CSS Message Boxes for different message types (jankoatwarpspeed.com)

submitted by jankojanko(2555) 4 years ago

Can you believe this: Few days ago I went to my bank to check my credit score with the Credit Bureau. The bank official typed in my personal data and sent a request. Web application responded by displaying a yellow message box with an exclamation icon saying that data processing is still in progress. He checked several more times, but he didn't notice that at one moment the message changed to "Account available". But the message box hasn't changed. He continued to check a few more times and eventually he realized that the request was successful. I don't know what was in the minds of developers and designers who created this application, but it certainly wasn't the user. This poor bank official was really frustrated. I can't imagine what the rest of the application looks like. read more...

2 Easy Steps To Turn Your Blog Into An OpenID Gateway(coderjournal.com)

submitted by zigamorphzigamorph(3319) 4 years ago

Many of you probably have heard of OpenID, but have never had a chance to use it. However, I predict that most of you reading this will have used it by the end of the year. I can make this prediction with an almost 100% certainty because there is a growing movement behind it that has many big players actively buying developing and integrating their platforms with the OpenID protocol. To facilitate my prediction, of most of you using OpenID by the end of the year, I am going to give you 2 easy steps to turn your blog, or any website, in to a OpenID gateway. That will work for OpenID 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 versions of the protocol. read more...

The page is then skewed slightly and a shadow is applied. The second page is skewed slightly and placed behind the first. This process repeats until you end up with a single PNG that looks like a stack of paper was loosely placed on your desk. [Application and Source Code included] read more...
