Search Engines don't read JavaScript but the question wasn't about
search.
Lots of mobile devices think that they are actually screen browsers so this
may be causing some problems - My phone (Nokia N73) has 2 browsers; one that
reads handheld sheets and one that reads screen sheets.

You've got a transparent background-color set somewhere as all of the

currently browser default (mine is set to pink so I can see sites that
aren't defining background-colors!). This prob isn't much
Looking for best practice markup for addresses.
There is an ADDRESS attribute in HTML but this is usually for the
purpose of defining the address of the author (rather than the address
of what you're discussing in the content).
The best thing to do would be to use the hCard microformat which

Although I'm a jQuery man myself, it's good to see someone actively

The latest version of Contribute (CS3) is not actually that bad. We use it

I agree, the page that microsoft loads by default in IE8 (their own site)
breaks horribly because of an embedded map - You'd think that they would fix

It depends on how Microsoft are going to get users to upgrade - If they do a
forced upgrade then that figure could go down and presumably if a service
pack for vista comes out it will include IE8 in it by default so hopefully
it will be more like a year and a half rather than 2 and a half.

If you're using a mac then I must highly recommend TextMate (

Completely unrelated but a minor bugbear from me - If you disable images,
then you can't read your links as they are white and the usual browser
background color default is white. This can be remedied by adding a
background color of black to your body so that the links will now become
visible
If it's a mac issue, the most usual cause is that full keyboard access isn't
enabled. Solve this by going to System Preferences - Keyboard Mouse -
Keyboard Shortcuts - select the All Controls radio button in the full
keyboard access section at the bottom of the pane (not in the scrollable
area).

Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in.

recommend #jquery for the jQuery library which is my particular ajax weapon
of choice).

I don't personally have a problem with having iphone in a URL as it is
generally used for applications that are very specific to the iphone. Yes,
perhaps there should be versions for other devices (e.g. Nokia) but the
reality is that most developers won't bother making specific sites for these
I don't know about the Dublin Core issue but my gut feeling with

from the wrong side
Only if they are PNGs with alpha transparencies - these are not
supported in IE6 amongst others (although there are hacks). If it's
just a straightforward image, then PNG will be absolutely fine.

Hi Lyn,
I've tested it in IE7 and it works ok, but just isn't working in IE6
(it loads but is blue at one end rather than white). The reason for
this is that you're using a transparent PNG which isn't supported on
IE6 and below. There are tons of examples of this (and how to fix it)
on
It does of course require JavaScript which isn't strictly necessary as
you can get the same effect with just CSS (especially for the purposes
of the example given initially).
With regards to background image positioning, I'm fairly sure there is
no way to stop it going to position (0,0) as
