While we still don’t have a completely universal experience across all browsers, by doubling up the attributes we are ensured that the form input is as accessible as we can make it, while still taking advantage of the visual output that the ‘required’ attribute is starting to render.

John is a teacher of math and a homeschooling parent who offers a radical-sounding proposal: that we cease to require math instruction in middle and high school. He came to this point of view over a number of years, as he attempted (and failed) to convince students that the math they were learning was beautiful, useful, or an imperative component of their future prosperity. When he stopped trying to connect math with students and simple tried to connect with the students themselves, he made a profound discovery - kids are suffering from "math anxiety." If the goal of teaching math is to teach us deductive and inductive reasoning, might games and puzzles be equally effective in developing kids' reasoning skills - and allow them to fulfill their life missions? "We want to reawaken analytical and critical thinking schools that have been anesthetized by the standard curriculum," says John.

I continue to be impressed with what can be accomplished with ARIA - and seeing the work that Google has been putting forth by implementing this functionality in their applications has been incredibly enlightening and encouraging.

You have 4 floated divs, each with a width of 25%, contained within a parent div of width 50px. Here's the question: How wide are each of the divs?

One method that I've been wanting for quite a while now was a simple way to format old JavaScript dates in a "pretty" way. For example "2008-01-28T20:24:17Z" becomes "2 hours ago".

CSS includes 'aural' (or 'speech') properties that allow Web designers and developers control over the way in which HTML (and XML) is synthesised as speech by CSS-aware software. However, these properties enjoy very limited support in current Web browsers, screen readers and in other assistive technology software where the properties may be of benefit.
