Bad Lunch Combination

Mountain Dew and Bananas… ick.

Its sort of my fault, well okay, completely, but I was starting to doze off in that afternoon lull, so I decided to get a soda… you know, the old coders and caffeine thing. I also decided a banana would go help perk me up too as it has lots of good stuff. A quick Google search shows that the good stuff includes Vitamin B to help calm the nervous system, and fibre to well.. “help”. Which means that they’re the idea fruit for programmers everywhere :-)

Google Chrome; A second look

Following on from my previous post about Google Chrome, Googles WebKit based new browser I think I have some answers to my issues.

The first issue was that the background colours on my select lists were black. It turns out that this is due to the use of the CSS directive background-color: transparent;. Both this and background-color: inherit; appear to cause select elements to have a black background. I don’t see any obvious reason why I had this so I’ve removed it. I suspect that this might have been added for an IE fix – but if that’s the case its okay because I’m already using IE conditional comments to load IE only style sheets.
