Note:Â This is a re-posting/summary of a post that was written and released on the Onehub blog; I’m just posting up a snippet so that you can see what it’s about. Â If you want to read the full text, please visit:Â http://www.onehub.com/past/2009/1/2/dynamic_page_tabs_in_ie6/
While working to ensure that the Onehub experience was of the best possible quality for our Internet Explorer 6 users, I ran in to a unique challenge: we have page tabs that need to be completely flexible. I had no guarantee that they would be a certain width, height, or even how many tabs there would be.
Anyone who has worked with IE6 for long enough will know what a headache scenario that can be, but I needed to make sure that these tabs were as usable in IE6 as they were in any other browser. After doing no small amount of research, I realized that very few people have written about how they have solved this problem; in fact, I found very few examples of tabs that were as complex as ours were. So, I had to solve the problem for myself, and this is what I did.

Not too long ago, I released a Ruby gem on GitHub. Â You can read more about it over at the gem’s site, but in a nutshell it’s a gem that’s designed to be added in to your website, and it will aggregate however many status updates you want from your Twitter account. Â It works similarly to many of the javascript Twitter aggregators, except that it doesn’t require the end user to have Javascript installed.
