Confession time: Somewhere down the back of my T-shirt drawer there’s a black tee with a red dinosaur and the word “Mozilla” in blocky soviet-industrial type. It’s from a time when Firefox was young and easy and free, and we were in love. Ah, Firefox. Whatever happened to us? Taking Chrome out was no big deal at the time — just for …

Somehow, I inadvertently started a navigation series over the last few weeks. It’s purely coincidence, mostly spawned by emails and such. This week, we’re going to mimic the neat navigation functionality, found on JohnMayer.com. Simply mouse over one of the navigation items to see the effect. However, we’re going to make it a bit more flexible by removing the need for images. We’ll achieve the effect using only CSS and JavaScript. Other Viewing Options MP4 Version iTunes Version

These days, a portfolio is a must. What we have here is a list of dark portfolio websites that are split up into common groups that most portfolios fall in. The last group will be for those experimental dark layouts, where the designer tries something different. Rotating Image/Static Featured Image We’ll start out with perhaps the most popular forms of portfolio design. This is the jQuery…

Image: Wikipedia/CC HTML, CSS and JavaScript have always been visible to the interested end user. Whether through the good old view source option in your browser, or something a bit more sophisticated — like developer favorite Firebug — the code has always been there to learn from. It’s part of what makes the open web open. But when it comes to JavaScript, it’s possible that openness may soon be a thing of the past. …

Poor Microsoft — they must be wondering when it’s all going to end. Their browser choice screen was launched on 1 March following costly EU legal shenanigans. Statisticians then reported that the random browser display was not as random as it could be . Now the makers of Avant, Flock, GreenBrowser, K-meleon, Maxthon, Sleipnir and Slim have complained to the EU about the visibility of their browsers. The vendors state that it’s not immediately obvious there are further browser choices beyond the initial five displayed on the choice screen : You can see their point — anyone …

Quite often, I find myself in a situation where I need to change the content of a form based on which checkboxes or radio buttons in a group are checked. I used to do this by adding an onclick and/or onchange event to each individual checkbox or radio button and then running a function to figure out whether or not the changed element was checked. Then, I discovered how easy it is to do all of this on…

Heads up, Aussies! In April and May, I’m hitting the road to teach JavaScript workshops all around Australia, and I’d love to see some of the SitePoint crowd there when I do! In case you don’t know me, I’m the co-author of Simply JavaScript and host of the SitePoint Podcast . I also help write the SitePoint Tech Times newsletter , and manage the motley crew of developers who put SitePoint together. Released in 2007, Simply JavaScript was widely praised not only for its practical approach to learning JavaScript by tackling real-world problems, but for its entertaining style and highly visual approach to communicating key concepts. In many ways, it’s the piece of writing I’m most proud of, and I’m really excited about getting to take that material on the road and present it in a whole new way…

There is some really great encouragement as well as some suggestions as to what we could do better and it gave me the perfect opportunity to take a good hard look at the things that you don’t much like and to let you know …
