Just learned a new thing about CMYK JPGs and IE. Aparently the two do not mix. In these three browser versions (6,7 and 8, could not check older versions) JPGs saved in CMYK colourspace would not load and simply display a “red cross” (a.k.a. missing image) placeholder.

IE9 however behaved well, and displayed image without any hickups.

The solution was rather easy, load JPG in photoshop and just resave it. I guess any other image converter tool would do the trick too.

A few more words re this issue could be read form this page.

IE6 has its own mind when it goes to styling button elements. It applies (seemingly) some padding even if you set it to padding: 0. Found a great article at viget.com that made my day yesterday. The solution to get rid of extra padding in IE6 is rather easy. Just apply these rules to the button:

button {
width: auto;
overflow: visible;
}

I recently had an issue with some flash movies appearing above all content pneumonia the page. I tried giving absolutely positioned elements a very high zindex, bit it did not help art all. Search in Google for similar problem revealed that flash can be played in several modes.

By default all movies are played in window mode which allowes them to perform the best but such oddities as flash always on top will be happening.

Fixing my issue was rather easy. I just needed to add a wmode=opaque to the flash object. Job done.

I was searching for a free webhosting for Facebook (FB) sandbox. After trying out a few only one happened to have all necessary features for FB development. The main issue with all others was that CURL PHP was not enabled. It is required by FB library to make api calls. Some that had CURL enabled did not allow connections over HTTPS, which also is a must for FB api calls.

So, the winner is Free Web Hosting Area

Other hosting services I tried:

• Zymic
• EU.pn
• 000webhost.com
