I would like to develop solid web development skills. I have some back-end knowledge (my weapon of choice is RoR), but I am absolutely terrible with HTML, CSS, Javascript, all the front-end / user interface stuff. Do you know any good resources to develop HTMl/CSS skills? Javascript is more of a programming language, so I don't think it...

Does anyone know of any harm in hiding flash elements that collide with an overlaying DIV? By hiding I mean setting the css visibility to hidden. I understand that it requires a DOM traversal to look for objects and embeds which causes some overhead, but are there any other reasons why people don't do this? This is for sites that don't...
Hey guys! My first question here at so! To the point; I'm pretty newbish when it comes to regular expressions.

So far, I'm using: [#.]([a-zA-Z0-9_\-])* Which is working pretty fine and finds...
I am designing a website and I am trying to have one header with two smaller headers floating next to it, one under each other. I tried doing it here, about halfway down where it says "About" and "what your saying." The about section appears correct because the smaller width pushes the next line down. BUT, on the right I cant get the te...

I have 2 nested divs and outer one has width:100% <div id="#outer" style="width:100%; border:1px"> <div id="#inner" style="width:100%; border:1px; margin:4px"> something inside ... </div> </div> But in this case inner div exceeds width of outer by 8px (margins). How to make inner div to get width of outer div minus 8px margin?...
I was very surprised when I found that a <div> with a size of - say - 200px becomes 220px wide if you give it 10px padding. It just makes no sense to me, the external size should not change when an internal setting does. It forces you to adjust the size every time you tweak the padding. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a reason f...

This is my site: http://portable-ebook-reader.net The search bar at the top is made up of two background images. One is for where you'd type in the search phrase, the second is the actual button to search. My problem is that in Chrome the search button image is 2px too HIGH. But it looks perfect in IE and FF. And if I modify the CSS...
