I continuously find places where I need to use the <br /> tag because CSS can't do what I need. Isn't the <br /> considered part of the "design" and not part of document structure? What is the acceptable usage for it? Should the same rules also apply to the <hr />? Here is an example of where I feel forced to use the <br /> tag: I want...

I have a table where one of the left column shrinks when I set the nested element's style to width:80%. The column shrinks and truncates the input elements right edge.

I have a table (a calendar, notably). I want to make the calendar not look ugly when nothing is written in for any of the dates, so I want the minimum size of a cell to be equal to four times the font height.

However, I do not want to rely on the name of the input element (like this example) but rather the type because I have multiple checkbox groups with different names. Is there a way to check and uncheck all checkbox in...
I've tried my best to be a purist with my usage of Javascript/Ajax techniques, ensuring that all Ajax-y behavior is an enhancement of base functionality, while the site is also fully functional when Javascript is disabled. However, this causes some problems. In some cases, a DOM node should only be visible when Javascript is enabled in...

I've been asked by a friend, who created a very visually appealing website mostly in Dreamweaver, to add some database backed functionality that I really only know how to do in ASP.NET. The problem is when I load his generated HTML into an ASPX page it renders it quite horribly. I've tried adding a basic .html page to an ASP.NET project ...

Firebug shows my div as greyed out for some weird reason. Replacing the contents of mainad with just some text doesn't solve the problem (problem isn't related to inner...
