Dynamic Page Tabs in IE6

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

Note: 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.  If you want to read the full text, please visit: 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.

Featherdust: A Simple Twitter Gem

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

Not too long ago, I released a Ruby gem on GitHub.  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.  It works similarly to many of the javascript Twitter aggregators, except that it doesn’t require the end user to have Javascript installed.
