How do I go about making an image or section of the page full screen on the iPhone? I have an image that is 480 x 320 and I want to pull that up full screen on the iPhone but it has to be within a webpage so that I can make the image a link back to the previous page. Currently if I drop the image on a blank page and I open it up on the...
There was a post this morning asking about: How many people disable javascript. Then I began to wonder what techniques might be used to determine if the user has it disabled. Anyone know of some short/simple ways to detect if Javascript is disabled? my intention is to give warning that the site is not able to function properly without th...
Ok, so we have clients and those clients get to customize their web facing page. One option we are giving them is to be able to change the color of a graphic (it's like a framish-looking bar) using one of those hex wheels or whatever. So, I've thought about it, and I don't know where to start. I am sending comps out this week to my xht...

I have prototypejs and scriptaculous available. <div id="panel"> <div id="field_name">TEXT GOES HERE</div> </div> Here's what the function will look like: function showPanel(fieldName) { var fieldNameElement = document.getElementById...
We've written a plugin to the Xinha text editor to handle footnotes. You can take a look at: http://www.nicholasbs.com/xinha/examples/Newbie.html In order to handle some problems with the way Webkit and IE handle links at the end of lines (there's no way to use the cursor to get out of the link on the same line) we insert a blank eleme...
After working with .NET's HttpWebRequest/Response objects, I'd rather shoot myself than use this to crawl through web sites. I'm looking for an existing .NET library that can fetch URLs, and give you the ability to follow links, extract/fill in/submit forms on the page, etc. Perl's LWP and WWW::Mechanize modules do this very well, but ...
Is there a built in dll that will give me a list of links from a string. I want to send in a string with valid html and have it parse all the links. I seem to remember there being something built into either .net or an unmanaged library. I found a couple open source projects that looked promising but I thought there was a built in modul...
It has always been best practice to open links in the same window. Should that still be the rule now that most common browsers use tabs? Personally i prefer closing a tab/window over hitting the backbutton. What are your thoughts? ...

NOTE: I am not set on using VI, it is just the first thing that came to mind that might be able to do what I need. Feel free to suggest any other program. I have a form with nearly 100 fields that I would like to auto-fill with PHP. I know how to do the autofill, but I would like to avoid manually adding the needed text to 100 fields. ...
A site I'm working on has Flash headers (using swfobject to embed them). Now I'm required to code in a bit of HTML that's supposed to overlap the Flash movie. I've tried setting z-index on the Flash element's container and the (absolutely positioned) div but it keeps "vanishing" behind the Flash movie. I'm hoping for a CSS solution, b...

I have an <img> in an HTML document that I would like to highlight as though the user had highlighted it using the mouse. Is there a way to do that using JavaScript?

Background I am writing and using a very simple CGI-based (Perl) content management tool for two pro-bono websites. It provides the website administrator with HTML forms for events where they fill the fields (date, place, title, description, links, etc.) and save it. On that form I allow the administrator to upload an image related to t...

I have an IFRAME with a vertical scroll bar on a page with a vertical scrollbar. I would like to be able to scroll the IFRAME with the scroll wheel, but in IE7 and FF3, when I click the IFRAME and scroll, both the IFRAME content and Page scrolls, not just the IFRAME. Eventually, the IFRAME is no longer under the mouse Has anyone had t...
Many times I've seen links like these in HTML pages: <a href='#' onclick='someFunc(3.1415926); return false;'>Click here !</a> What's the effect of the return false in there ? Also, I don't usually see that in buttons. Edit: Is this specified anywhere ? In some spec in w3.org ? ...
Hi, I have code to create another "row" (div with inputs) on a button click. I am creating new input elements and everything works fine, however, I can't find a way to access these new elements.
