IE screenSize
Problem:
Apparently no one cares about a user’s actual screen resolution. Usually I don’t too, but in this case I do. In creating a home page with an image as the background and expands as the user expands their window, the overflow is hidden. However for users with a low resolution this means that they cannot scroll to see what else is on the page.
Solution:
The workaround for this is to detect the users screen resolution and change the css overflow attribute on the html, body tags to be “auto”. I have two monitors, one at 1600×1200 and another at 1024×768. On firefox and chrome the height values match with the javascript property screen.height. On IE the value is always 1200. I’m guessing it’s because the 1600×1200 monitor is my primary monitor.

Styling for Mobile Web
Developing for IE, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome is a pain! But now we have mobile devices like the iPhone and iPad. This website demonstrates a nice way to handle these:
Drop Shadow with CSS
.shadow {
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000;
/* For IE 8 */
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=4, Direction=135, Color='#000000')";
/* For IE 5.5 - 7 */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=4, Direction=135, Color='#000000');
}
