    WebKit-based browser for Windows

    Safari – or at least, something not unlike it – may be coming to the Windows platform. Swift is a new browser for Windows, based on Apple’s WebKit rendering engine.

    Swift is in the very earlier stages of development. Practically embryonic, you might even say. The repository was created a mere three weeks ago. And, as the Web Standards Project warns, “it’s marked as 1.0pre alpha, and it is very much an alpha: very rough-looking UI, no scrollwheel support, pathetic form controls and I’ve had reports from colleagues that some folks can’t even get it to install.”

    Nevertheless, Swift looks promising! I recommend keeping a close watch on this project. It could be very helpful to developers who need to ensure that their sites (particularly those with heavy scripting) function across browsers.

    CSS Sticky Footer

    If you are looking for a good pure CSS footer solution, look no further. CSS Sticky Footer works for over 50 Windows, Linux, and Mac-based browsers. Included in this list are the latest releases of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Internet Explorer.

    CSS Sticky Footer is developed by Steve Hatcher, and is based on the Exploring Footers article from A List Apart, and takes suggestions from Cameron Adams’ footerStickAlt, and The Pure CSS Footer example from lwis.net. It applies a clear fix hack to keep the footer in place in Google Chrome and other browsers where the footer would float up when you resized the window. The clearfix also fixes problems that might occur if you are using floats to create two or three column layouts.

    Far from being perfect, it does have its share of issues. The first one deals with margins, which can easily be solved by changing margins to padding instead. The second one deals with the use of relative font sizes such as % or em, something which many of the more advanced CSS gurus like me are very much fond of. The author suggests using px instead, which many find unacceptable.

    To get started, check out the HowTo page for details on how to implement the CSS Sticky Footer.

    Conditional CSS – not just for IE

    It’s true that IE is the most notorious browser for inconsistencies, incompatibilities, and bugs. But the fact remains that no two browsers are created equal, and while IE is the most likely to cause headaches in the course of development, other browsers can be culprits, as well.

    If you run into a major roadblock, Rafael Lima’s CSS Browser Selector could be your saving grace. A tiny bit of Javascript (less than 1kb!) determines the user’s browser and creates an accordingly-named class. From there, it’s simply a matter of applying the styles that were written for that particular browser. For example:

    .ie .example {
    background-color: yellow
    }
    .gecko .example {
    background-color: gray
    }
    .opera .example {
    background-color: green
    }
    .konqueror .example {
    background-color: blue
    }
    .webkit .example {
    background-color: black
    }
    .example {
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    background-color: brown;
    }


    The colored box on the CSS Browser Selector page gets the point across better than anything else, though. Open the page in a few different browsers to see for yourself.
