Browser Image Rendering

I am dynamically sizing a transparent .gif on my web page using JavaScript. The original image size is around 200x200 pixels and it’s typically resized to between 600x600 and 800x800. In IE8 and FF3, the resized image results in a nice looking gradient where the colors appear to be stretched. However, in older browsers such as IE7 and FF...

Forcing ending tags in HTML segments or ignoring missing ending tags

When creating an rss feed that shows a subset of a larger html doc (first x characters) I've run into an issue where some tags begin in the "first x characters" but the ending tag is outside that range. This can cause some fun problems if the consumer of the feed is trying to render the html in the feed in that it can cause unexpected r...

Firefox rendering HTML incorrect sometimes

I developed a css menu and it has worked fine across all browsers in my testing (pure html/css). When we brought the code into our development environment which is running on cakePHP, we started seeing the menu bug out sometimes in Firefox (3.5.2). It happens in no other browser. I checked the source when the bug occurs and this is what ...

Tool to measure Render time

Hi Folks, Is there a tool out there to measure the actual Render time of an element(s) on a page? I don't mean download time of the resources, but the actual time the browser took to render something. I know that this time would vary based on factors on the client machine, but would still be very handy in knowing what the rendering en...

On scaling tags in a tag cloud

I am implementing a tag cloud on a mobile device. The details of data-model etc, are not particularly important here. My question is about the scaling of tags: What is the 'best' expression to map tag frequency to font size?

Funky rendering in IE for HTML + CSS

http://churchcentral.com/rfi.php?site%5Fid=4&division%5Fid=2144 is the page, and IE only is the problem. If you notice, the text at the end of "Step 2", the text "the next page" is repeated. If you highlight either of those portions of text, IE will highlight both of them. Is this a bug in IE? We've seen this happen on the same pa...

VS2010's WPF renders poorly inside a Windows7 VM?

Kevin Hoffman this morning reports that: When put under a virtual machine running Windows 7, VS2010 fails to render things, borders disappear, windows become unusable and the experience is downright awful. On the other hand, when you run VS2010 "bare metal" with no virtualization between it and your video card, everythi...

(iphone sdk) When I use CGAffineTransform (such as CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation) does that actually "move" the frame?

Or does it just change where it's rendered? I have performed this transform and I think the object's frame's origin's y position stays the same. ...

Drawing dashed borders

Imagine you are drawing a map of county borders. You are given a set of polygons, one for each boundary, and you draw each polygon. In places where two counties share a border you just end up drawing the border twice. In the absence of partial transparency effects, and with a solid pen, this is no problem. But, on maps, borders of this...

Why can't I display slashes when using anti-alias dynamic text fields in Flash CS4.

I know what you're thinking - "Dumbass hasn't embedded his fonts" - right?

DIV issue between firefox & chrome

Hello all, I'm still relatively new to CSS, but after lots of Stack Overflow reading, I have figured out how to add "headers" to a panel. Yay, go me.

Rendering large numbers of meshes (objects)

I have a project where I am looking to render a large number of meshes over a 16 square mile landscape. While the meshes are not all unique, there are a lot of them (Probably only 1000 meshes but several million usages of them) I was wondering if there were any papers or (good) resources covering the topic. I have found loads of papers ...
