Google Chrome - A player?
So today I'm playing with Google Chrome at work. From my first look at it, it has promise. There's some beautiful things about it like when one tab freezes for one reason or another (something that would likely shut down Firefox / IE), only that tab freezes and not the entire application - allowing you to continue to work rather than stare at an un-responsive browser.

Acid 3 Test?
Yes the Acid 3 test has been released. The official announcement is here, and because I loath copy/paste blog posts you will need to go there to read all the nitty/gritty about it. Pretty much Acid3 tests specifications for "web 2.0" (What the heck is web 2.0 anyways? When did the web get an update... I'm still waiting for my CD!). Too see exactly what's tested, check this out.

CSS - Sprites?
Web Designers are always trying to find new and innovative (read:easier and better) ways of creating web sites. Today I stumbled across two sites that really push this.

IE8 Passes the Acid2 test
As many web developers know, Internet Explorer has always been behind the times for Web Standards. Just last week IE8 (Which is still in development) passed the Acid2 test. The Acid2 Test's main website is here, and you can view the actual test here. The Acid2 test has correct CSS and incorrect CSS. The test is to determine how a browser handles CSS(correct and incorrect). The long list of standards that web browsers has to support (W3C is only one body of standards), you can imagine how great the IE team must feel.

Fancy Button 2.0 (Not A Link button)
I got a shwack of feedback and comments from my recent post: Get rid of regular buttons, use Link Buttons.A0 I actually thought my solution was a great one, apparently I was a bit off base. That's not to say that my solution was totally wrong - Yes I'm stubborn... but I do admit that I am "occasionally" wrong... occasionally...

Get rid of regular buttons, use link buttons
For the past 3 years I have been pushing my managers and especially the teams I work with that the web applications we make need to be visually appealing. The graphics designers I know can do amazing things. My friend Steve Sereda is an amazing graphics designer and he created some awesome skins for me for the time we worked together.

Updated BicNet Projects
I have updated my projects site. This section of my bicnet website is a place where I can throw working examples of blog posts, and other things I like to show. Sometimes at home I'll find something cool, and I'll throw it up there for my manager to see.

A Table, some text and CSS Pseudo Classes
I really want to thank the IE7 team for building in more Support for CSS. It allows us web developers to do some pretty cool things with CSS without the use of javaScript. Unfortunately not all the goodies work with IE7 (:after :before) but a lot do.
This post is a quick glance at using CSS Pseudo Classes with Tables. In this example I will use a regular HTML table, however this will work with any ASP.NET control that outputs an html <table>.
First, if you have no idea what a Pseudo class is please look at this page by W3Schools.
Let's start with some CSS:

CSS attribute selectors... in IE7!
A co-worker sent around an email regarding CSS Attribute Selectors. What was amazing in that email though is it said they worked in IE7!
