Leathal Weapons

October 30, 2008 11:36 by Simon

So there has been a big debate flying around the office about who are the ultimate killing machines.

The nominees were in no particular order: 

James Bond - Jason Bourne - Agent 47 - Leon - The Jackal

After many long discussions we put it to a vote and the results are in:

1st Place: Leon (53 points)

2nd Place: Jason Bourne (48 points)

3rd Place: James Bond (46 points)

4th Place: Agent 47 (41 points)

5th Place: The Jackal (22 points)

Personally I think everyone was wrong and Agent 47 would own everyone! What do you think??

PNG Fix for IE6

August 8, 2008 20:47 by Simon

So, IE6 is a pretty out dated browser and amongst other things doesn't support PNGs. Unfortunately there is still a percentage of people using IE6 so we still need to support it which can be a real bummer when the only way to successfully execute your design is to use PNGs for transparency.

Well there are a few solutions out there which will do the trick, however the one we have recently been using has a few issues which limits it;s abilities, mainly the lack of being able to repeat background PNGs, and a few issues with Z-Index of links.

Today Rob pointed me in the direction of a new PNG fix which is real easy to implement.  You can download the script here.

All you have to do is put the JS file somewhere in your solution along with a blank GIF file and then call the script from any page using PNGs using the following bit of code:

<!--[if lt IE 7]><script type="text/javascript" src="unitpngfix.js"></script><![endif]-->

 As long as all your paths are set correctly you should be up and running!


I stumbled across an issue today when using this script but Rob managed to fix them up pretty easily. The problem I discovered today was as soon as I put a link on an image, the image wouldn't render, but as discovered by Rob all you need to do to fix this is on all your PNGs simply put display:block and everything is back to normal!

So the builders have been into the studio and taken out the wall in the Technical room, now Directors Billy and Al are taking out the remaining bricks where the wall used to be. Keep up the good work lads!

This is quite a nice flash site I found this morning. It is in Russian I think but still looks cool!
