In reaction to my latest article for A List Apart, on FigureHandler, many folks have boldly claimed that this sort of thing should be done server-side. Here are my thoughts on the matter.

First off, let me preface this by saying I just got back to the East Coast after catching a red-eye from San Francisco on Saturday night, so if I seem a bit incoherent, that’s likely why.

Back in 2005, I wrote a piece about IE’s abysmal generation of NAMEd elements via the DOM (which, interestingly enough, has proven to be one of the most popular posts on the blog, pointing to the fact that this is an obvious pain point for many DOM scripters out there).

So, as it turns out, this little app I built for myself is actually useful to other folks.

Those of you who’ve been paying attention to the apps that came out of iPhoneDevCamp (or who are using Applists, AppMarks, or any of the other iPhone web app aggregators/launchers) are probably already aware, but we just launched our first micro-application named “Tipr” last week.

Over the last two years, I’ve been wishing for just one thing in CSS: rotation. There’s been some discussion about it on the W3C lists, etc. but no one has made a solid pitch for it yet.

I was doing a little server cleanup and moved this site’s folder, forgetting to set the new folder up for mod_rewrite, so permalinks have been broken for the last week or so.

I just wrapped my presentation at WebVisions and have posted the slides for my talk, titled “Learning to Love Forms,” up on SlideShare.

There’s been some great discussion surrounding my latest article for A List Apart. It is amazing to see how some people get the idea of progressive enhancement and some just don’t (or perhaps refuse to).
