kill trailing spaces with TextMate | 28 July 2010 9:47 am

I hate untidy code, and always work with invisibles showing. Regardless, sometimes spacecruft slips through. Here’s two ways to fix that:

  1. custom language bundle that highlights the offending space
  2. macro using the built-in strip-trailing-spaces command on save

I’ve gone with the first option: I think it’s nicer to keep yourself in the habit of watching your code, rather than relying on the software. Also, as the author notes, it blows away any bookmarking and code folds. If you’re working with large files and hit save at least every five minutes like I do, well… that sucks as much as Coda’s lack of code folding does.

Facebook CSS workaround number infinity | 16 June 2010 9:11 am

If you’ve ever had to deal with any development for Facebook, you’ll remember that they strip out browser hacks from your CSS–fun for you, when the client OMG needs something to work in IE6. They also strip out the more forward-y browser-specific styles, while using them liberally themselves.

Their CSS, which was putting an unfortunate border on our buttons:

uiButton,
.uiButtonSuppressed:hover,
.uiButtonSuppressed:active,
.uiButtonSuppressed:focus { -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); }

Here’s how to get around that:

.uiButton:after {
content: "OMGFACEBOOKIHATEYOU";
display: block;
color: #fff;
margin-top: 44px; /* height of your button */
border-top: 1px solid #fff; }

Ta-da.
