Flash producing SVG

Helen Triolo has written a small Flash application that produces a SVG path. Pretty simple but an interesting experiment into how SVG can enrich Flash.

I just spent an hour to implement a WebRequest/WebResponse pair to handle the data: protocol. You know, that can be used to have your image data inline right in your xlink:href or src attribute. It’s a requirement in SVG and useful in many other cases. The protocol is defined in RFC 2397. I will package and release it on protocol7 tomorrow. Now it’s really time to go to bed for me.

Tantek has written two essays on how to use the class attribute in HTML. Both are excellent and a must read.

Fun with cite

Mark Pilgrim has been having a lot of fun using the cite element in HTML to automatically produce a citation index for his blog (he also posted a follow up with some comments). Pretty clever as usual. And, as we’re all used to by now this of couse started a huge discussion on sementics and HTML.

CSS in .NET
icon1 Niklas | icon2 Tags: , , . | icon4 12 29th, 2002| icon3No Comments »

I used uploaded the last parts of the CSS support for SharpVectorGraphics. It’s based on a subclassed XmlDocument which adds support for looking up style rules from external stylesheets, style elements, user and useragent stylesheets. It supports the cascade rules of CSS 2.1, most of the selectors in CSS 3 and the majority of the CSS 2.1 DOM. There are lots of things to improve but it got all the basics. No package yet so you have to get it from the CVS. Hopefully there will be a package in a few days to play with. Feel free to email me any feedback, bug reports or feature requests :-)

Jabber + Mono = true

The rumour was true. Tipic and Ximian today anoounced that Tipic will use Mono for their Jabber products. This is quite exciting since both Jabber and .NET is close to my heart. I will sure follow this as closely as possible.
