CSS cross browser debugging
I came across an article on css cross browser debugging, and few points stood out. Often there will be discrepancies between browsers, this can be frustrating but its evident that you are most likely working against css. To solve these issues, the article provides a few good points which ill cover.Bristol IT Mega Meet

How To Make an Image Greyscale in CSS
One common technique used on websites to add interactivity to a page involves rendering an image, or a set of images, in greyscale and switching back in a colour version when the mouse is rolled over.
This is typically achieved by using Javascript to replace the image inside a correctly positioned div. However, with the filter CSS3 tag having recently landed in webkit this is now an effect that it's possible to produce entirely using CSS.
Obviously having this functionality in webkit wouldn't usually be sufficient to roll this method out on the wider web, but fortunately both Gecko and Trident have broadly equivalent functionality to achieve the same effect.

May the 4th isn't only (as Dave so subtly alluded to), Star Wars day, but also the FSF's International Day Against DRM.
DRM can be a huge problem for genuine, paying consumers across a range of media: computer software, music, video and even books. One of my personal bugbears is how difficult HBO make it to access their content online: their close links with the large US cable networks make it absolutely impossible to pay for HBO shows without signing up for a much larger package (in the UK, with Sky). DRM has been extended to such a point that it actively prevents some people for paying to access content.
