(…)As a Typekit user, you’ll have access to our library of high-quality fonts. Just add a line of JavaScript to your markup, tell us what fonts you want to use, and then craft your pages the way you always have. Except now you’ll be able to use real fonts. This really is going to change web design(…)

Because the web is a changing and ever evolving organism, it’s important to build sites that can grow with it and easily ride the current instead of drowning when a new wave approaches.

I wanted to append an iframe to my html dynamical using javascript.

My HTML is as follow:

<iframe src="my-url" height="587" width="528" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" align="left">
	<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>

This work fine in all browsers except IE 6 / IE 7 / IE 8

It looks like IE resizes the iframe after loading the content, wich destroyed my layout.
The solution is to set width and height with css and add !important:

iframe {
	width:528px !important;
	height:587px !important;
}

A List Apart wrote an interesting article about Fluid Grids. Enjoy!

Reports of broken sites are an important part of the feedback the IE team receives from the community. When they receive a report of a broken site, they take it and identify the core issue causing the problem. A number of these issues end up being side effects of changes they deliberately made in IE8, but even these are useful. They help the team identify which IE8 changes have the broadest compatibility impact. In this post they share some of these issues with us so we can quickly identify problems affecting our sites when migrating from IE7 to IE8.
