I am building an online article website. I have a php script called view_article.php that displays articles. The way the page knows what article to show is by using a $_GET variable in the URL. For example: /view_article.php?article_id=1 views article 1 /view_article.php?article_id=2 views article 2 Here's the catch. In IE8 whe...
I am quite often coming across sites that respond to a click on a What's This or a Gallery link by poping up a window in front of the original page, and making the original page go dim.

I have a few reports of people seeing raw html in their browser (instead of their browser interpreting it). It seems to be happen on slow connections.

I am dynamically sizing a transparent .gif on my web page using JavaScript. The original image size is around 200x200 pixels and it’s typically resized to between 600x600 and 800x800.

I have an applet that consome quite a lot of Memory. If a user opens multiple tabs with a webpage that has the applet, they get an OutOfMemoryException.

suppose a client starts a selenium session on an RC server, but at the middle of the session the client "went away". The browser will remain open, and eventually, after enough such dropped sessions, there will be enough "orphan" browsers to slow down the computer. How can I make sure those browsers are closed? Why isn't there a "keep-a...

Based on this it looks like it's hard to get OS version detection absolutely correct. However, I'm looking for something half-decent which warns users of OS X Tiger and below about possible compat issues with my product.
