I’ve been struggling with an issue in Internet Explorer lately where my fonts were looking pretty ugly and pixelated. As it turns out this is a side effect of using jQuery fades.
The solution I found came courtesy of Malsup.com and requires the addition of the the following code:
jQuery.fn.fadeIn = function(speed, callback) {
return this.animate({opacity: 'show'}, speed, function() {
if (jQuery.browser.msie)
this.style.removeAttribute('filter');
if (jQuery.isFunction(callback))
callback();
});
};
jQuery.fn.fadeOut = function(speed, callback) {
return this.animate({opacity: 'hide'}, speed, function() {
if (jQuery.browser.msie)
this.style.removeAttribute('filter');
if (jQuery.isFunction(callback))
callback();
});
};
jQuery.fn.fadeTo = function(speed,to,callback) {
return this.animate({opacity: to}, speed, function() {
if (to == 1 && jQuery.browser.msie)
this.style.removeAttribute('filter');
if (jQuery.isFunction(callback))
callback();
});
};
Thank god I figured that out. Like the guy with the steering wheel down his pants, it was driving me nuts!

We’ve just designed and launched a brand new website (at a super low, recession busting price!). Check out PlanSi.com where we’ve incorporated some nifty AJAX, while still making the site fully traversable by all incoming search bots.

I came across an interesting article on HighRankings.com while I was thinking about re-writing some site content recently…

The Magical Keyword Density Formula
By Karon Thackston
Keyword Density
When it comes to SEO copywriting, this has to be one of the most talked-about subjects. Why? Because keywords are the very foundation of search engine copywriting. Without keywords we wouldn’t even have SEO copywriting. Since keywords (or more accurately, keyphrases) play such an important role in search engine copywriting, it would make sense to have certain rules and regulations or formulas that should be followed.

I’m a stickler for details, so when I’ve spent countless hours making a site look spiffy, things like that dashed box around links really grind my gears.
So how to get rid of the dashed box? One method I’ve used is to set up my links as follows:
<a hef =”#” onfocus=”this.blur()”>
Works just fine. I’ve also used a jQuery solution where I add the following method :
$(’a').focus(function() {
this.blur();
});
Works like a charm.
