I'm in the process of redesigning my blog. I'm trying to implement an outdent of the first letter of the first paragraph of the body text. Where I'm stuck is in getting consistent spacing between the first letter and the rest of the paragraph. Basically, the problem is that there is a huge difference in spacing between a "W" and an "I". ...

I have my web browsers set to save what I type into text boxes on forms.

On our intranet site, we have various MS Office documents linked. When I click on a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file, Firefox gives me the option to Open, Save or Cancel. When I click on Open, the appropriate app is launched and the file is loaded. This is perfect. But for some reason, when I click on a linked Visio file, I only get the op...

I'm running into a problem associating an invoked method in a plugin I'm writing with the appropriate plugin instance. The documentation at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_Plugin_API_Reference/Scripting_plugins doesn't give enough information to be truly useful on this. In a nutshell, I'm trying to understand just which scriptable...
I have a webpage where Firefox 2 displays the font certain, really specific elements, larger than than what I specified in the CSS. When I look at the affected element (mostly td elements as far as I can tell) with Firebug, I see that the font size is inherited from the body (11px, so its not a relative size). No styles overwrite this f...

Can textareas be brought back? ...

I have developed a couple of extensions for Firefox, and am annoyed that it is so hard to get the extension signed. When an extension isn't signed, it says "Author not verified" when it is installed, and to me that just looks wrong. I have a simple build script that builds my .xpi file from sources, and I have a licenced copy of PKZip ...

I want to be able to send an HTTP request to "admin.foo.com", but have the request go to an IP which does not map to "admin.foo.com" in DNS. I know I can edit /etc/hosts to do this, but I'd like to avoid doing that. To explicate, normally when you browse to "http://admin.foo.com", it sends an HTTP request that looks something like this...
