Creating equal-height columns with CSS is sometimes a bear. But who needs the hassle of faux columns, “clear” divs and the rest? With this bit of jQuery, you can easily equalize the heights of any group of elements. […]
Welcome to the new and improved CSS Newbie! This new version of the site has been a long time in the making, so I’m very excited to finally have it ready for its grand unveiling. There are a few changes to the site that I’d like to point out. […]
A while back when I was working on developing the jQuery popout tutorials, I ran across a significant and annoying bug in Internet Explorer 6 and 7.

Make your ads too annoying, and you’ll lose readership. But make them too unobtrusive, and you might as well not even have them at all. Today I’d like to start an article series of three parts, the result of which will be a popout-style, jQuery-based box like the one pictured above, which I think strikes a nice balance on the obtrusion-scale.
