I know it can be done and I even have a vague idea of how to do it but it stops at being vague. I have a standard HTML image tag with an image in it, 100 by 100 pixels in size.

Then I saw the tab- navigation at P...

Basically, I was looking for a way to do constant updates to a web page from a long process. I thought AJAX was the way to go, but Dave has a nice...
I did a lot of PHP programming in the last years and one thing that keeps annoying me is the weak support for Unicode and multibyte strings (to be sure, natively there is none). For example, "htmlentities" seems to be a much used funtion in the PHP world and I found it to be absolutely annoying when you've put an effort into keeping ever...
