So, I'm at a point in my freelance career where I've developed several web applications for small to medium sized businesses that support things such as project management, booking/reservations, and email management.

I have a small gallery of thumbnails. When I place my mouse pointer over a thumbnail image I'd like to have a full size image pop up in a div in the top right of the screen. I've seen this done using just CSS and I'd like to go down that route rather than use javascript if possible. ...
Rails comes with a handy session hash into which we can cram stuff to our heart's content. I would, however, like something like ASP's application context, which instead of sharing data only within a single session, will share it with all sessions in the same application.

I'm working on a page has an ol with nested p's, div's, and li's. Internet Explorer 6 and 7 both render the numbers for the ol tag after the p element at the end (at the very, very bottom of the li tag) rather than at the top of the outermost li as expected. I'm working on a PowerPC Mac and can't do any testing. Is there some simple CSS ...

I've got a pretty strong C/C++/C# background and I'm going to be getting up to speed on WPF. I'd like to focus part of my development efforts on web development ...
For <script> HTML tags, what is the technical difference between "lang=Javascript" and "type=text/javascript"? I usually use both, because I've always assumed that older browsers need one or the other. ...
I recently discovered the genshi.builder module. It reminds me of Divmod Nevow's Stan module. How would one use genshi.builder.tag to build an HTML document with a particular doctype? Or is this even a good thing to do? If not, what is the right way? ...
Is it possible to have a MySQLi prepared statement within the fetch() call of a previous statement? If not, what's the best way around it? Example code: if($stmt = $link->prepare("SELECT item FROM data WHERE id = ?")) { $stmt->bind_param("i", $id); $stmt->execute(); $stmt->bind_result($item); while( $stmt->fetch() ) { /* ...

Folks, we all know that IP blacklisting doesn't work - spammers can come in through a proxy, plus, legitimate users might get affected...
