Browser sniffing is messy. There are a million ways to do it but none of them are particularly clean and most involve conditional statements such as "<!--[if condition]> HTML <![endif]-->" for IE and various other CSS selector hacks for other browsers. I've done a fair amount of browser sniffing with jQuery recently and it's really easy, useful for when you need to detect the browser and version number in your javascript. It occurred to me that it would be easy to detect the browser and then put something in the DOM that your CSS could use for conditional formatting. So I wrote a quick script in JavaScript/jQuery. How it works:   All you have to do is include the JavaScript file in the head of the page and it'll attach 2 classes to your body tag to say what browser and what version is being used so you've got 2 levels of granularity. Possible values are... .browserIE .browserIE6 .browserIE7 .browserIE8 .browserChrome .browserChrome1 .browse

http://www.tvidesign.co.uk/blog/improve-your-jquery-25-excellent-tips.aspx Query is awesome. I've been using it for about a year now and although I was impressed to begin with I'm liking it more and more the longer I use it and the more I find out about it's inner workings. I'm no jQuery expert. I don't claim to be, so if there are mistakes in this article then feel free to correct me or make suggestions for improvements. I'd call myself an "intermediate" jQuery user and I thought some others out there could benefit from all the little tips, tricks and techniques I've learned over the past year. The article also ended up being a lot longer than I thought it was going to be so I'll start with a table of contents so you can skip to the bits you're interested in.

CSS positioning is quite easy. I guess no-one explained it plain and simple before. I want to be crystal clear about the subject so I decided to separate the post into two parts. The first part (this post) will focus on the four types of CSS positioning:  static, relative, absolute and fixed . The second part will focus on the  float  property that is obviously related to an element's position in our site. Let's get started. http://thecssblog.com/tutorials/stopping-the-css-positioning-panic-part-1/
