About Hosting:
I use and recommend Hostgator for all my hosting needs. It is the only company I have tried (and I have tried plenty) that hasn't given me a headache and responds quickly and fairly to everything I ever need. I run 3 accounts that host over 20 sites with Hostgator and I am happy recommending it to all my family, friends and clients. If you are looking for a cheap yet solid host, IMO Hostgator is the way to go. I do get a comission if you register through the link, but even if you don't like me and don't want me to get a comission, go to Hostgator for your hosting needs and save yourself plenty of cash and headaches.
  Top 15 most read articles  A tooltip is a small popup triggered by a MouseOver that displays quick info about anything. This article uses a mix of CSS and Javascript to produce very simple yet functional code for multiple tooltips. Sometimes designers want to be able to have a background resize automatically to fit the entire screen; no matter its size. This is very unpractical and 99.9% of the times it is not recommended, but it can serve a good purpose every now and then. IFRAMEs are very useful for embedding content into a web page, particularly another URL. They are often misused for their box functionality and scrollbars. CSS has a property that allows for better control and a more reliable use: Overflow.  Page redirection is very useful. Often visitors are forced to see error or confirmation pages. Sometimes pages have been moved but the link must remain active to catch visitors that are not aware of the page redirection yet. In such cases, an automatic redirection is in order.  Inserting an audio file into a web document should be a somewhat uneventful task. Actually, if you do not care about standards it is rather simple since the non-standard <embed> tag works very well in 95% of browsers. It only gets complicated when trying to follow the W3C specification. In this article I provide both methods and you can decide for yourself.  In a world already full of acronyms and codes, who would have thought that something as simple as color could join in the confusion? Knowing the different color models and how they are used is not only helpful in getting the visual results you want it is critical to staying on budget. With SVG, we can create graphics from plain text. And although it’s not widely supported yet, let’s have some fun with it? It’s XML-based, it’s easy, and it’s fun. And what better way to do it, than combining it with PHP and making it dynamic. Why, you ask? Because we can! I often get asked about free website templates. There are many good resources out there and, although most professionals will rather start their designs from scratch, nothing is lost by checking out a few free templates sites. I’ve been asked this continuously. The quick response people get is: there is no way to accurately protect your site without the use of server side scripting.
But actually there is one way to password protect a page using only HTML (and a little client side scripting). It is a dirty little trick but serves the purpose of genuine security without using any server side scripting at all. Very often, the servers hosting our scripts are not in the same time zone as our target visitors. In order to use the current time and date, the server info must first be recalculated adding (or subtracting) the time difference. Validating HTML is a painful process associated with hard tedious work. After spending weeks working on the code for my pages, I’d like to think I am done once it is finished, but the validators always tell a different story. In this article I will discuss the importance of validating your HTML and provide you with links to the best validators. Sometimes a page may need to be refreshed after a certain amount of time. There are two ways of accomplishing this: with a META refresh and a Javascript refresh. The strtr PHP function can be easily used to replace all the occurrences of letters in a string for other letters, and it can also receive a list (array) of replacement words; doing all the necessary changes in one clean sweep. Now that we have a rectangle that takes our given variables, what we need is... If you’ve got a website, you’ve probably got one or more forms on it. Since visitors usually don’t want to take the time to fill out the full form - and we do want all the obligatory information - we all have to use form validation. Me personally, I like to do my validation server-side, because if a visitor really wants to annoy you he (or she for PC’s sake) will disable client-side scripts. Yes, that is right, they do it; I’ve seen them do it. All your hard work and all your scripting goes down the drain and you are left empty-handed if you used them. I’ve worked a lot with forms, and I’ve come up with my own little standard way of doing this. The example I’ll give is in PHP since there’s an area for it on this website. | |
