Olivier Gambier has posted a cross platform implementation of a getElementsBySelector() function used to grab a collection of page elements via most of the CSS3 selectors syntax.

I’m loath to make a big deal of this before the customary five corrections that BoingBoing makes to any article—but, uh, what the hell?

Here are my comment on IE7 for a while—I’m starting to feel dirty contributing to the free easy love that’s been flowing so freely.

But If you’re not already reading IEBlog start with the post Layout Complete Announced at MIX06 complete with screenshots from one of Markus Mielke’s sessions showing the new browser’s support for:

• Fixed postitioning
• PNG alpha transparencies
• :hover support on all elements

All great news… well… except for maybe the fixed positioning support and some of the awful site designs it will lead to.

After going nearly 5 years with only a minor visual refresh it was time to give ChunkySoup.net a new look. So after sacrificing a bit of spare time here and lost sleep there I’m happy to announce the launch of ChunkySoup.net version 3.0.

The design is intended to be simple. The site is about words and like the last design I didn’t want technical theatrics to get in their way. I did, however, mix things up just a bit with a right aligned layout that uses some built in flexibility along with background images to hit a balance between filling a screen and line length related readability.

Under the hood there are a few feature tweaks, including hCard and hAtom usage, along with a few server side tweaks that only I’ll ever know about. Additionally, I’m using this update as an opportunity to try Dean Edward’s IE7 library in a live environment to compensate for IE6’s lack of support for min-width, max-width and some selectors.

Two bits of information I picked up today from people attending Microsoft’s MIX06 Conference.

First there’s news of a new IE7 Build Available from MIX06!. oddly called IE7 Beta 2 Preview just like the last public build. Not making the buzz about the product easy are they? The css-discuss wiki is already tracking bugs and implementation details but based on earlier coverage this build should be a good one.
