Whilst once upon a time the nature of developing for the web was totally different to developing for the desktop, nowadays you find the same concepts [...] cropping up in both. Since I am continually lo...
I'm using jQuery UI's draggable and droppable libraries in a simple ASP.NET proof of concept application. This page uses the ASP.NET AJAX UpdatePanel to do partial page updates. The page allows a user to drop an item into a trashcan div, which will invoke a postback that deletes a record from the database, then rebinds the list (and othe...
Let me set the stage here. I'm a very junior developer who's recently made the transition from Network Admin who does some WinForms for his employer to a full-time development position working on an ASP.NET product that will be transitioning to Silverlight.

AFAIK, you never need to specify the protocol in an onclick: onclick="javascript:myFunction()" = bad onclick="myFunction()" = good Today I noticed in this article on Google Anallytics that they are using it: <a href="http://www.example.com" onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/example.com');"> Is this example ...
I have no frame of reference in terms of what's considered "fast"; I'd always wondered this but have never found a straight answer... ...
I was looking into playing around with Python 3.0. My plan was to build a cutesy web-app in Django, but I don't think that Django support Python 3 at this stage (the last release was before Python 3 came out). What Python web development frameworks out there currently support Python 3.0? ...
As part of a wide ranging job for a cystic fibrosis support organization, they'd also like a web site set up and I've decided on Apache running on Linux (due to its security and low cost mostly). Other than (fairly) static content, they also want a forum where people can discuss issues with the condition - it'll be attached to a hospital...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any preference for referencing images/ css or javascript files in their sites? The reason I ask is if a client wants to host the site we've writen under a virtual directory, the site usually has to have it's file references changed - even down to url (...image path) in CSS files because we usually deve...
As part of another question that did involve programming (I assure you), someone suggested I ask a community wiki question as to why your forum software of choice was the 'best' one for you. I'm looking into providing forum software as part of an install of a web server and web application tailored for a medical support group and I wish...

My client would like website visitors to embed videos in their profiles. We've suggested that we use YouTube for a quick and cost-effective (free) solution. However he is not keen that YouTube would control access to the videos which are an important part of his service. It seems unlikely that YouTube would suddenly pull the plug but to ...

The code below continues many lines until it ends with a expected /veotherwise /vechoose. I started working on a development firm a little ago where they use this html version called vhtml. I have search the web but it brings different definitions for vhtml. I have seen some posts in Joomla about vhtml but they don't look like the cod...
hi, Currently i'm using pretty much Unix + Mysql + Perl + Apache with some javascript to make it more ajax like. and i've been looking at sites which are web 2.0 and stackoverflow and really like the simple design and the smooth flow from pages and action, etc. i'm trying to decide if learning catalyst, mason and the likes are going to ...
I know it's possible to use CSS to add page breaks to web pages, for when they're printed. I also know CSS support in HTML emails is poor. So, is there a way to generate a page break when an HTML email is printed? Or given the variety of email clients out there, is that just a daft question? ...

I'm looking for a replacement website application development IDE. Ideally it will run on both Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows. I'm typically developing small to medium sized web applications of some richness and complexity - by way of example I'm currently handling a site for a local council which manages their waste collection and reproce...
At my current job I've been working on making web apps with Java, Tapestry, Hibernate, MSSQL, and Tomcat. I've got an idea for a little web game I'd like to write. I'd like to know what the SO community would use for something like this. Should I stick to what I know? I was thinking it would be very beneficial for me to learn different...
At my job, I have to implement web forms for loan applications with sometimes up to a hundred different input fields, and then save the application into the database for later retrieval. The person whom I replaced created a sql table with 100s of columns where each row represents a loan application and there is a column for every field....
