"Comments, especially error-spotting and general "bravo" very

One minor inaccuracy. The article
written by Neil Crosby is based on an article I wrote in October of the previous
year. Oddly enough, it was Russ Weakely who badgered me into writing it in the
esign. It even looks pretty call as a
favicon.

Hi, David.
Why not use a DIV that contains all
the extra information you wish to convey? Conceal the DIV with display:none, and
then reveal the DIV when the user hovers over some sort of hotspot (use a
lowercase white"i" on a blue circle- the universal symbol for
"info
IE7 works very well indeed. The print style sheets problem can be overcome,
I believe, but another problem exists - you cannot use a stylesheet switcher
because it overrides the CSS that is used to fix IE.

excellent. Each interview gives us the opportunity to learn more about the

An interesting point of view. I have used Satay,
_javascript_, and Ian Hickson's new method. I prefer the latter because it
eliminates the need for an extra SWF, as well as some of the problems detailed
in the extensive discussion that
followed.
Simon
Jessey
Mario,
Ian Hickson recently came up with a more elegant alternative to the Satay
and JavaScript solutions.
Read his post about it here: http://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1081798064count=1
And see his example here:

I don't think there will be ANY updates of
IE. When "Longhorn" emerges, Internet Explorer will probably be subsumed by the
operating system. In fact, I don't think IE will be available on any other
platform after 6.0.

I usually do this when I want to feed IE with different values:
selector { rules that work with IE }
parentselector { rules hidden from IE that override the previous rules }
In this case:
selector { left: value; }
parentselector { left: 0; margin-left: value; }

Another thing to
consider is XML. Some people (myself included) create XML files on a regular
basis. The PHP short tag ? can easily be confused by XML parsers, because it
is the same as the beginning of a Processing Instruction. For
example:?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"
