I want the search box on my web page to display the word "Search" in gray italics. When the box receives focus, it should look just like an empty text box. If there is already text in it, it should display the text normally (black, non-italics). This will help me avoid clutter by removing the label. BTW, this is an on-page AJAX search, ...
I have some code in a javascript file that needs to send queries back to the server. The question is, how do I find the url for the script that I am in, so I can build a proper request url for ajax.

I keep hearing that div tags should be used for layout purposes and not table tags. So does that also apply to form layout?

I'm working on a PowerPC Mac and can't do any testing. Is there some simple CSS ...

I am creating a site in which different pages can look very different depending upon certain conditions (ie logged in or not, form filled out or not, etc). This makes it necessary to output diferent blocks of html at different times. Doing that, however, makes my php code look horrific... it really messes with the formatting and "shape...

What I can't seem to do is cancel the text-selection in a way that doesn't prevent text-selection in th...
