I consider myself fairly versatile when it comes to O/S selection. I have used DOS/Windows PC's all my life, switched my main laptop to Mac two years ago, and have used numerous flavors of Unix/Linux/BSD while studying for my Comp.Sci. degree. However, as I'm trying to improve my development environment, I'm starting to wonder if I'd be...

I've run into a weird quirk. The website I'm building for Escondido Arts Gallery has all of it's text in each element left-aligned in firefox and IE, but for some reason everything is center aligned in Safari.

We implement the majority of our business rules in the database, using stored procs. I can never decide how best to pass data constraint violation errors from the database back to the user interface. The constraints I'm talking about are tied more to business rules than data integrity. For example, a db error such as "Cannot insert dup...

There are a couple of web sites I maintain that use HTML audio/mp3 objects within a page. They use to work but then something broke. The pages rely on Windows Media Player if the client browser is IE. A month or so ago, the object would appear as a WMP control. It should look like this But now what appears resembles a mail slot a ti...
I want to experiment/play around with non-relational databases, it'd be best if the solution was: portable, meaning it doesn't require an installation. ideally just copy-pasting the directory to someplace would make it work. I don't mind if it requires editing some configuration files or running a configuration tool for first time usag...
Hello. I have written a stupid little game and want to have some kind of leader board website. Usually leaderboards are limited to 10 or 20 top players, but I thought it would be nice if I could record, for every player, their top score. Then, I could always display their world-wide rank. A simple schema such as: create table leaderbo...
I've got a web page that automatically reloads every few seconds and displays a different random image. When it reloads, however, there is a blank page for a second, then the image slowly loads. I'd like to continue to show the original page until the next page is loaded into the browser's memory and then display it all at once so that i...
The sources I've read on making web pages accessible provide conflicting information on whether the 'title' attribute is actually useful. Some claim that it's best practice to give a web control a title attribute containing a more detailed explanation than the visible text on the control provides. Others claim that the default for most...

Please state what is needed (eg MySQL and Django) to run each item if possible. Thanks! [I asked a similar question a while back but had limited responses. Hop...
Has anyone got a Web Deployment Project to work with ASP.NET MVC? When I open the "deployed" project, a lot of the files are missing that MVC requires and makes it tough to Publish to the server with all the missing files in the project. Or...

A renowned PHP user once said: There will be a relaunch in 2 years, anyway. Those times are gone. Web applications that are older than 5 years are common. With the original developer(s) gone. The release cycles of the operation system, programming language, and framework are getting in the way of doing real work, if you don't have a bi...

There are so many sites that have voting implemented that I know some possible solutions but I guess that is some basic bulletproof recommended method based on sessions, IPs, time limit, etc. What is the best way to send votes from brow...
I was wondering if it was ever ok not to have a submit button (Ok, Go or Search for example) near a search box in Web pages. I know that hitting enter is much faster and that it will perform the search. However, is it an accepted convention for the average non tech savvy user or only for the tech community? For example, the search box...
