Get The Distance Between Two Addresses
Find The Distance Between Two Addresses After having a lot of fun working on the "Find Your Nearest ATM" script I decided to have a go at something similar, but a little bit different. Some Background This is actually going to be part of a project I'm currently working on in my job at Worldview Limited. I have recently been writing a "Proposal Generator", which uses a lovely JavaScript "Web App" interface to add options and text to generate a PDF "proposal" for our corporate clients. Part...

Thoughts About Google+
It's everywhere at the moment. Everyone is talking about it. Not so many have managed to use it yet. I am one of the fortunate ones that has had a few days to use it and learn about it and see what it can really do. So, here's what I think about Google's new social media project Google . The first thing I noticed about it is that it is very shiny! We knew something was coming when colour scheme of a lot of the Google products changed late last week and it would seem that Google is one of the...

Find Your Nearest ATM
Find Your Nearest ATM I have been working on a few scripts recently a little different to the normal ones you might find on DeVSeO. Partly this is because I have now discovered how awesome jQuery can be, and how easy it is to learn and use. Because of this I have undertaken a few personal "mini-projects" with the help of jQuery and a little bit of HTML5 thrown in for good measure. The first of these is my new "ATM Finder", which uses Google Maps to plot ATMs on a map for you based on one of...

Blurry Text & Simple Snapshots With HTML & CSS3
I was reading the latest post on Ajaxian and found Marcin Wichary (the creator of the Google Pacman Logo) to be an absolute genius with some very interesting ideas. Thought I'd try out a couple of them here, so to start with here's some blurry text: Blurry Title Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed dapibus arcu sit amet erat feugiat accumsan. Morbi rutrum dui a lacus sollicitudin in accumsan quam vestibulum. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Donec sed sapien mi, ut bl...

HTML5 Search Inputs - Tips and Tricks
HTML5 has some great new tags and attributes allowing you to do some neat stuff without having to resort to HTML/JavaScript/CSS hacks. Today I learnt a little about the HTML5 'search' tag, which is actually a normal input with the type set to 'search' (rather than text/hidden/submit etc). It is basically meant as a quick way to create a search input for your site and webkit-based browsers have added a little support for the new type, which you can see if you have Chrome 5 or the latest Safari....

The Decline Of Internet Explorer 6?
Recently I've been looking at some new sites made by various designers and developers and I've begun to notice a trend. The obvious use of CSS3 and HTML5 has risen dramatically since the beginning of the year. This makes me wonder, is it because people have finally stopped caring so much about IE6 looking visually identical as all the other browsers? I'd certainly like to think so! One recent incident regarding this comes from the sites I've been working on at work. I've been m...

Microsoft Could Support IE6 For Longer!
I know it's the most depressing news you've probably heard for a long time, but Microsoft are talking about extending the life of Windows XP based on a fact that 74% of work PC's still run the 4 and a half year old OS.This could potentially mean that IE6 (which shipped with the original versions of XP and therefore must be supported as long as the OS) could well be supported for a longer length of time too to accommodate businesses that don't want to update their IE6-specific software until they...

CSS3 Rounded Images Without Clipping
Have you ever tried to style an image in CSS3 with a border radius of anything except 0? If you have you may have noticed that the image clips outside of the container, which looks absolutely horrible! The desired effect would be for the image to sit below the border and clip underneath so it looks like the image has a nice rounded corner. However, because of this (Firefox?) bug, the desired effect cannot be achieved this way.However, there is a workaround! (Actually there's a couple, but this i...

Eric Meyer On CSS3
Okay, if you haven't read this amazing article on alistapart I think you should head over there now and read it.Eric Meyer (of so much CSS fame, if you don't know who he is you're here for the wrong reasons! Or if you would like to learn head overt to Complex Spiral and be amazed!) delivers a beautifully written, and very comprehendable argument for the use of vendor prefixes in CSS3.The article basically states that the vendor prefix (e.g. -moz, -webkit) is a great way to allow vendors to test,...
