cross-browser

I'm testing a new site, and I have a div with background-color: #bbf6bb; That seems innocuous enough to me. And yet, on my MacBook Pro, the color looks very different in Firefox 3.6 vs. Safari 4. In Safari, it's the color I'd expect from the hex value: a pale green. In Firefox, there's a definite bluish tint, making the color turquoise. I'm aware of color inconsistencies that result from different treatment of images across browsers, but in pure CSS? Really? I'm guessing that Firefox trying to correct for my display in hopes of delivering better consistency with print, but I'd much rather have

I'm trying to handle some logic on before unload and I don't want that logic to run if the user is reloading the page or going back. I've set up something like this. window.onbeforeunload = function(e) { if(window.event && window.event.clientX){ //IE //some logic } else if (e.currentTarget.performance.navigation.type === e.currentTarget.performance.navigation.TYPE_RELOAD) { // another logic } else if(e.currentTarget.performance.navigation.type === e.currentTarget.performance.navigation.TYPE_BACK_FORWARD){ // yet another logic } } I have other code to handle refresh and such from keyboard input

See my JSfiddle to see what currently happens I have some divs with content of varying height. The width is always the same. Each row should contain two columns, but I would like the start of each div in a row to be at the same height. Contrast this to say the jQuery Masonry plugin, where all the "bricks" are squeezed together to remove spaces. What's a good, cross-browser way to achieve this? My idea was to clear the float for every 2nd nth child, but I believe IE doesn't support this? I believe I could also do something with jQuery, but is it tidy? Will I have learnt anything in order to fix

I have a .NET web service. It serves AJAX requests from web users. I would simply like to know how to automatically get the user's timezone... Not current time offset, but the actual timezone - like, Central Standard Time is -5:00 right now, but Eastern Standard Time will be -5:00 once daylight savings is over. I want to differentiate these users. I would also like to know how to get their culture settings ("en-US", etc.) so I can render DateTimes and numbers from my web service to their specific preferences. Any Javascript or .NET solution will work. Thanks. Note: Asking the user would be a
