Targeting :first-child on IE6

This article shows a way to target the :first-child pseudoclass on IE6 using an expression to check if previousSibling is null, like so:

table.mytable td
{text-align: expression(this.previousSibling==null?'center':'left');}


Another way I've found is to use the childNodes of the element's parentNode, which is useful for targeting multiple columns in a table (yes, it's a table, but it's being used to display real tabular data in the case I'm working on), and when the col tag isn't enough to style the columns:

table.mytable td
{text-align: expression(this==this.parentNode.childNodes[0]?'center':'left');}


Content Type Feature Manifest: Field Element

Attributes of the Field Element.  For some reason this isn't the easiest info to find on MSDN, so I'm noting it here.

Exploding logo animation

Aha, this was what I was looking for.  Should be able to adapt it to explode a compressed tag cloud; something like a big-bang effect.

HTML5 Canvas Tag Cloud

HTML5 Canvas Tag Cloud.

Cool.  Now if I can just find something like a tag cloud that scatters when you hover on it.
