There’s a nice write up over at Mezzoblue about using HTML with languages other than English . The CSS Zen Garden has been updated to be available in multiple languages; these are the notes on the experience that Dave made.

A good demo of complex CSS layout which is compatible with most new browsers. We like.

I now have seemingly reliable mouse gestures in Firebird. I never seemed to be able to get them working correctly (well, to my definition of correctly) before. However, the nightly on their site works fine so far. I’m using them in Win/Firebird now, I shall try them in Lin/Fb when I get on the net. This date is set for August 9th, when the nice cable company will come and give us the internet. At last!

This looks like an interesting new set of articles. They are going to be about simplifying everyday web tasks for users. The first one is about showing users where they have made errors when filling out forms. Kalsey has also done some other very useful things, such as pure HTML list nested tabs and dotted CSS borders in IE that are worthwhile reads.

Damn. I just wrote some nice RegExs to parse the links and stuff much more reliably from my input. Then I upload and what do I find? The ASP on this server doesn’t support lookahead and lookbehind constructs, i.e. (?=……) and such. This is pretty annoying as it makes some of the parsing much cleaner than otherwise. I’ve dropped an email to our host to ask them to install an updated JavaScript lib, but until then I’ll just have to be careful with my puctuation.
