[...] In the comments for Eric Meyer’s AEA Boston followup post was a reference to the “universal selector” code that I mentioned last time. This reminds me, I need to look closer at using the YUI Grids CSS next time I do a layout. His presentation on day 2 covered the use of CSS selectors for debugging in IE7, as well as Dean Edwards IE7 scripts. [...]

Hi Eric,

I finally have a quiet afternoon to look over my notes and companion “slides” from AEA in Boston. I am particularly interested your second presentation about fixing bugs in ie6 now that ie7 has been released. Since I raised my hand as a web designers who uses the underscore for hacking (bad advice when I did a web search for help!), I need to not only go back to my old sites and fix them, but built them correctly from this day on.
However, I am truly struggling with exactly how to do this with the Dean Edwards javascript (which I downloaded) and the conditional statement (from the presentation). Maybe it is because I have an art background, and no programming skills whatsoever, but something is prohibiting me from taking the leap from my notes to my real world html page. I searched the web for help, but nothing is out there.
I know you are busy, but is there anyway you can do one of your step-by-step approaches that show exactly how to do this? I know where the statement goes (one down), but I fall apart after that.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for whatever help you can give me.
Robin
(P.S. I have AND read all your books)

Eric,

AEA sounds fantastic. Do you have any plans to bring it to the UK? Or would you be competing with FOW[AD] and @Media? :D

Eric, the conference was truly amazing. I’ve attended several (though this was the first on web development), and never before were the speakers so personable and so available for conversation througout the conference. The best part of AEA Boston for me was getting to meet so many accomplished designers and developers in person, and to see how just genuinely nice everyone is.

And you gave out the best swag, hands down!

I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for such a wonderful conference. This was my first time ever to a tech conference, and I am so glad that AEA Boston was my first :) It was so informative and helpful, I enjoyed all the sessions, and I am glad it was a one track so I wouldn’t have to choose between sessions. I was fighting off jet lag during the morning sessions, but there was no way I would miss a session so I did my best to stay awake. At first I was a bit intimidated by you all, but you guys seemed so nice and friendly and well, I love this community even more :) Thanks for everything.

Hey Eric, no seriously, thank *you* for the fantastic event. It was great to get to meet you and see all the presentations. Truly a world class line-up. (I’ll nervously consider the “East” side of Cleveland next time I’m on the “West” side visiting my sister, lest there be a knife fight of some kind — ;-)

So, I’ve heard this from so many people — but the single track format was very cool, keeping tough decisions about what to see and what not to out of the air and enabling great discussions with people that you just met about prior sessions. Also, it draws you into sessions you might ordinarily not attend.

Keep up the awesome work! I couldn’t agree more that it was wonderful to see so many believers in true craftsmanship collected in one place.

The CS3 drawing was a welcome end to an awesome two days for sure!

You are a fabulous speaker! I so enjoyed your segments. It sounds like you had as good as time as the attendees. On the attendee only email link to your presentations your first presentation is not coming up and I so want to study your tables and code, I have quite a few projects that I would like to use it on. Any chance of getting that up on the AEA site or email it me.

Thanks for the insight and inspiration!

Sorry about that. It’s opened up now and I added it to the AEABoston2007 group.

Eric, I had the pleasure of sitting next to you right after your presentation Monday morning. It was great to meet you and Jeffrey and Dan Cederholm and the rest of the crew. I’ve told many people that the event was outstanding – from the content to all the great food that was always available. If only every conference was this good!

Eric, I didn’t get a chance to talk to you at the event, but I wanted you to know that I thoroughly enjoyed the conference and came away with a renewed interest in what I do everyday. Your presentations especially were amazing for me. Thank you!
