<WEB4096>, the minimalistic web-art competition, is accepting submissions, which can be a combination of HTML/JS, Flash and Java. Maximum size is 4096 bytes, of course.

The competition didn't quite get global exposure when it first ran a year ago, but if Sylloge's 5k contest was any indication, they should expect a LOT of submissions this time. Spread the word... [via CFXweb]

Antenna mentions a very useful and simple trick to create clickable labels for form-elements in Internet Explorer (something I had up until now been using Javascript-hrefs for):

<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" ID="foo"> <LABEL FOR="foo">click me</LABEL>

I'd like to expand on that and recommend adding LABEL { cursor:hand; } to your style sheet definition so people realise they can actually click on the labels.

April 2000

Here's a list of all final entries of the 5K Contest, for the first time including the names of the makers. A lot of good stuff in there...

Rather than mentioning my own 5k-entry once again (try and find it, it's in there), I thought I'd link to some other nice/interesting ones:
- 22: neat drawing tool
- 26: 'we are friend, love us not squishing'
- 33: 5k magazine
- 70: Sierpinsky carpet
- 110: Battleship!
- 168: auto-scrolling Gettysburg address
- 187: haikus over mount Fuji
- 209: intuitive block-stacker

Lots of interesting stuff to read at Joel on Software. Reading thru his insightful articles on usability and UI-design I find it surprising that his (relatively lengthy) pages use a bright white background - not very pleasant for one's eyes, especially late at night. But that's nothing a little Javascript bgcolor-changer can't fix.
