This editor is very cool. There’s a good example too but I have noticed something odd. If you link to a relative link or a variable such as {$link} then the editor adds in the full path to the editor directory. At least you can toggle HTML preview on and off!

Argh! Vodafone.ie doesn’t like Mozilla Firebird! I tried to change my tariff from the awfully expensive one it was at. (set a year ago, and forgot to change, it’s not even available now!)
Using Moz FB I get the following error:

You have selected a Text Add On.

In order for your request to be processed you must select one of our new Tariff options from the Tariff Table.

Of course I had selected one of the new tariff options and I hadn’t selected the “Text Add On”. I had to resort to IE on a Windows box nearby. Why can’t they get simple forms and radio buttons right and cross-browser compatible? Silly, silly, silly.
Must mail webmasterATvodafone.ie about that one methinks.

Good presentation on using CSS for liquid layout. Going through each step of the process and explaining each well. Including hacks to get around bugs in various versions of IE!

Minor change to the template here. I was going to overhaul the site but in the end I decided I wanted to get some fresh air instead, so I’m off for a drive!

On a sort of related issue, does anyone else find that Hoffmania needs to be loaded twice? The first time I view it in Moz FB the first paragraph of text appears fine, then the text turns into either html code or garbage. ‘Course, if you’re a fan of a certain shrub you might not notice any change on reload. hehe.
Go read his site. Good stuff there!

ColorMatch Remix – another Javascript colour matcher.
I really need a HTML category..

Nice tool for generating the base code for a table free layout. Yumm!

More from the Css Zen Garden – A friend of Simon WIllison contributed a really nice design to the site.

In Mozilla Firebird. when using the find-as-you-type feature always go to the top of the page before you start typing. On a big page my browser hung for several seconds while doing the search.
So, hit the ‘Home’ key before you search!
For those who don’t know, start typing on this page, (try ‘ILUG’) and a link with the characters you type will be highlighted. Press ‘/’ and your search and it’ll match any text, not just links! If a link is highlighted, even partially, just press return to go to that link. It’s a wonderful feature!

it would appear that the nightly builds from Mozilla.org of Moz Firebird are now built with gtk2 and xft! woo! I’m downloading the latest build right now and I’ll post again in a few minutes with an update here.
Update! Yes, the new build is just as nice looking as the old ones I’ve been using! yummy!

This is cool – DHTML Lemmings! It doesn’t work 100% perfectly in the snapshot of Moz FB I have however, but it looks really nice! (via Justin)
