"I'm making this up as I go along." Sound familiar? As much as I've been around the block once (okay, twice), there are still many things for me to learn. I need to give myself credit, and say yes, I know a lot. But I don't know it all. That being said, when one of my virtual assistance clients need...

My old website still gets a lot of hits. But many of the outbound links I posted years back are no longer valid, are dead or have changed location. Is there any way to integrate the Wayback Machine Internet Archive into my site's code so that links are redirected to the archive for the date they wer...

I have a css/html question. Usually when I have a css question I google it and find that 100 people have already asked and answered it. In this case I'm having a hard time even figuring out what to put into Google or what to search on here in AskMe. Is there any reason why, on a webpage I coded up, ...

I spent part of my day at work code-monkeying HTML. I needed to create a table. Not a plain, simple table, not exactly. But a table. With headers. And column spans. This should be simple, right? Wrong. I had a webpage that looked… terrible. (There, that’s a polite word for it.) It needed...

why the old “only use tables for layout� argument keeps coming up over and over: Because as powerful as CSS can be, table cells do certain things very easily that CSS makes very, very hard. It rankles to have CSS be, as Winston Churchill would have put it, the worst form of layout except for all...

According to this article, Palm has pulled the plug on PalmOS. This is a sad but pretty much expected announcement.  Some would argue that Palm gave up on PalmOS a long time ago by using Windows Mobile in places and by actually selling the PalmOS to Access (whoever that is). Palm is betting the far...

Disclaimer: I worked on the Microsoft Ajax 4.0 template engine, so my criteria are of course heavily influenced by our own design. Templates are a data rendering method that server-side developers have enjoyed since the old days of classic ASP and PHP. The idea was quite simple (add code blocks and ...
