The question Is there a known benchmark or theoretical substantiation on the optimal (rendering speed wise) image size? A little background The problem is as follows: I have a collection of very large images, thousands of pixels wide in each dimension. These should be presented to the user and manipulated somehow.

We are currently trying to implement a payment provider in zaypay for paying for services using sms or by calling a number. We already have google checkout and paypal working for regular payments but zaypay is rather inflexible, poorly documented and a pain to setup when you have hundreds of products with varying prices. So my question ...
So I was reading another question under the Wicket tag comparing Apache Wicket and Apache Click. A concise explanation, in my opinion. I am more familiar with the Wicket world than the Click world. One of the comments I read was that you can make stateless Wicket pages. I started to think about this and couldn't figure out a way to make...
I'm sure we've all worked on, or are aware of web applications (especially in the enterprise) that have tightly bound themselves to the server session. In these cases, it's possible that the session will become corrupted if more than one browser session is open and using the same server session cookie. We've examined all of the options...

We have a web app where we need to redirect customers from .com to .co.uk domains based on the geolocation of ther IP address. When/where should I do this? The content will change slightly based on their location, but I think I can handle that OK. However, if anyone has any comments on the best way to handle this, I'd like to hear those...
I have been running into intermittent errors with some java selenium-rc tests which I think are related to a page which has an ajax poll and automatically refreshes when some condition is reached on the server. In this scenario, I have no way of asking selenium to wait for the page to load, and so I run into a bunch of random "Couldn't a...
In HTML when referencing images, css, javascript, etc... I sometimes use links without the http or https scheme portion, à la. <img src="//www.example.com/dir/file.gif" alt="" /> and I haven't had any browsers choke on it yet (that I know of). I've seen a few other public sites use it as well, but not many. I even reference the Google ...

I am using stopwatch to get an average range but i do not know what is generally considered fast or decent performance. 10ms 500ms? ...
We have a Ruby-on-rails server-side deployment that needs to allow users to download a pre-compiled self-extracting Windows EXE file on their computer. We also need to generate a text file dynamically (based on the users id) and deploy it somewhere on the client machine where the EXE can find it. We have 2 options: Generate this tex...
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the built-in Apache for local web development on Mac OS X, specifically 10.6 Snow Leopard? Instead of using the built-in Apache, I know that options such as MAMP and XAMPP exist. However, for some reason I just haven't wrapped my head around the benefits or potential pitfalls with using...

Assume that I've fired up Firefox with Firebug enabled on a random site (say slashdot.org). After loading the site I start editing the page using the Firebug > HTML panel. So far so good: my changes are immediately visible in Firefox. My questions: How do I save the edited DOM tree (represented as HTML)? How do I load a previously man...

I'm trying to write some javascript that will stack objects by setting z-index. Test Case: http://christophermeyers.name/stacker/ I've hacked that together, but I'd like to extrapolate that behavior to something a little more logical. That is: Given x number of elements, when element C is moved to the top, all elements above that elem...

I don't want that text to be viewable. Question: How do I prevent the browser from displaying the title attribute text as a popup while still keepin...
