There is a pseudo class selector, :indeterminate, whose job it can be to select radio button inputs which are neither selected (have attribute “checked”) or unselected (don’t have that). This is a CSS3 selector, which may be in response to the HTML5 spec, which explicitly allows radio buttons to be in this state:

If none of the radio buttons in a radio button group are checked when they are inserted into the document, then they will all be initially unchecked in the interface, until such time as one of them is checked (either by the user or by script).

Somehow, I inadvertently started a navigation series over the last few weeks. It’s purely coincidence, mostly spawned by emails and such. This week, we’re going to mimic the neat navigation functionality, found on JohnMayer.com. Simply mouse over one of the navigation items to see the effect. However, we’re going to make it a bit more flexible by removing the need for images. We’ll achieve the effect using only CSS and JavaScript.

I like the submit form on Art in my Coffee. It packs a lot of features into a compact space and is clear about what you are able to do and what is required of you. But best of all, I like how the very first thing it asks of you is the hardest part of the whole form.

Pseudo class selectors CSS selectors with a colon preceding them. You are probably very familiar with a few of them. Like hover:

a:hover {
 /* Yep, hover is a pseudo class */
}

As web technologies constantly advance, the skills a developer is expected to have are constantly increasing. Web users are beginning to expect Ajax interfaces, charts and graphs and a whole host of other tricks and features. This means web developers not only have to be skilled with HTML and a server-side programming language such as PHP or Perl, but they now also need to be JavaScript gurus, Flash experts, and skilled graphic designers.
