I am encountering a problem: On an html page, when i click a certain control (a tab panel title) i make an ajax call. From Wicket (java code) i call a javascript function that "redraws" all the componenets on my page (this is like a reload of the page). Everytime i do this i get a flickering effect on the html (which, as i said, afte...
How does Stackoverflow implement the resizable textarea? Is that something they rolled themselves or is it a publicly available component that I can easily attach to textareas on my sites? I found this question and it doesn't quite do what I want. autosizing-textarea That talks more about automatically resizing textareas whereas I ...
Is there a free third-party or .NET class that will convert HTML to RTF (for use in a rich-text enabled Windows Forms control)? The "free" requirement comes from the fact that I'm only working on a prototype and can just load the BrowserControl and just render HTML if need be (even if it is slow) and that Developer Express is going to b...
I have a website in which I provide tooltips for certain things using a hidden <span> tag and javascript to track various mouse events. It works excellently. This site somewhat caters towards people with vision issues, so I try to make things degrade as well as possible if there is no javascript or css and generally I would say that it i...
I have a form in HTML where our users fill in the data and then print it. The data isn't saved anywhere. These forms come from outside our company and are built as html pages to resemble the original as closely as possible and then stuffed away and forgotten in a folder on the intranet. Normally another developer does them, but I have...
Where can I test HTML 5 functionality today - is there any test build of any rendering engines which would allow testing, or is it to early? I'm aware that much of the spec hasn't been finalised, but some has, and it would be good to try it out! ...
Hi All, I have a website laid out in tables. (a long mortgage form) in each table cell is one HTML object. (text box, radio buttons, etc) What can I do so when each table cell is "tabbed" into it highlights the cell with a very light red (not to be obtrusive, but tell the user where they are)? ...
Given an HTML page that has a complex table-based layout and many tags that are duplicated and wasteful, e.g.: td align="left" class="tableformat" width="65%" style="border-bottom:1px solid #ff9600; border-right:1px solid #ff9600; background-color:#FDD69E" nowrap etc. Are there tools to aide the task of refactoring the page into a mor...
i'm just going to toss this question up in a rough form now, while i'm thinking of it, and come back to flesh out the details. it's terribly vexing. maybe someone here will know wtf is going on. i have this big data-entry sort of page, a table-kind of layout using divs. each row has subrows which can be toggled open/closed. the toggling...
Hi everyone, I am in charge of a website at work and recently I have added ajaxy requests to make it faster and more responsive. But it has raised an issue. On my pages, there is an index table on the left, like a menu. Once you have clicked on it, it makes a request that fills the rest of the page. At anytime you can click on another ...
Having recently produced an HTML/CSS/Javascript based report from various word and excel files sent to me I'm trying to work out how to do this better in future, ideally enabling non-technical users in the office to do many of the tasks currently handed to me. There are a range of HTML editors out there but none of them seem obviously a...
I have a page that contains a form. This page is served with content type text/html;charset=utf-8. I need to submit this form to server using ISO-8859-1 character encoding. Is this possible with Internet Explorer? Setting accept-charset attribute to form element, like this, works for Firefox, Opera etc. but not for IE. <form accept-cha...
What are the most common browser compatibility issues across the major desktop browsers? No dups please. Up-vote problems you've run into. I'm hoping for the list to self-sort. "IE sux" is not a pitfall, but a call for down-vote. [Edit] Yes, I know it's a poll - I'm not posting answers in this to gather points - I'm actually interested...
I'm having issues with color matching css background colors with colors in images on the same html page. What gives? ...
I have used Photoshop CS2's "Save for Web" feature to create a table of images for my site layout. This HTML appears fine in a web browser, however when imported into Visual Studio and viewed in the site designer, the metrics are wrong and there are horizontal gaps between images (table cells). The output from Photoshop does not refer ...
I have just started authoring web pages for use on "smart phones". I need to target Blackberry, WinCE, iPhone, etc. What resources or books would you recommend for someone with ample web and software development experience but no experience developing UI for these devices? What emulation kits would you recommend, and how accurately do...
Hi all, I'm building a form with php/mysql. I've got a table with a list of locations and sublocations. Each sublocation has a parent location. A column "parentid" references another locationid in the same table. I now want to load these values into a dropdown in the following manner: --Location 1 ----Sublocation 1 ----Sublocation 2 --...
Let's face it: writing proper, standards compliant HTML is quite difficult to do. Writing semantic HTML is even more so, but I don't think it's possible for a computer to figure that out. So my question to you is what would the "ideal" feedback for a user who entered HTML be? Would it be a W3C validator style list of errors and correspo...
I have one text input and one button (see below). How can I use JavaScript to trigger the button's click event when the Enter key is pressed inside the text box? There is already a different submit button on my current page, so I can't simply make the button a submit button. And, I only want the enter key to click this specific button i...
I thought they could be, but as I'm not putting my money where my mouth was (so to speak) setting the readonly attribute doesn't actually seem to do anything. I'd rather not use Disabled, since I want the checked check boxes to be submitted with the rest of the form, I just don't want the client to be able to change them under certain c...
