I build websites for a small-ish media company. Unfortunately, around 45-50% of our client base uses IE6, while the other half are pretty much equally split between Firefox and Webkit-based browsers, with a sprinkling of Opera users. I start every one of my sites with a reset stylesheet similar to Eric Meyer's, with a few modificaions. ...
Before anyone suggests scrapping the table tags altogether, I'm just modifying this part of a very large system, so it really wouldn't be wise for me to revise the table structure (the app is filled with similar tables). This is a webapp in C# .NET - data comes in from a webservice and is displayed onscreen in a table. The table's rows...
It is a well known problem to every web developer. As far as I tried to find a good solution to this problem - there was none (or at least I could not find it). Lets assume the following: The user does not behave, as he was expected to. The actual project I'm working in uses a navigation within the web portal. But if the user uses the ...
Lot of googling did not help me! Are there any good dictionary web based available? I am looking for a site which can send me the meaning of words if we pass the word through query string! ...
I can't seem to find any decent info about this on the web. Any advice? ...
I have a few scripts on a site I recently started maintaining. I get those Object Not Found errors in IE6 (which Firefox fails to report in its Error Console?). What's the best way to debug these- any good cross-browser-compatible IDEs, or javascript debugging libraries of some sort? ...
To narrow down the question, please suggest web-based topics only. To be honest, I'm struggling to find one for myself :) I'm doing Computer Science and looking for a web-based, individual project. A suitable topic would have a certain degree of novelty, so while you guys browsing the web everyday, what kind of things you expect but have...
RPO 1.0 (Runtime Page Optimizer) is a recently (today?) released component for ASP and Sharepoint that compresses, combines and minifies (I can’t believe that is a real word) Javascript, CSS and other things. What is interesting is that it was developed for ActionThis.com a NZ shop that saw at TechEd last year. They built a site that q...
I'm working on an email validation check and we need to decided whether to allow user@localhost and user@example (notice no .anything) to be validated as a valid email address. This is for an open source project that has a number of use cases on both the web at large and intranets. RFC 2822 (Internet Message Format Standard) allows it b...
I've got a web app that sends out emails in response to a user-initaited action. These emails prompt the recipient for a response (an URL is included related to the specific action.) I've got some users asking for a "resend" feature to push that email again. My objection is that if the original email ended up in a spam folder (or didn...
I am re-building our poorly designed web application from scratch, and wanted to get into TDD and basically "do things right" as kind of a learning project. What tools, processes, and resources are recommended to do it "right" from the start? I will be working alone as the architect and developer, with the backup of a business analyst ...
Is there a straightforward way to query a web service to see which messages it supports? The C# .NET application I'm working on needs to be able to handle an older version of the web service, which does not implement the message I'm trying to send. The web service does not expose a version number, so Plan B is to see if the message is de...
I visited few web sites in the past where they had a set of photo thumbnails and clicking on one of them created a cool effect of an expanding popup showing the full size image. Is there any available free javascript library that will do this? I'm interested mostly in the popup effect and less in the rest of the album management. ...
I'm interested to find out what Stack Overflow believes the best PHP book is - both for those who are beginners to web programming as well as those who have previous programming experience (they don't have to be same book). "Best" includes being both reasonably up-to-date and encouraging best practices for secure, modern, PHP programming...
I've been wanting to program for the Plan 9 operating system for a while. I'd really like to play around with a web app there. Of course, the only language I know for Plan 9 is C, and that doesn't seem ideal for web development. I also understand that it doesn't run apache or mysql either. What is the best way to start coding web apps o...
Is there a way to debug/trace every javascript event in Internet Explorer 7? I have a bug that prevents scrolling after text-selecting, and I have no idea which event or action creates the bug. I really want to see which events are being triggered when I move the mouse for example. it's too much work to rewire the source and i kinda h...
Hi, I want to add a mailto link on our web page. I want to add a urgent priority to this mail. If you can help me that would be great. Thanks for your help, Donald ...
Hi, For a registration form I have something simple like: <tr:panelLabelAndMessage label="Zip/City" showRequired="true"> <tr:inputText id="zip" value="#{data['registration'].zipCode}" contentStyle="width:36px" simple="true" required="true" /> <tr:inputText id="city" value="#{data['registrat...
I have a SQL Server 2000, C# & ASP.net web app. We want to control access to it by using Active Directory groups. I can get authentication to work if the group I put in is a 'Global' but not if the group is 'Universal'. How can I make this work with 'Universal' groups an well? Here's my authorization block: <authorization> <all...
I am trying to write an application that uses pretty URLS or REST (still learning what this entails). Anyway my urls look like www.foo.net/some_url/some_parameter/some_keyword. I can be sure a url will never exceed N characters. Should I validate the url length with every request in order to protect against buffer overflow/injection atta...
