Toward the end of April I wrote up my concerns about Opera rendering Webkit prefixed properties and provided several code examples of how that could cause issues for developers. The debate about Opera rendering Webkit seems to have died down and Opera hasn't said anything much beyond their initial…
In February, Opera announced they were planning on rendering some Webkit prefixed properties in their Opera browser. Yesterday, they released further details on this, along with an experimental build of Opera Mobile Emulator that renders Webkit prefixed properties. If you'd like to know why they are…

A couple of months ago, I created a jQuery Vertical Parallax Demo that manipulated CSS to make multiple backgrounds move at different speeds relative to the users movement of the scroll bar. This type of effect is slowly appearing across various websites on the web, achieved using many different…
