Given a URL, how can you tell if the referenced file is and html file? Obviously, its an html file if it ends in .html or /, but then there are .jsp files, too, so I'm wondering what other extensions may be out there for html. Alternatively, if this information can be easily gained from a URL object in Java, that would be sufficient ...

I'm writing standards compliant XHTML Strict 1.0, so including the HTML "target" attribute on anchor elements will not do. I've read 2 fundamentally different ways using Javascript: Upon document load, find all links with rel='external' and append the target='_blank' attribute. Use the HTML onClick attribute that fires a Javascript po...
I am looking for a resource (book or website) which lists all the CSS elemenets' compatibility with the major browsers. It has to include information for IE8 & FireFox3 (Chrome not too important). The ones I have found do not mention IE8 so I need one that's up to date to include IE6, IE7 and IE8. For example, if I want to use 'border-...
I'm wondering if anyone has a rationale for why web development plugins for browsers offer buttons to display content in quirks mode? Are there people out there that markup for quirks mode on purpose? What's the point of seeing how a site will display in quirks mode when the markup already has a doc-type? Am I missing something here or...
I've got some tabs. And I want to add a rollover effect. Problem is, the tabs overlap each other so there's no nice place to divide them. Should I just use absolute positioning and PNGs to stack them, or is there a more elegant solution? ...
lets say we have a link <a href="/something" target="_new">blah</a> and now i want a button to do the same thing as the link does, without using jquery. does anyone have experience with something like that? edit: This needs to be a link that uses target="_new" because doing that instead of a straight popup is a workaround for some...
I need to upload a file from the client to an asp.net page. The source page is not able to use the server side controls. Is this possible? I have seen this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/569565, however this is using a standard input file control but a server side button. In my case I can't use a server side button.

Let's say my panel is 200px and i want 5px padding on the left and right, the textbox to be the max size it can (I could calculate it but is there a dynamic way to do this with the browser). The trickier part is how do I get an even amount of padding on top and bottom? ...

This is how I construct my stylized buttons. <span class='button button-orange' id='sign-up'><input type='button' value='Sign up here' /></span> Putting an anchor tag (with href) around the span lets you hyperlink in FF but messes up in IE if your mouse is hovered over the button's value attribute value. (value='Sign up here') Is the...

I am working on a website in PHP where people can make comments similar to a blog, and I only want particular tags to be allowed. Are there any pre-built libraries that process comments and produce valid XHTML Strict code? I would need to do this in JavaScript so I can generate a live preview like Stack Overflow, plus in PHP before savin...
Has anyone used LightWindow control from stickmanlabs? I want to do some client side validations within the lightwindow and feels it doesn't support that looking at documentation. I used 'Working with Forms' part of the documentation to bring it to a point where the loaded html postbacks to a php successfully. I'm ready to accept the f...

I am building a website for a client who wants their page to zoom perfectly in IE7. I have finally managed to get around most of the bugs, but one. When you zoom in on the page, it centers fine, but then when you go to another page, the page renders and displays the top left of the page. I need to make it render centered. I know it is p...
