Re: Commenting System Battle: IntenseDebate vs Disqus

chriscoyier — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 17:07:01 -0000

Disqus is very nice as well. I ultimately went with IntenseDebate because of the Automattic (WordPress) acquisition. That pretty much guarantees it's going to get some steam behind it. Obviously lots of stuff I want improved though.

Another important one to consider is CoComment though, which takes it in a different direction. Essentially, you can keep track of your comments despite if the blog actually has anything installed or not.

Way jealous of the jQuery shirt. Can't buy a shirt like that for love or money as far as I know.

I've been trying to watch this for three days and it just won't play for me. It'll play like half a second and stop. Super weird for a YouTube video... Multiple different computers, whether it's embedded here or directly on YouTube. Different internet connections. It's gotta be a YouTube bug.

Using the JavaScript embed method rather than the iframe method is suggested. That will solve this problem.

I think you outta chuck the old alpha slider on there for good measure eh? If nothing else because it'd be neat on the page to watch the striped background start showing through.

Very nice, I like it. Thanks for sharing this idea. I love that there are so many techniques for handling this tricky issue. Since all use cases will be different, it's nice to have options!

Total bummer about IE7. Just for dumb fun, I decided to make a Wufoo form theme that makes it look like the default SurveyMonkey style, complete with the custom radio buttons.

https://chriscoyier.wufoo.c...

With your awesome idea, the browser support is pretty good. Works with the custom radio buttons in IE 9+ and of course the standard regiment of good browsers. IE 8 and IE 6 fall back to normal radio buttons, but alas, IE 7 fail (no radios displayed).

Re: Creating A Rocking CSS3 Search Box

I heart the design. Super cool. I'd love to see a whole website with that same style and dimensionality.

I'd rock some input { outline: 0; } on it to get rid of the blue focus outline in webkit (kinda wrecks the effect) and do something else instead to visually signify focus.

Re: Aspect-Ratio preserving DIVs in CSS

chriscoyier — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 10:00:58 -0000

Clever thinking!

Similar to this: http://www.alistapart.com/a... in which uses top padding in percentages (which is based on width) with an inner container that is absolutely positioned to the corners of it. That way it's aspect ratio remains the same as it's width can flex. This: http://fitvidsjs.com/ uses that idea (with JavaScript) to add the wrapper elements with the proper padding to get the right aspect ratio. Does use JavaScript, but quite lightly =)

Re: Responsive and SEO Friendly Data Tables

chriscoyier — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 18:39:00 -0000

Hi Munawar,

This is really neat, thanks for writing about it and expanding the thinking going on around responsive design and specific situations.

This is similar-ish to some work I did: http://css-tricks.com/9096-...

One difference is that you've used div's where I used actual table markup. I played with it both ways, and ultimately decided that if it's *really tabular data* then the correct markup to use is table markup. It also turns out that you can change the display values of table elements and have them behave like divs (for the narrow media queries) so I figured I might as well choose the most semantic choice.

Another difference is that you've used data attributes for the labeling. I really like that. While it's repetitive, it's more flexible than hard coding the labels into CSS.

As for all the "SEO" stuff here, I'm just not sure about that. I'm not an SEO guy. But I tend to think that just because you're using div's instead of table markup isn't like "free SEO points". I could be wrong though, just doesn't seem logical and I don't see any evidence either way.
