I've been wanting to program for the Plan 9 operating system for a while. I'd really like to play around with a web app there. Of course, the only language I know for Plan 9 is C, and that doesn't seem ideal for web development. I also understand that it doesn't run apache or mysql either. What is the best way to start coding web apps o...
I am displaying pages from an external site (that I own) in an iframe in one of my pages, and it's fine except when viewed in Opera with the browser reduced down (not widescreen), when the iframe shrinks and squashes the content.

If you have several DIVs on a page, you can use CSS to size and float them, and move them round a little...but I can't see a way to get past the fact that the first DIV will show near the top of the page, and the last DIV will be near the bottom! I cannot completely override the order of the elements as they come from the source HTML.......
I have a web page that includes a bunch of images. Sometimes the image isn't available so a broken image is displayed in the clients browser. How do I use jQuery to get the set of images, filter it to broken images then replace the src? --I thought it would be easier to do this with Jquery, but It turned out much easier to just use a...
I'm implementing a comment control that uses an ASP.Repeater to display each comment. The comment itself is currently displayed using a table to divide up some images to display the comment in a bubble. I know that tables are supposed to be the epitome of evil for design layout, and really expensive to display for the browser, but I'm ...
I have a bowling web application that allows pretty detailed frame-by-frame information entry. One thing it allows is tracking which pins were knocked down on each ball. To display this information, I make it look like a rack of pins: o o o o o o o o o o Images are used to represent the pins. So, for the back row, I have 4 img...

We require all requests for downloads to have a valid login (non-http) and we generate transaction tickets for each download. If you were to go to one of the download links and attempt to "replay" the transaction, we use HTTP codes to forward you to get a new transaction ticket. This works fine for a majority of users. There's a small su...
In other words may one use /<tag[^>]*>.*?<\/tag>/ regex to match the tag html element which does not contain nested tag elements? For example (lt.html): <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>greater than sign in attribute value</title> </head> <body>...
What would be a good offline alternative of the online Lipsum generator? It's frustrating when I'm not online and need some placeholder text for testing purpose. A CLI utility would be ideal, so that I can tailor the output to fit my needs. ...
There are lots of people out there asking "why shouldn't we use tables for structuring our HTML" and while a lot of answers come in, I rarely see anyone being converted to the world of semantics. That said, I've yet to see any convincing rebuttals to support the rationale for why we should (or might) use tables. Anyone care to offer a r...

Maybe I'm just thinking about this too hard, but I'm having a problem figuring out what escaping to use on a string in some javascript inside a link's onClick handler. Example: <a href="#" onclick="SelectSurveyItem('<%itemid%>', '<%itemname%>'); return false;">Select</a> The <%itemid%> and <%itemname%> are where template substitution...
A poorly-written back-end system we interface with is having trouble with handling the load we're producing. While they fix their load problems, we're trying to reduce any additional load we're generating, one of which is that the back-end system continues to try and service a form submission even if another submission has come from the ...
