I have a web app with a start page composed of various links. I used the LinkButton control of System.Web.UI.WebControls for these links. I do a little bit of processing on postback, then I redirect to the appropriate page. The problem I find is that in IE7 I cannot right click the "link" and open in a new tab. The postback occurs ...

I was wondering if it was possible to configure that server to listen to an external interface or if I have to throw this over to IIS. I've turned off the windows...
For a pet project, I have been looking for a web chat script capable of running potentially tens of thousands of users simultaneously. I don't want to use any kind of applet or browser extension, so on the client side, it should be simple Ajax. On the server side I'm pretty much open to anything. I'm not looking for bells and whistles, ...
In the final stage of development I started looking at code to try to find some bad practices. I discovered that while accessing a page, I'm querying the DB n times (n is the number of rows of an HTML table) just to get the translation (different languages) for a given record... I immediately thought that was bad and I tried a small opti...

I have a personal project that's been online for sometime now. I've been keeping a tally of downloads by doing this: When the user clicks the download link, it hits a PHP script that writes some information to a table. Once the data is written, the script returns the path to the actual file. The user then has the ability to save the fi...
As a little side project, I am starting to build a new website for a certain organization I am affiliated to, which current site is simply outdated. I am regularly a Java developer, and last time I really did some web development was back in the late 90s, when <p> was still more popular than <div> and Javascript was cutting-edge technol...

Before the advent of all of the MVC web development frameworks available (Django, CakePHP, Rails, etc.), it wasn't too difficult to figure out what sort of tools were used to build a given website. You could usually look at the file extension on a given page and know right there. But now, a great many newer sites (such as this one) use...

However, as the company grows, this became unscalable, as the client spends ...
