IE6 showing wrong background image
Hi, Im using the YUI tabs components and customised each tab to show a unique icon and then show a variation of the icon when the tab is selected. As we know YUI adds 'selected' class to the selected tab and I manually added 'nav-xxx' where xxx is the tab name to each tab. Im using the following css: .nav-directory { background:...
Suggestion for Semantic Markup
I am creating a web GUI for an application I am working on. This particular section will sit within a larger page that is of a good semantic makeup. However, I am unsure what the best option to markup the below screen semantically. My initial thought is to separate the top half from the bottom half via divs. Therefore, markup for the to...
While using mod_rewrite what is the common practice to render right path to the img/css/js files?
On the one hand mod_rewrite allows me to make userfriendly urls redirecting requests to proper script but on the other I can't use relative links because they will point at nonexistent files. A little example: mod_rewrite redirects request http://site.ru/param/one/page.html at http://site.ru/script.php while I have "myimg.jpeg" file at t...

Learning HTML 5
I've seen some cool stuff that HTML 5 can achieve, but when I browsed amazon to see if there was a good book on the topic, there was none (at least today: 11/29/09). So my question is: Do you know about a good tutorial (a deep one, not just a quick how-to) for HTML5? Please don't point me to the reference, I'm looking for something m...
Rails - Escaping HTML using the h() AND excluding specific tags.
Hello! I was wondering, and was as of yet, unable to find any answers online, how to accomplish the following. Let's say I have a string that contains the following: my_string = "Hello, I am a string." (in the preview window I see that this is actually formatting in BOLD and ITALIC instead of showing the "strong" and "i" tags) Now, I...

<audio> element autobuffers no matter what
I'm trying to make a web based media player using the HTML5 audio element implemented in Firefox 3.5 and Chrome. Reading Mozillas documentation, omitting the autobuffer attribute should result in the audio src not being requested: if specified, the audio will automatically begin being downloaded, even if not set to automatically ...
How do I make a certain text style larger?
I wrote up a post in WordPress that included some code samples. I used the "preformatted" style for the code sample, which gives a nice monospace font and doesn't screw up multiple spaces, and everything looks great... ...except that it's tiny! The text of the code samples comes out at something ridiculously small, like 8 pt or someth...
CSS: A way to maintain aspect ratio when resizing a DIV?
I want to resize a DIV container as the window width changes via % width. Are there any new CSS3 rules that would allow the height to change according to the change of width, maintaining the original aspect ratio? I know I can do this via javascript, I would just rather not if I don't have to. EDIT: To better explain what I'm trying t...
C# - How to list out variable names and values posted to ASPX page
I am dynamicaly generating a HTML form that is being submitted to a .aspx webpage. How do I determine in the resulting page what variable names were submitted and what the values were?

HTML DIVs not properly displaying
I have what I think is a reasonably simple HTML format to display some financial information. For some reason, jQuery (and, indeed, Firebug!) don't seem to update the visual display of the parent divs. This is a lot easier to see if you look at this in a browser. I'm using the Bluetrip CSS framework. Here's the HTML: <!DOCTYPE html PU...
Clear form button in HTML...do we really need this?
I usually add the clear form button to HTML forms by default, but tonight I had what alcholics call a "moment of clarity". Why the hell do we add this? In all my years of using the internet I have never gotten to the end of the form and thought "crap!, I screwed up, I need to reset this!". Is this button actually necessary or a hold ov...
Is it better to use the link tag or the style tag to import CSS?
Or is it just a personal preference thing? What I'm getting at is, is there a specific benefit to using either method? <link href="main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> versus <style type="text/css"> @import url('main.css'); </style> ...
Background and CSS Floats
So I am using the 960 grid system and found a few things that they don't support. I've considered switching to Blueprint, but I've got to come back to the design a bit later in the process. Anyway, I've simplified my code to show what I'm experiencing: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/T...

Is there a limit to the length of HTML attributes?
How long is too long for an attribute value in HTML? I'm using HTML5 style data attributes (data-foo="bar") in a new application, and in one place it would be really handy to store a fair whack of data (upwards of 100 characters). While I suspect that this amount is fine, it raises the question of how much is too much? ...
