanced web development, but I will worry about that when I get there.

Here's something I've been working on to practice positioning.
