A well known problem with Java Applets in webpages is that browsers ignore the z-index of the applet tag vs. other components in the page. No matter how you position and z-index elements in the page, applets will draw themselves on top of everything. There is a workaround, known as the iframe shim, is described here: http://www.oratran...

What's the "correct" semantic way to specify image height and width? In CSS... width:15px; or inline... <img width="15" ? CSS seems like the right place to put visual information. On the other hand, few would argue that image "src" should not be specified as an attribute and the height/width seem as tied to the binary image data...
Let's say I have a method that takes a little to long to finish to go without any user feedback at all. In my case it's sorting the rows in a table element (all in the DOM; only takes too long if there are a lot of rows), but it might do anything. I want to show the "progress" cursor while it runs. Here is what I have currently, but I...

In Django / Pinax, I've come across the login form which starts like this : <form class="login" method="POST" action=""> It works perfectly well. So I assume that either some java-script or something in the Django framework is putting the value into the action attribute. So my questions ; a) How does Django insert the action? b) Wh...

I'd like the image to bleed into the container div.imgborder and i'd like the bleeding to be semitransparent (like an opaque glass effect).

I came across an interesting problem today. I have a text email I'm sending from a Web page.
