Sahaj Toolbar for IE and FireFox

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

Here is a really cool Sahaj toolbar to download. It’s a repository of all Sahaja knowledge online. I can see myself spending all day with it. This is really neat.

I listen to Indian Classical and Indian FM with my 5 month old son. We are enjoying it thoroughly. It’s just so convenient and fun. It’s so nice to have all the Sahaja related helpful websites bookmarked. I particularly look forward to browsing through websites related to history of religions. Last but not the least, weather information on the toolbar is really helpful.

How to add specific style/script for IE in HTML?

Monday, May 15th, 2006

There are times when we want a specific style or stylesheet or a javascript to be rendered only in IE and not other browsers such as FireFox. If this is so, then you can do so by adding following if and endif declarations in the HTML. Insert the style or stylesheet or javascript that needs to be rendered only by IE between the if and endif declarations in the HTML.

<!- -[if IE]>

<![endif]- ->

Min-Height

Sunday, May 7th, 2006

Majority of the web page layout require side navigation column and the content column to expand vertically equal. This can be a challenge when we prefer to use div rather than tables for layout.

I explained one of the most useful hacks that create an appearance of two columnar div’s expanding vertically equal to each other. However, there are times when we actually want both the columns to have equal height. The solution can be min-height – a very helpful CSS property. However, it doesn’t work in IE. It works in FireFox. (more…)

How to Use ems for HTML Font Size?

Monday, January 30th, 2006

HTML font size is specified in CSS stylesheet using pixels, ems or keywords. I have rarely found keywords much useful. Using pixel guarantees control over the look of the web page but the issue is that if we use pixels for font size, then the web page is not as accessible in IE.

For example, open this web page in IE and select “largest” for the text size under “View” menu as seen in the screenshot below:
