*HTML/CSS CSS Voodoo - The dark art of CSS Hacks
Submitted by matt 48 days ago (more from blog.ginader.de)Since I joined Yahoo! I stopped using Conditional Comments for Performance Reasons (less HTTP Requests). So I needed to get familiar again with the common Hacks for Internet Explorer I had completely forgotten about.

*HTML/CSS How HTML 5 link prefetching can make your site load faster with one line of code
Submitted by matt 99 days ago (more from keyboardy.com)One of the lesser-known jewels of HTML 5 is link prefetching. The idea is to extend the time-honored concept of image preloading to HTML content. The browser automatically downloads the page you specify in a background process as soon as the user’s computer is idle.

It can be applied to any HTML element: a, input, button, span, div, p, h3, etc. Fallback: if CSS3 is not supported, it will display a regular button.

To do so we’re making changes to how :visited works in Firefox. These changes will have some impact on web sites and developers.
