I've been thinking of a dynamic way of creating a CAPTCHA that uses morphing shapes or dynamic colors. My first idea is to have a graphic, flash or something, that gradually changes from, say a square into a sphere. The user will be required to click the button when it becomes spherical enough. Second idea is to have an area of colo...

Yay, silly question time. So I have an untrusted string that I simply want to show as text in an html page. All I need to do is escape the chars '<' and '&' as html entities. The less fuss the better. I'm using utf8 and don't need no other stinking entities for accented letters and so on. Is there anything built-in in ruby or rails, ...

I'm new to creating html pages etc - but am using VS 2008 just for the editing/intellisense capabilities. My problem is I have a pure HTML only website (no ASP.NET) and have a fairly extensive header that has to be used in every page. It's frustrating to change the header parts of the HTML across all pages every single time it changes...

Is there any size limitation for data protocol URL "data" URL scheme values? I'm interested in limitations in popular web browsers. In another words, how long data:image/jpg;base64,base64_encoded_data can be in <img src="data:image/jpg;base64,base64_encoded_data" /> or background-image: url(data:image/jpg;base64,base64_encoded_data)? ...
So I want to make the background of my website two tone. What I mean is have a dark gray in the center, going all the way down, but then have a lighter gray on just the sides. Maybe 80-85% of the pages width. Do would I go about doing this? So what I want is the middle to be one color, and the two sides to be another color. Is there ...
I'm trying to show the characters ☜ and ☞ in my HTML page. Every single browser I've tested displays them properly, except for (inexplicably) Camino. Instead, it shows this: That's what it renders for ☜. The symbol it shows for ☞ is similar. If for some reason you can't see those characters properly, here's the HTML entities I'm usi...

I'm about to begin working on a web page with a complex table-based layout (coded years ago). One of the things I'd like to do is convert the layout to a proper CSS layout with divs and spans. Can you suggest a good approach for tackling problems like this? Should I use a CSS framework like Blueprint? Just get in there and hack on it...

When I hold and drag the mouse to highlight a part of it, for example a paragraph, it changes the forecolor of the text to blue, it does not change the forecolor to white and change the backcolor to blue as it normally does. Does anyone know anything that would cause this, for example, a certain CSS...

Each has their own DIV. I want the controls to take up as ...
