ColourMod :: Dynamic (DHTML) Color Picker

I’m no usability guru like Jakob Nielsen, but I think I’ve got him beat in the design department. Which begs the question: When does ugly (or bad design) start making a page less useable?
I could use every single usability tip off of UseIt.com but still have an ugly website. From my perspective, […]

Teevio.net has finally reached 5,000 unique visits since its inception on March 12, 2004. That’s about 14 new visitors per day.
It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since I started Teevio.net. It is also hard to believe that I’ve gone through four designs, seven or eight if you […]

Teevio.net is pleased to announce the release of StyleMod 1.0. A dynamic CSS Modifer script.
I’ve been talking about creating this script over the past couple of weeks and really wasn’t expecting to have a fully functional version out this early.
StyleMod 1.0 is truly an amazingly, simple Javascript function. All that needs to be […]

Jakob Nielsen’s website, Useit.com, has a lot of interesting stuff. But I realized that he does not have an RSS feed. Now this is interesting considering that he is all about useability.
He does have a newsletter that gets sent every two weeks letting people know of his latest postings. But email newsletters […]

The key to full user customization is to be able to keep track of the users preferences on the fly as they modify the css properties. This allows a user to come back to the website with their changes still retained.

I came across Strange Banana the other day and was intrigued by the computer-generated webpage design that they created.
I’m not saying that these designs are good, which they aren’t. What else could you expect from a randomized style sheet applied to a generic template? What I do find interesting is the concept […]

Part 1 :: Part 3
Here is a concise list of known differences about how the different browsers read style sheets. I will update this list as I run into more differences:
Internet Explorer

All HTML tags that have styles applied to them are read as UPPERCASE (A, P, H1, BODY, etc.).
If hover is applied to an […]

You could easily rip photos off of Teevio.net, but why do something unethical when you could purchase them legally. Teevio.net is now making any photo that is posted, available for purchase at a mere $10.00 a piece.
For $10.00 you will get my original, unedited, hi-res (typically 2048×1536px) digital photo, in .jpg format.
You can use […]

Part 2 :: Part 3
Modifying the Css properties of a website on the fly is nothing new to the web design world. The easiest way is to use Javascript to change the style applied to an element that contains an ID. Using getElementById() this is easily accomplished.
Unfortunately, this is limiting. To modify […]

Teevio.net has just been outfitted with font size changing. You can now change the blog font size dynamically to whatever size you want it to be.
This is handy because lately I have found myself moving ever closer to my monitor that I startle myself by bumping my nose on the monitor. I can’t […]
