On one of my sites, I use the GoDaddy Site seal and sometimes, it takes forever to load, causing serious damage to the page load times. It does not matter whether you put the code in the header section of the page or in the footer of the page, it won’t make a difference. It […]
As a web developer, we all have to write cross-browser code on a day to day basis and most of the time, cross-browser really means making sure the code works in different versions of IE. IE10 and IE11 are a lot better than IE9 in terms of compatibility and the biggest challenge is usually IE8 […]
ClassList is a native and convenient alternative to accessing an element’s list of classes as a space-delimited string via element.className. It makes it easier to accomplish common tasks such as adding class, removing class etc. I find myself using the ClassList API more and more recently (as opposed to the equivalent jQuery functions) and I […]
Mobile Safari (iOS) has no concept of hover, in general. Obviously, with touch devices, you can’t have this feature. The screen needs to be touched for it to detect any user interaction.

I have been using jQuery tabs in several places in one of my websites. And most of the tabs I have are setup as AJAX tabs. ie they are fetching data only when they are clicked on. This has been working fine in all other browsers except in IE8. IE8 doesnt show the latest content […]
I had been using the super jQuery Validator plugin in one of my projects. And everything was working fine, except in IE8. Isnt that typical of IE? Anyways, the problem was that I was using the validator plugin quite heavily and one of the forms simply refused to work in IE8. I did not try […]
