I need to provide a means for a user to upload photos to their web site in jpeg format. However, the photos are very large in original size, and I would like to make the resize before upload option very effortless for the user.

Hi guys, I have a pretty basic question about test cases in the world of Website development. Does it make sense to have a separate test case for each hyperlink for all pages in a site? For e.g. my site might have 10 pages, each with approx. 10 hyperlinks in it. Should I have 100 test cases each explaining where that link should redirect...

The problem is that my fluid content (like text or a list) crumbles in IE 7 as soon as the two divs touch. On top of that, this only happens with some IE 7 versi...
I see a lot of benchmarks between PHP, Python, Ruby, etc all over the Internet. Ruby has gotten a lot of flak for being super slow, which leads to developers refusing to use it for web development for "performance reasons". But does the performance of the interpreter really matter for web applications? Isn't the bottleneck located in the...

Today I noticed that a few Google advertisements in an adsence block on one of my pages were trying to display a file called "/pagead/badge/checkout_999999.gif" from my server. I did a bit of investigating and found out that the companies behind these adverts use Google Checkout and "checkout_999999.gif" is supposed to be a tiny shopping...
My company website, which I develop, requires a login using a form. Firefox correctly asks for and remembers login details, but test instances of IE6, IE7 do not remember either the username or password, and IE8 will give a dropdown of usernames previously used, but will not remember the password. What is it about the design of my pas...
