I’ve been playing around with CSS3PIE the last couple of days; it allows support for various CSS3 features in Internet Explorer 6 to 8, such as box-shadow, border-radius and linear-gradient. This post shows how to prevent IE from downloading the PIE.htc file twice on the first page request, and how to prevent IE9+ from downloading it at all.

This tutorial post shows how to have a footer appear at the bottom of a webpage using HTML and CSS even if the content for the page is short and doesn’t fill the whole height of the browser window. When then browser is resized it stays at the bottom and moves with the window, but will not overlap the content area. If the content is higher than the browser window then the footer will remain underneath it.

The character symbols for copyright and registered trademark are part of the HTML specification (those are the C and R in the circle symbols) but the superscript TM symbol to denote trademark is not.

However it’s a nuisance to have to do this to all tables and it’s easier to do this with CSS. This post looks at how to remove the default padding and spacing from an HTML table with CSS.
