Mike’s Experiments - Main Index

Jump to content list. Now and then I get some wild idea about a script or style sheet trick — purely experimental. Sometimes they turn out good, other times they don’t. That’s your call. I make them for my own use here in my playground. If you want to use them, it’s cool, but you are on your own. I don’t offer support for these experiments. Otherwise, enjoy.

Mike’s Experiments Table of Contents

  1. Apr 2008 - CSS: Plaid Maker - This experiment, admittedly, is kind of lame.

  3. Feb 2008 - CSS: Perspective Text - I discovered this quite by accident but it is neat.
  4. Jan 2008 - PHP: Name Truncater - First and last becomes first only. Could be useful.
