On a web page I'm creating, I have a div with a background image. I overlay some text over the image that I'll be changing frequently, so that's why I'm using a background image and real text instead of an img tag that contains the text. The background image contains some click-able areas, so I need an image map. I think the best way ...

Being a block, I can't simply put another element next to it and hope it shows up there -- it shows up just below it. A self-contained sample is shown bel...
Right now I'm capturing users' text selections through s = window.getSelection() and range = s.getRangeAt(0) (browser's impls aside). Whenever a selection within a <p> is made, I can easily call range.surroundContents(document.createElement("em")) to have the selected text wrapped with an <em> tag. In this example, however, <p>This is ...
In my application I'm exporting an Excel file by getting the layout of a HTML page. So, in my codebehind, I'm modifying the HTML layout and inserting itens on it like if it was a webpage. Doing it that way, I don't need to use any external library and, as the data I'm exporting is just a table, I don't need nothing complex to handle it. ...

All the text is static and in the php file (does not come from a DB or an external source) When I browse to the site some pages randomly get corrupt in IE and FF and display all question marks.
