Thaya: Good one On the same note, font-style, font-weight, font-size, font-family (and more) can also be shortened into one “font” property.

aqhong: You are right. In IE6 and 7, if a DOCTYPE is defined, it should have no problems. I brought this up because I happen to be working with embeddable widgets code lately and I have to generate HTML that works the same way on any web page outside of my control. (i.e. potentially no DOCTYPE declaration)

You should probably mention the fact that the IE box model bug only applies to IE5 and earlier (assuming you’re in standards mode), whose market share is currently at around 1%. Personally, I think that’s low enough that I don’t even bother with workarounds or hacks for it anymore.

If you really want to be efficient, why not just do:

a.linkicon {
background: transparent no-repeat scroll center left;
padding: 0 0 0 20px;
}

You get to save those unnecessary bytes. /sarcasm

I have been working more deeply in JavaScript and more frontend things lately, so there are actually a couple more topics I’d like to be covering in that area.

However, after that, I’ll definitely revisit PHP with MVC again. I also noticed that in my traffic stats, that particular one was a popular article. Good to hear feedback directly from the audience.

In addition, I have also learned much myself ever since I’ve written that article, which is almost a year ago by now. I do have a lot more things to share about it!

I’d love to see some kind of extension to your previous PHP MVC posts. I’ve always found my code gets messy when deciding what method to use to lay out my files, should they access each .php file seperately? or use some kind of GET variable.

Thanks for the comment maclof! It’s encouraging to read comments like yours. As always, I’ll keep writing articles that I think could bring new information and be useful for other developers.
