But we may not be truly making the most of the technology that is available to us. For example a lot of designers and developers still rely very heavily on images for web elements, when they code their websites. This may be because it seems quick and easy, or it’s perhaps just the way that we are all used to doing things, afterall using images was once the only way to get gradients, shadows, rounded corners and other simple effects on the web. But there are now very strong arguments to switch over to CSS3. For example reduced page load times, better scalability, and the flexibility to adjust dimensions and attributes without having to launch an image editor. 1.

CSS3 Vendor Prefixes - CSS Snippets. -moz- /* Firefox and other browsers using Mozilla's browser engine */ -webkit- /* Safari, Chrome and browsers using the Webkit engine */ -o- /* Opera */ -ms- /* Internet Explorer (but not always) */ Explanation These browser prefixes are needed as the browsers experiment and test out their implementations of the newer CSS3 properties.
Sometimes all the prefixes are not always needed, but it usually does not hurt to include them, as long as you make sure to put the non-prefixed version last. -moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; -o-border-radius: 10px; border-radius: 10px; There are several reasons why this is important, but I’m not going to get into that here.

If you install it in your site, you can add this code after your other defintions:behavior: url(/PIE.htc); Authentication tutorial - Dropbox. Access Dropbox Using PHP. In this article we’ll explore the Dropbox PHP API by building a simple client for accessing files in a Dropbox account.
The client will perform some basic operations, such as authentication, listing files, and uploading and downloading files. To keep the article short and readable, I’ll keep the included code to a minimum and instead refer you to the full code available on GitHub. To run the code, you’ll need PHP with cURL support and obviously a Dropbox account. Your starting point for anything related to development with Dropbox should be the Dropbox Developers Center where you can find the API reference along with its basic concepts and best practices.
You can also download the official SDKs, but PHP isn’t listed among the supported languages.

Most webmasters are familiar with HTML tags on their pages.
Usually, HTML tags tell the browser how to display the information included in the tag. For example, <h1>Avatar</h1> tells the browser to display the text string "Avatar" in a heading 1 format. However, the HTML tag doesn't give any information about what that text string means—"Avatar" could refer to the hugely successful 3D movie, or it could refer to a type of profile picture—and this can make it more difficult for search engines to intelligently display relevant content to a user.
