My dad called me today and said people going to his website were getting 168 viruses trying to download to their computers. He isn't technical at all, and built the whole thing with a WYSIWYG editor. I popped his site open and viewed the source, and there was a line of Javascript includes at the bottom of the source right before the clo...

I'm using IIS 5.1 in Windows XP on my development computer. I'm going to set up HTTPS on my company's web server, but I want to try doing it locally before doing it on a production system.

I'm currently trying to build a personal website to create a presence on the web for myself. My plan is to include content such as my resume, any projects that I have done on my own and links to open source projects that I have contributed to, and so on. However, I'm not sure which approach would be better from a perspective of "advertis...
What should I take into consideration while building a Shopping Cart, for a eCommerce site (no metal work here =))? Some clarification: I'm only for suggestions for building the cart only, I can not use a prebuilt system or an external system (google, paypal) And I have the processing done. ...

I am interested in opinions on what is acceptable from a user standpoint in web page loads. I talking about home fronts mostly as I am aware of the "it depends" factor related to what the user is doing. Is there a target number that big sites like CNN or espn strive for? Also, what factor does perception play in load times? Letti...
I originally thought building my own was the way to go, but I've recently changed my mind for two reasons - first, I don't want to reinvent the wheel and second, I don't have enough web development experience at this time to do a good job with it. I've read another similar question, but I want more than a barebones CMS. Really, the only...
What is the best solution for maintaining backup and revision control on live websites? As part of my job I work with several live websites.

A friend of a friend has asked me to build a very simple site (a few static pages and a forum which would be setting up and theming an existing forum technology) but I'm not sure what to charge. What do people think would be appropriate? ...
Hello, I am looking for a method of storing Application Messages, such as "You have logged in successfully" "An error has occurred, please call the helpdesk on x100" "You do not have the authority to reset all system passwords" etc So that "when" the users decide they don't like the wording of messages I don't have to change the sou...
I want to develop a Q/A site with features substantially similar to stackoverflow, but targeted to a different niche (electrical/hardware engineering as opposed to software engineering). The code that runs stackoverflow is not opensource, and from a previous mention of it on the podcast I believe I can assume it never will be. (Though u...
Here's my problem - I'd like to communicate between two websites and I'm looking for a clean solution. The current solution uses Javascript but there are nasty workarounds because of (understandable) cross-site scripting restrictions. At the moment, website A opens a modal window containing website B using a jQuery plug-in called jqModa...
(I'd like to apologize because this IS a somewhat subjective question, but it's one that I'd like to get some ideas on.) So, an open source project I'm working on is working on redesigning its website. This kind of got me thinking: what exactly is it that people look for in an open source web site? So I'm asking that question to you ...
After stumbling into Amazon Web Services again I have finally checked their prices and am shocked. Positively. With their flexible billing and extremely low prices, is there any reason for still using a dedicated hosting for a website? The only one I can think of is keeping sensitive data confined to the intranet - but for publicly acces...

I am trying to consume multiple Web Services that redefine some of the same common classes in their wsdl. I currently have them referenced in a Web Site, but I want to convert to Web Application. Since some of the same classes are redefined from multiple Web Service, the problem is that when adding them in a web Application there is no...
