    IE7 Scrolling Is Slower If Hover Pseudo CSS Classes Are Used on the Page

    This has been something like a tale of the unexpected for me. A client recently reported a problem with scrolling being slow in IE when the mouse wheel is used. It took about two afternoons of testing different scenarios and head scratching, and this is where we got: it seems that if a :hover pseudo CSS class is used on the web page, scrolling in IE7 becomes slower, even if the CSS selector, which contains the :hover pseudo class does not select anything, i.e. the CSS rule is not relevant to any of the web page elements.

    Image Centering Techniques You Should Know About

    The following new code library entry demonstrates two alternative techniques for centering an image inside a RadAjaxLoadingPanel. Both techniques should not be something new for CSS-savvy devs, however, we receive queries for them from time to time, so it will be good to have an example available online: How to Center Image In a RadAjaxLoadingPanel  ...

    Survey: What do you want to see in upcoming RadTips episodes?

    It's been a while since I posted my last RadTips episode. In fact, with recent conference travel, the new Telerik.com web site, and preparations for the Q3 2008 release I've hardly had time to get anything recorded. But now that all that is in the past it's time to get rockin' with some fresh content. For those of you who don't know, RadTips is a screencast I do on a regular basis which provides quick tips that you can use with the RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. Each episode focuses on a specific RadControl feature and is fairly short (approximately 5 - 10 minutes),...
