CSS Tabs


CSS Tabs 07/02/2004 04:29 PM
If you've ever built any sort of web application, you've probably found yourself using tabs to create some part of the interface. I'm no Eric Meyer, but I came up with a pretty handy way to do that this afternoon. Read on to see my example, and if you have any cool CSS tricks we should know about, post a comment!

Approaches for the too-many-tabs problem


Approaches for the too-many-tabs problem 12/02/2003 01:27 AM

tabs.gif
I've seen various, slightly differing solutions to the too-many-tabs-to-fit problem recently. Amazon does a "more tabs" thing at the right, the new AOL has an embedded tab scrolling thing (the tabs that are not embedded don't scroll, thus allowing for a selection of more important tabs that are always visible), and SAP has a scrolling tab solution without the tabs that stay (couldn't find a screenshot...). Point to other solutions in the comments and I'll add screenshots.

It seems like the too-many-tabs problem is slowly coalescing towards a standard solution for websites.

I've seen the Mac solution below being used on a weblog at one point, but I can't find it anymore. Anyone?

Searching the Invisible Tabs
http ://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/article.php/3115131

Tired of wading through thousands -- possibly millions -- of results to your Web searches? How would it be if search engines offered lists of category tabs -- so you could confine your search to relevant Web sites? Too restrictive, too cumbersome (after all, how many categories would there need to be)? Well then, how about invisible tabs -- behind-the-scenes functions that would automatically categorize your query and deliver results within that category? AskJeeves and others already do it to a degree. Example: Test AskJeeves against Google for "pictures of DNA." AskJeeves delivers images; Google offers a list of URLs. "It's not rocket science to see your query and decide that it makes sense to push the invisible image tab for you. But the change it produces, and perceived relevance to me, is dramatic," says SearchEngineWatch.com editor Danny Sullivan. To avoid frustrating searchers by, say, returning shopping lists instead product reviews, the search engine might come back with questions formatted as listings: "What would you like to do? Show me prices for this product from merchants across the Web; Show me product reviews from across the Web; Show me general matching content from across the Web."

IE Tabs Suck Memory Too


IE Tabs Suck Memory Too 06/17/2005 04:33 PM
Adam Stiles notes that Microsoft's IE Tabs Suck Memory like there's no tomorrow: I never considered the possibility that each IE7 tab would have its own copy of 3rd party toolbars. But that's the direction Microsoft has taken. What's the problem with that approach? Every time you open a new browser tab (which tabbed browser users do much more frequently than single-window browser users), you have to create new instances of any 3rd-party bars. Ouch. Opening a folder of 25...

Want to see how much more information is stored in a photo taken with a 6+ megapixel digital SLR? I took a few test shots with my new Digital Rebel at the highest jpeg quality setting, which is about 3000x2000 images (not a RAW or TIFF image). Here's a shot of my cat sitting in the sun, downsized to 750x500. And here's a 750x500 chunk of the original photo. Notice there's nary a hint of pixelation anywhere. After years of using 1 megapixel cameras and more recently a 3 megapixel camera, the stuff coming out of the SLR is unbelieveable.

I haven't printed anything with this camera yet but I bet prints from inkjets or ofoto are going to look superb given all the detail in these images.

09/17/2004 12:28 PM
The multiple tab feature of Firefox (and Opera before it) is enough of a reason to drop Microsoft Internet Explorer ... which, apparently, people are doing at an increased pace, although IE still has something like 93% of the market. But I currently have 31 instances of Firefox open, each with 1-4 tabs. So, I'd like an extension that lists all the open tabs in all the open instances. My dream extension would let me jump to any of those tabs. It would also let me close them or close multiple instances with a single click. And it would give...

09/17/2004 12:41 PM
The new version of Mozilla Firefox is out and supports RSS. Don Park calls the RSS support "crappy and useless." Question: One of my favorite features in Safari for OS X is the little circled X in each tab, so you can close it by clicking on the actual tab instead of having to go all the way to the right side of the window in Firefox to click the close-the-tab X there. Is there any Firefox add-on that makes it do the same thing?

For months and months I've been ignoring the ugly horizontal bars that show up in the box at the top of my archive pages. One crosses out "An Entry from the Archives" and the other runs underneath that text. They don't show up in Microsoft IE but they do in Firefox and Safari. Generous reader Miles of TinyApps, a site I never tire of recommending to y'all, scouted out the html code and found the offending lines. Apparently the Style property "text-decoration: none;" renders as blue underlines in Firefox and Safari, although I'm sure it will turn out to have...

I have to say that I agree Dave Winer in this AP article:

While I think Dave should have posted a warning ahead of time to users and can take steps to get the sites back online sooner, making this front page news at Yahoo.com (screenshot) is insane, not to mention the ridiculous headline.


No, It's Not Our Own Damn Fault


No, It's Not Our Own Damn Fault 09/07/2004 01:04 AM

In response to my rant about integrated library system vendors, Peter Rukavina says that it's our own damn fault.

"When you outsource the administration of your data to someone else (whether it's an OPAC vendor or a university computing department or some guy down the street), you're also outsourcing any chance you have at retaining ultimate control over that data.

When you buy a 'one size fits all' technology solution -- an OPAC that's designed for, say, 'any public library' -- you're buying a commodity, not a solution.

And you should expect to be treated as an insignificant cog by your vendor: that's what you are. By absolving yourself of personal responsibility over your data management in the first place, you've already said 'we don't care enough about this to do it ourselves, so you take care of it for us.' Is it any wonder they treat you like they do?"

While I understand the spirit of his response and I wish that we did have some of our best and brightest programmers devoted to creating the one true catalog (rather than working on it as time permits at their real job or doing it at home on their own time), nonprofit libraries just don't have the option for which Peter advocates.

I bought a new car this year because I was unhappy with some of the things about my old car. Using Peter's logic, I shouldn't have outsourced my new vehicle to a car manufacturer, but I did. I just didn't have the time, money, or other resources to build one myself.

Yeah, it's over the top, but you get my point. Ambulance drivers don't make the ambulances, doctors don't make the defibrillators, lawyers don't make the Lexis-Nexis database, and programmers use operating systems developed by someone else (even if it's Linux).

You can't outsource everything, and libraries have to prioritize what to expend their limited amounts of resources on. Can they build their own cars? No, but they can certainly switch to one made by another manufacturer.


Damn you, Spyware!

Ah, what a perfect morning. Crispy matzoh for breakfast, a cup of delicious coffee, and then a couple of hours trying to clean my PC of adware and spyware, some of it fiendishly clever and as tough to pry out as a hermit crab that's grown into its shell. Adaware works pretty well - extremely well since it's free - but there are some objects that it can't delete because they are in use. And neither can I, even doing a safe mode start-up. Die 3avxfmcodec.cpy.dll, die! Some of the little wankers get loaded via my Hosts file, and then...

Someone else talked about the need to supplement that law in order to understand a different aspect of social dynamics. Someone else commented, contradicted, expanded...
