I don’t know about you, but I don’t like to type alot if I don’t have to. I feel like I have so much to type with blogs, emails, texting, and word documents.
If only there was a way to create or use I should say, shortcuts to allow you the designer to code a little bit faster. So below are some shortcuts that I will show both the long way and the short way both work just as well. Some designers obviously have their preferred methods.
1. My first example isn’t really a css shortcut it is however just a fine example of how css is a “shortcut” for using an older method of creating content margins and padding.
<body marginwidth=”0″ marginheight”0″ topmargin=”0″ leftmargin=”0″ bottommargin=”0″ rightmargin=”0″>
The same thing “said” in CSS:
*body{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
Now that is brief. The asterisk is optional and just creates a tag to apply to the body sitewide. Which can be very handy. Let’s move on to boxes now.

Just a great first step in understanding where script fits into html. The two examples can be found at w3schools.com which is a great place to learn everything about web design for free. Due to copyright issues and their rules I cannot embed the code here.
Please check it out though, it is a very short lesson. They are labeled example one and two.

A browser upstart like Google’s Chrome must have some cleaving edge if it’s to hack its way into the marketshare predominated by Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, and to a far lesser extent, Firefox. Since Google Chrome doesn’t yet have the add-on capabilities that have earned Mozilla’s browser rabid support from open-source circles as well as from the browsing community as a whole, Chrome must best it in some other skill. Google’s browser is certainly headed towards supporting add-ons, but what it can deliver now is speed.

I just downloaded google chrome just to test it out and see if it suits me. The same day I ran into this article. In it I don’t see alot of confidence it where google is at browser wise. I am no expert but they did start late and look to be pushing stuff back.
In breaking news IE still crashes and frustrates its users. So when I am not using firefox web tools or add- ons I will use chrome as my browser. Its fast and screen view is large. Here is the article I came across.
A new developer version of Chrome takes some significant strides to adding the top-requested feature–the ability to accommodate extensions that customize what Google’s browser can do–but programmers also pushed back support for a collection of significant advanced Web features.
Google Chrome 2.0.180.0 emerged Tuesday night for people willing to try the developer preview version. The new version installs some of the plumbing necessary to support the feature, according to the release notes.
“The extensions posse would like to point out that as of today’s dev channel release, extensions are starting to be a bit more useful. We can now put little bits of UI (user interface) in the chrome of Chrome, and some of the APIs (application programming interfaces) are starting to come together,” said Google programmer Aaron Boodman in a mailing list post Tuesday. “There is still quite a ways to go, but if you’re interested in building extensions for Chrome, this might be a good time to start taking a look.”
Extensions are a big advantage Mozilla’s Firefox has over rival browsers, not just because the browser supports them but because thousands are available.

Google also updated its extensions how-to page and provided some sample Chrome extensions. To use extensions, people must launch the browser through the command line with the “–enable-extensions” option.
Extensions work has begun. Cleeki has a Chrome extension, for example, that lets people select a word and then perform various actions with it such as searching for it without leaving that page.
The new version also lets you allow pop-ups from a specific Web site, fixes a few bugs, and upgrades to the latest versions of two major components, WebKit for rendering Web pages and V8 for handling JavaScript.
At the same time, though, it looks like more waiting for fans of a handful of new features arriving in HTML 5, the upcoming revision to the Hypertext Markup Language that’s used to describe Web pages. Chrome developers had planned support for several HTML 5 features in a forthcoming main incarnation of Chrome, version 2.1, but now they’ve been pushed back to 3.0. (That’s still a ways out: Even version 2.0 has yet to arrive in Google’s mainstream “stable” version of Chrome.)
The HTML 5 features pushed back include the following:
• Local storage, technology for storing information on a person’s computer. That’s good for using your Web-based e-mail system while offline, storing browser extension preferences, and other more sophisticated aspects of Web usage.
• Video support that permits easier embedding of video on Web pages and better integration than is possible with current video technology such as Adobe Systems’ Flash.
• Web workers, which let a browser perform processing chores in the background. This technology enables more sophisticated Web applications that can get work done without bogging down the user interface.
A Chrome programmer noted the change in a terse note Wednesday. “Moving out of Mstone:2.1 (milestone 2.1) as there just isn’t enough time to work on this issue,” said a Chrome programmer in a status update note about the local storage feature on Wednesday.
