abbr formatting

haml (easily transformed to css) snippet to format abbrs in a proper manner - you can still type them in ALL CAPS, but they will be displayed in Titlecase and small-caps. If you're using this, you're probably also using a custom face via @font-face, so you might want to explicitly declare the small-caps and lowercase variants of the typeface - the browser often fucks up auto-small-caps.

also, not tested in internet explorer. nothing I write is.

abbr
  :display inline-block
  :text-transform lowercase
  :font-variant small-caps
  
  &:first-letter
    :text-transform uppercase

PNG-24 Alpha support for IE

What so much webdesigners dream about!
Get alpha channel on web, that's possible with PNG-24 images and this trick.
BE CAREFUL: that seem to work only for 10 images per page.

  # Display PNG-24 images with alpha channel on IE
  # BE CAREFUL: with this trick, only 10 PNGs seems to be supported by IE
  # Don't forget to set the size of your div
  def transpng(id, png)
    '<style type="text/css">
      <!--
        ' + id + ' {
          background-image: url(' + png + ');
        }
      -->
    </style>
    <!--[if IE]>
    <style>
      ' + id + ' {
        background-image: none;
        filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src=' + png + ', sizingMethod=\'scale\');
      }
    </style>
    <![endif]-->'

tip: Database, For 'Event occurred' use bool from date.

From: http://jamis.jamisbuck.org/articles/2005/12/14/two-tips-for-working-with-databases-in-rails
First tip: I’ve found recently that if I have a boolean field in the database that is being used to mark whether some event occurred (referrals.pending, or feeds.subscribed) it is often more effective to make the field a datetime and record the moment that the event occurred. Then, a NULL can be used to indicate that the event has not yet occurred. Thus, you have referrals.applied_at with a method on Referral like this:
  def pending?
    applied_at.nil?
  end


This gives you the capability down the road to not only report whether the event occurred, but how frequently over various periods of time.
