PHP Advent 2011: Cross-Origin Ajax with CORS
I've had the honor of writing for this year's PHP Advent, blessing you all about Cross-Origin Requests with CORS:
There's no doubt that Ajax is one of the most exciting, useful, and necessary web technologies available to front-end developers. Unfortunately, it's also one of the most restrictive — especially when it comes to gathering content from other domains. Web developers are nothing if not persistent, so we've come up with a variety of ways to get around cross-origin restrictions, including JSONP, server-side proxies made with PHP, ProxyPass proxying, Flash transports, creative iFrame uses, and more. What many developers don't know is that there's a W3C specification called Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, or CORS, which provides a standard for cross-origin Ajax requests with minimal hassle.
That's my Christmas gift to you all!

![MooTools: Set Style Per Media]()
I'd bet one of the most used MooTools methods is the setStyle() method, which allows you to set CSS style declarations for an element. One of the limitations of MooTools' setStyle() method is that it sets the specific style for all medias.
The link to your post isn’t working ;) Nice article BTW, but 10 seconds too late! I just figured out that this should solve my problem with the help of our friend Google :( Nice to read that this is the way things will work for sure.
