very nice article on color theory

Posted in HTML/CSS
Tagged with

Color in design is very subjective. What evokes one reaction in one person may evoke a very different reaction in somone else. Sometimes this is due to personal preference, and other times due to cultural background. Color theory is a science in itself. Studying how colors affect different people, either individually or as a group, is something some people build their careers on. And there’s a lot to it. Something as simple as changing the exact hue or saturation of a color can evoke a completely different feeling. Cultural differences mean that something that’s happy and uplifting in one country can be depressing in another.

CSS Differences in Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8

Posted in HTML/CSS
Tagged with

One of the most bizarre statistical facts in relation to browser use has to be the virtual widespread numbers that currently exist in the use of Internet Explorer versions 6, 7 and 8. As of this writing, Internet Explorer holds about a 65% market share combined across all their currently used browsers. In the web development community, this number is much lower, showing about a 40% share.

The interesting part of those statistics is that the numbers across IE6, IE7, and IE8 are very close, preventing a single Microsoft browser from dominating browser stats — contrary to what has been the trend in the past. Due to these unfortunate statistics, it is imperative that developers do thorough testing in all currently-used Internet Explorer browsers when working on websites for clients, and on personal projects that target a broader audience.

Thanks to the many available JavaScript libraries, JavaScript testing across different browsers has become as close to perfect as the current situation will allow. But this is not true in CSS development, particularly in relation to the three currently used versions of Internet Explorer.

This article will attempt to provide an exhaustive, easy-to-use reference for developers desiring to know the differences in CSS support for IE6, IE7 and IE8. This reference contains brief descriptions and compatibility for:

  • Any item that is supported by one of the three browser versions, but not the other two
  • Any item that is supported by two of the three browser versions, but not the other one

This article does not discuss:

  • Any item that is not supported by any of the three browser versions
  • Proprietary or vendor-specific CSS

jCryption

Posted in Computers, Web Development
Tagged with ,

In short words jCryption is a javascript HTML-Form encryption plugin, which encrypts the POST/GET-Data that will be sent when you submit a form.
It uses the Multiple-precision and Barrett modular reduction libraries for the calculations and jQuery for the rest.
jCryption is completly free and dual licensed under the MIT and GPL licenses like jQuery.

Normally if you submit a form and you don’t use SSL, your data will be sent in plain text.
But SSL is neither supported by every webhost nor it’s easy to install/apply sometimes.
So I created this plug-in in order that you are able to encrypt your data fast and simple.
jCryption uses the public-key algorithm of RSA for the encryption.

jCryption at it’s current state is no replacement for SSL, because there is no authentication, but the main goal of jCryption should be a very easy and fast to install plugin which offers a base level of security.
Although it’s still in development and every contribution is welcome.

The way jCryption works (see examples) is, that the data is encrypted on the client (javascript) and decrypted on the server (php). For more information see the FAQ.

jCryption was tested with Internet Explorer 6 +, Mozilla Firefox 3+, Safari 3, Opera 9+, Google Chrome.

If you find any bugs, please report them on the GoogleCode issue page, or write your feature whishes there.

Some of the features are:

  • RSA form data encryption up to 2048 bit
  • AjaxSubmit supported
  • no SSL required
  • easy to install, use and extend
  • doesn’t block the browser on calculations
