  This week I stumbled upon the new (and very cool) Microsoft Translator Widget .

• Constraining Tables with CSS

  Have you ever wanted to display data in a table but limit the size of the rows and columns within the table?

• Troubleshooting Layout Problems with Safari

  I discovered a rather nasty UI bug last week with the new portal we are building for a customer. Unfortunately, the layout issue only occurred in the Safari browser.

• DataNavigateUrlFormatString Does Not Allow "javascript:"

  I encountered an interesting bug last Friday with the ASP.NET HyperLinkField control. To understand the scenario, think of the typical "view detail" feature when showing summary data in a table.

• Add Rooler to Your Web Development Toolbox

  This past May, one of my colleagues notified me of a new tool called "Rooler" that allows you to easily measure anything displayed on your screen.

• KB 896861 and "Microsoft Fix it"

  A couple of days ago, I rebuilt one of my development VMs for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007.

• Formatting Code for My Blog

  It occurred to me this morning that while I previously shared some details on how I manage my MSDN blog , I've never shared my method for formatting code for the Web. Actually, calling it "my method" is definitely a bit of a stretch. I certainly didn't Read More...

• Expression Web, My MSDN Blog, and (Now) Team Foundation Server

  In case you haven't picked it up from some of my previous posts, I became somewhat of a "Web standards zealot" back in 2006 while creating a "community site" for a local organization of mental health professionals and attorneys that help children and Read More...

  This post continues on the original post for my simple, but highly effective approach to logging and the follow-up post which introduced configuring logging for console applications .

• Internet Explorer 8 Upgrade

  In case you missed the announcement, Internet Explorer 8 was released last week. I'll be honest, I tried one of the early betas of IE8 on a VM a long time ago, but I didn't spend a lot of time with it because it always seemed like there was some more Read More...

• Fessing Up About Firefox

  My name is Jeremy, and I'm a Firefox user. There, I've said it. I know, I know...what am I thinking, a Microsoft employee telling the world that Internet Explorer isn't the end all, be all browser for everyone?! Well, first let me clarify a little. I Read More...
