Does neowin use jQuery and CSS


Question

This is mainly a question for the developers at neowin, is your drop down menu jQuery and CSS driven or just CSS. The only reason I ask is because I just started using jQuery and I have a tutorial which shows you how to create a smooth mouse over menu system and CSS and it looks awesome. Although yours has rounded corners, this has square but the principle is the same. jQuery is easy to learn.

I don't think Neowin uses jQuery, but it uses some sort of JavaScript Framework.

Rounded corners is simple to do in CSS, but each standards-compliant browser has it's own version of it in CSS. Technically the code is not valid, but if it works, it works. It's the border-radius property. Mozillas version is -moz-border-radius, Webkit's version is -webkit-border-radius, and I believe Operas is just border-radius.

I believe if Neowins menu was pure (X)HTML and CSS, it would not work in older browsers like IE6.

.. and using different fonts in posts is cool. Might do it more. >.>

IPB uses prototype, but for everything else we use jQuery.

However, the dropdown menus are simple CSS. At most, we have added some transitional effects from jQuery, but it's not used for the basic dropdown functionality.

The non-prefixed border-radius property works in Webkit too I believe, same for the IE9 previews. It's just Firefox that doesn't support the non-prefixed version, but allegedly Fx4 will.

box-shadow is a mess at the moment, if anything it'll probably end up with either IE9 getting the prefix, or it's implementation changing in either Gecko or WebKit.

Edit: Ideally the prefix shouldn't be dropped until the module it's in is in the CR (Candidate Recommendation) stage, unfortunately it's on a per module basis, so while border-radius is pretty much done, box-shadow isn't.

Thank you, I have only just started using jQuery, and it's the first time I have ever heard of it until yesterday prototype has been around for a while but jQuery is relatively new. jQuery saves a lot of time in coding, its like cutting corners but it's quite powerful.

Not sure why you think jQuery is new, but I am still learning more and better ways of using it. Lovely framework.

Same here, its by far and away the best "general purpose" JS library out there. Its saved me countless hours of coding.

...

Just in case anybody was wondering what I meant by that, here's some images.

On the left is Gecko, WebKit is in the middle and on the end is the IE9 preview. The spec doesn't really say what the blur radius actually does/effects, so no browser is wrong or right.

    • Microsoft shares Defender anti-virus update for new Windows 11/10 ISOs by Sayan Sen Following the one for Lumma last month, Microsoft has also published a new Defender update for Windows 11/10/Server installation images this month. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.431.54.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 (Enterprise, Pro, and Home editions), Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.431.54.0 was released this past week adds threat detections for various backdoor exploits, trojans, among others. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.431.155.0 at the time of writing.
