HTML5 Microdata: Welcome to the Machine

HTML5 Microdata: Welcome to the Machine

By CMS tutorial Crawler in HTML

I don't think it is hyperbole to say that HTML5 will change the way that you think about web development. I welcome many of the changes as they make development easier, and the user experience richer. With any change, though, there is certain to be a bit of trepidation and controversy. One addition that certainly is not without its controversy is the Microdata specification, but I believe the benefits of this very simple specification are going to change how you look at your mark-up in the very near future.

Quick Tip: Did Internet Explorer get the Box Model Right?

Quick Tip: Did Internet Explorer get the Box Model Right?

By CMS tutorial Crawler in HTML

The CSS standard states that borders and padding should be applied on top of the specified width of an element.however, Internet Explorer actually did things differently. They adopted a model where the maximum width is what you specified. The borders and padding are then factored into that width, reducing the content area. As we mostly work with extremely sensitive floated layouts, where even the addition of a 1px border can break the design, I wonder: did Internet Explorer get it right?
