O'Reilly Velocity Conference - Amsterdam

My favorite front-end conference has always been O'Reilly's Velocity Conference because the conference series has focused on one of the most undervalued parts of client side coding:  speed.  So often we're so excited that our JavaScript works that we forget that speed, efficiency, and performance are just as important.

The next Velocity event is coming up in Amsterdam, October 28-30.  The best code speed conference is coming to one of the best cities in the world.  Exciting stuff but what's better than a David Walsh Blog discount?!

    Table Cell and Position Absolute

    If you follow me on Twitter, you saw me rage about trying to make position: absolute work within a TD element or display: table-cell element.  Chrome?  Check.  Internet Explorer?  Check.  Firefox?  Ugh, FML.  I tinkered in the console...and cussed.  I did some researched...and I...
