So, I have a bunch of code that I'm pulling from a column in MySQL. This code includes hidden characters, such as "\t" and "\n". I'm trying to get that raw code to display in a DIV. I was hoping to actually show the hidden characters. I have the following so far, without much luck: <?php // Simple example: replace all newlines with the...
I like to save local copies of useful text-heavy pages from the 'Net so I can practice improving their appearance by modifying the markup to include CSS. (What can I say ... It keeps me off the streets) I've noticed that text on the pages is often delimited by ` and '. See the blockquoted example below. Is there a good reason for this?...

I saw this on Hulu.com once, but can't get it to behave that way. The problem is that I have a "marquee" that slides when you click the next button. There are 2 images per section, a total of about 40 sections. The issue is that the browser loads all 40 * 2 images and it is consuming bandwidth like crazy. Is there a way to, saw load ...
I am trying to minimize the height of the table shown below. Firebug tells me that table's height is 29, tbody's 25, and both rows together's 23. The layout tab does not show that there is any padding, margins or border. Though, it tells me that tbody has 2 pixel offset, and the same for tr. Is there a way to prevent that offset? <body...
I've got three columns inside of a div that is the full page width. The two on either side are 25% width and the one in the center is 50% width. This layout is working fine except in IE6 where at certain page widths it bumps the right column to the next line. Is there a fix for this? Maybe an alternate way to layout a page like this? E...
