I am designing a web application that deals with lots of data. I find it difficult to present this data in a usable, intuitive way. The data has to be sortable/searchable, and the relationships between the data should be obvious (records can have "child items"). Are there any books that specifically deal with this? I am not looking for ...
I know Java and i've built some stuff with Swing. However, how can I do web development in java? I'm used to PHP/MySQL and I have Apache installed on my dev machine.

There's several section of our site where the user needs to enter some information, and Firefox's auto fill takes over when the page loads - mostly incorrectly! For example, there's a "Fax Number" field that for some users Firefox keeps filling in with their email address. If they don't see this and they go to submit the form out valid...

Hey, I'm trying out Flexigrid (http://code.google.com/p/flexigrid/) for a new app - I'm really impressed with it but I can't find a way to set the width in code. The main reason for this is to get the GRID (not the columns inside the grid) to align fully to the size of the window. I know, it makes a mockery of the horizontal resizer,...
I'm wondering if any best practices exist for guidelines as to what should and should not go into a validator control. My thought and practice was that it should be basic sanity checking (i.e. did the user enter all the required inputs? Is there 10 digits in the phone number, is the email address in the valid form? etc..), but I've recen...

The reason behind this test, is that our web site i...
