I have been tasked to fix a really old website (.net aspx vb). The website currently is not running well in IE8, Firefox, Chrome. The menus are displaying funny and some images are not correct, and in Chrome the complete header with menus and all is missing. I am not a vb guy, and I have no idea where to start looking. What will b...
I have an ASP.NET MVC application, with three views: view1, view2, view3. The logic way for the user to navigate through these is: view1 -> view2 -> view3. When the user reaches view3, then I must prevent them from loading view2, even by using the "Back" button in their browser. What is a good, browser-independent means of implementing...
I imagine having to interact with Gmail is a necessity for most programmers. Gmail's control for associating labels to emails is monumentally effective UI behavior. For those unfamiliar with the behavior, it's basically a button-initiated pop up panel (drop down UI effect) containing: 1) a text entry box 2) scrollable multi-checkbox li...
I'm writing an iPhone app that provides access to a website that has an existing user database. The website is using Facebook APIs to also allow Facebook users to link their existing accounts with their website accounts. I need to be able to log in both Facebook and website accounts on my website when using our iPhone client but I am ru...
Hello, I want to create a web service in ASP.NET that fetches data from a website every hour or so (the storing part I got it covered). In this example, metacritic.com, how can I get the Users score of a movie at any given time interval? What I know is, I would have to get the source of the website and then find the html element that ...
I often hear people praising web applications (as opposed to desktop apps) for their portability. Indeed, making a desktop application available on multiple operating systems is difficult. However, I'd think web-applications have to deal with portability issues equally well, only between browsers instead of operating systems. Or is it no...

The problem I have is that the routine runs even if use refresh to reload the page. How do I stop this routine from running if the page has been viewed by a particular user in their current session?

I know very little about Flash, and so is not programming in it. I have a website in PHP, and obviously, HTML, CSS, JS, etc. What I want to do is to allow users to full-screen certain pieces of the DOM. So my question is, is there any way to wrap flash around certain portions of the DOM dynamically in order to allow full screening of th...
I'm building a website where many of the pages are very interactive without having any communication with the web server. Basically, a page represents a kind of DHTML interface, where users can click on various divs to move them around and perform other actions. In the end, the user is able to save the "state" of all divs on the screen a...
While working with web developers, I always hear from them that using iframes is something we must avoid as we can, and some say it's something bad, annoying and makes a lot of problems. Also when i told my previous boss "not a developer" one day that i will use iframe, he looked at me as a bad developer :) What i want to know, does i...

There are several questions about PHP frameworks, but I'm curious as to which one(s) are used in the commercial world when developing web applications with PHP. At my first web-based job, they didn't have a framework for the PHP codebase. Is this common when dealing with PHP? If not, what frameworks to companies producing a product (eith...
I have spent most of my web-development career in the Microsoft camp, but for different reasons I am trying to look at options. Some years back I did a bit of Java/Struts development in eclipse, which was nice for its time but my memories of it are not close to what Visual Studio delivers today. Some of the strengths of the MS stack a...
I only have one computer (running OS X), and need to test in both Safari 3 and Safari 4. While Safari 4 is the "official" release, I don't believe it has been pushed in Software Update yet, and therefore probably hasn't been adopted by most users. Even if it has been pushed, it's still a safe bet that many users haven't updated. The pro...
