The abnormal line-height story by Eric Meyer
I have always had problems with line-height. When I had 2px difference in a header between IE and Firefox, the solution was line-height. When my sIFR title was smaller in IE and bigger in Firefox, the solution was line-height.
Eric Meyer gives his thoughts about the line-height layout.
“The point here is that line layout is very difficult to truly understand—even given everything I just said, I’m still not convinced that I do—and that there are often surprises lurking for anyone who goes looking into the far corners of how it happens. As I’ve said before, my knowledge of what goes into the layout of lines of text imparts a sense of astonishment that any page can be successfully displayed in less than the projected age of the universe.”
Youtube API tools
It’s really easy to develop Javascript or Flash applications that can control or interact with the YouTube player, or even completely reskin the interface. This video walks you through the basics of the YouTube API.
The video has 3 main parts: html/javascript API, Flash API and the Chromeless Player (an swf without buttons). This allows you to use custom layout controls for your website.

The Highly Extrensible CSS Interface by Cameron Moll
The roundup. This might be the best showcase article of 2008!
Introducing “The Highly Extensible CSS Interface,†a four-part series of how-to’s and savvy conversation to be published in the coming weeks, with the first article debuting this week. The phrase “highly extensible†is in reference to designing and coding interfaces that are flexible enough to adapt in ways the designer or developer may not foresee when handing off coded templates, while still retaining the overall aesthetic integrity of the layout. I hope you come to discover extensibility as being broader than just “bulletproofing,†though bulletproofing is certainly a significant part of it.

CSS compatibility and IE
“With each new release of Windows Internet Explorer, support for the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) standard has steadily improved. Internet Explorer 6 was the first fully CSS Level 1-compliant version of Internet Explorer. Windows Internet Explorer 8 is planned to be a fully CSS Level 2.1-compliant browser, and will support some features of CSS 3.“
“If the browsers your Web site is targeting include earlier versions of Internet Explorer, however, you want to know the level of CSS compliance for those as well. This article provides an at-a-glance look at CSS compliance across recent versions of Internet Explorer, including support in Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 for Developers and planned support in the final version of Internet Explorer 8.“
Why don’t they make the effort to make all the features from CSS3 to work and not SOME features? Anyhow, the list might be useful…
