I was reviewing the source code of a project when I realized that it was painful to create DOM on the fly while retaining the human-readable syntax. However, it is now improved thanks to the new API from jQuery 1.4

Browser bug when position:relative is ignored on table
Absolutely-positioned children of a relatively-positioned table will be positioned relative to the window, not the table.
A relatively positioned table with an absolutely positioned element placed inside of it will not calculate the correct position - relative to it's parent - but instead render the absolutely-positioned element in relation to the browser window itself. This does not reproduce when the same absolutely-positioned element is placed inside other relatively-positioned elements such as DIVs, however. Best suggestion, should this be an issue for your design, is to avoid the case entirely.
This issue originally documented by Peter-Paul Koch at quirksmode.org (Read original article).

The power behind your website
This is a guest blog post from Doan Phong, my buddy, a web developer from Synble.
There might not be as so easy that nowadays everyone on earth with little money can create their own website. But what behind their website does really matter? There might be a website from a group of people working for free as a hobby with the aim to provide the information or to make a community around them. There might be non-profit organizations making a website just to provide the latest news or benefits for their users. There might be firms that want to make profit from the website.There are thousands of reasons that make a website exists, but let think about your website as a business behind.

A bug in WebKit which can not render outline for a table
The bug is simple. I can not apply an outline to a table. Below is the code I used to test in Chrome and Safari:
[sourcecode language="html"]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
table
{
border: thin solid green;
outline: thick dotted red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Cell 1</td>
<td>Cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Cell 3</td>
<td>Cell 4</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
[/sourcecode]
In Firefox, you can see the outline drawn starting just outside the border edge. But in Chrome/Safari, you can only see the border.

Choosing my thesis topic
Working on mahshelf, barisma, recepist, sf-resource projects sure brought me lots of experiences in web developement. I can list below a few of them and I intend to choose one of them as the topic for my thesis
So far there are 4 to choose from. I myself find 1) really interesting to write about since there are tweaks, hacks and lots of scripts just to get things done. However, it will be boring for the teachers who give reviews since I am pretty sure that they do not know what I am writing about. And 1) is not truly practical since hardly any web company need this topic.
2) was fun when I did the tasks. Not only they mention a lot about high performance website and web optimization on books and blogs, there are also several FF plugins and open source tools for me to finish the benchmark. I am likely to choose this because (to be continued)
- I learned to upgrade a web app from symfony 1.0 to symfony 1.2 (mahshelf.com), that may sound simple but it was a pain in the ass due to the incompatibility between those versions. Manual changes have been made in controllers, routings and even the templates.
- I learned to optimize a web app, both in the frontend with compressing css, js files, moving the static files to the cdn; and backend (PHP, MySQL optimization). I really had fun when doing those tasks
- I developed a brand new web app (recepist.fi) with symfony 1.2. If I choose this topic, it will be a complete tutorial on how I have created things around this web app. However, I have not finished developing this app which means I will have to do the research and write documents at the same time. The case is not suitable since I am quite hurry and just want to write things I have been clearly aware of.
- I am a jQuery fan. Spending time writing jQuery portfolios makes me realize that I have written several useful jQuery plugins and I should write my thesis about it

fiksuhuuto, sentti, kakusuu and maybe all other finnish penny auction sites are just scams
Let's make it simple: stay away from those finnish penny auction sites such as fiksuhuuto and sentti... I spent several hours today on those sites and recognized that the admins add a bunch of ass sucking auto-bidding bots sucking the credits away from the real bidders. I lost money though I havent made any purchase, what an ass ! I hate this shitty fucking scam idea, thought it was innovative at the beginning though.
