[비공개] Be careful with non-ascii characters i..
One thing that is rather common, especially on websites whose content is not in English, is URLs that contain unencoded characters such as space, å, ä, or ö. While this works most of the time it can cause problems. Looking at RFC 3986 - Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax, characters that are allowed to be used unencoded in URLs are either reserved or unreserved. The unreserved..456 Berea Street|2010-06-15 02:09 am추천 -
[비공개] New windows with JavaScript and the ta..
I’ve written a few articles about techniques that use JavaScript to open new browser windows, the most recent one being Opening new windows with JavaScript, version 1.2. A very quick summary of my reason for using JavaScript is that it enables me to use strict HTML 4.01 and XHTML doctypes, which do not allow the target attribute. By using JavaScript to open new windows I can still use validat..456 Berea Street|2010-06-09 02:49 am추천 -
[비공개] Validating HTML5 in the browser
I like to be alerted of any validation errors that sneak into my markup as soon as possible. That's why I find the HTML Validator Extension for Firefox very hard to live (well, work) without. Unfortunately, it does not support HTML5. I've been looking hard for an alternative that does and has the same features as the HTML Validator Extension, i.e. runs locally in the browser without sending any..456 Berea Street|2010-06-04 02:46 am추천 -
[비공개] Accessibility does not prevent you fro..
A common misconception is that in order to make a website accessible you have to abstain from using JavaScript or Flash. Almost every time I hold a workshop on Web standards and accessibility there is at least one participant who believes that accessibility limits what they can do on the Web by telling them to stay away from anything that isn't pure HTML.Read full postPosted in Accessibility, Ja..456 Berea Street|2010-06-01 05:00 am추천 -
[비공개] If you use the accesskey attribute, sp..
The HTML accesskey attribute can be used to assign a keyboard shortcut to a link or form control. The intention is to let keyboard users quickly navigate to different parts of a web page or trigger links to other pages. Whether or not the accesskey attribute should be used at all is a debate that has been going on for years. I’m not going to go there in this article (see Providing Keyboard Sh..456 Berea Street|2010-05-27 03:14 am추천 -
[비공개] Void (empty) elements and self-closing..
The syntax for void elements and self-closing tags is something most web authors get right. However, there are two types of mistakes that I see every now and then: using end tags on void elements and using self-closing start tags on elements that can have content.Read full postPosted in (X)HTML, HTML 5, Quick Tips.456 Berea Street|2010-05-21 04:10 am추천 -
[비공개] Internet Explorer market share now bel..
It’s been a while since I talked about the market share of various browsers here. It seemed more important around six or seven years ago before Internet Explorer’s market share started to decrease from levels above 95%. Back in those days, sites that were built exclusively for Internet Explorer and actively blocked visitors with newer browsers like Mozilla or Safari were pretty common. Nowa..456 Berea Street|2010-05-18 04:45 am추천 -
[비공개] The Web is a web of content, not an ap..
I’ve never been a big fan of Web “applications”. For most tasks that warrant the use of some sort of application I much prefer having a stable desktop application that adheres to the user interface conventions of the platform I’m using, and that I can use without having to be connected to the Internet. When I use the Web, it’s first and foremost because I want to find or share informa..456 Berea Street|2010-05-11 03:12 am추천 -

[비공개] Why iPhones, iPods and iPads are Flash..
Apple does not allow Flash on their iPhones, iPods and iPads. Some complain about this, others think it’s good, and most people probably don’t know or don’t care. Many have speculated as to why Apple has made this decision. There hasn’t been any official word on this (as far as I know, at least), but in Thoughts on Flash Steve Jobs explains why.Read full postPosted in Apple, Mobile Web,..456 Berea Street|2010-04-30 05:32 am추천
