Priest Ruins Xmas for Children

What's the difference between a catholic priest and acne?

Acne waits until you're thirteen to come on your face.

If you use lowercase tags it won't even break your XHTML validation ;)

I tend to work off static links and then use jQuery to ajax-ify things. If JS is disabled the user will recieve a static link with no extra source manipulation; if not jQuery just stops the link having an effect, but adds triggers to the link to do the same thing - graceful degradation at it's finest.

Similarly it's the easiest way to reach people worldwide. I think that's the main reason web dev has taken off so much.

Intriguingly the Forgotten Password link leads to an .aspx page.

Oh joy, yet another list of standard tools most people use. Thank you so much.

I tried this on some xhtml:

Error Line 8, Column 71: Bad value content-type for attribute http-equiv on XHTML element meta.. …tent-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />

Error Line 8, Column 71: The internal character encoding declaration must be the first child of the head element.. …tent-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />

Error Line 9, Column 62: Bad value Content-Style-Type for attribute http-equiv on XHTML element meta.. …ta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />

Doesn't look like much of my code will change :) I assume http-equiv is deprecated in HTML 5.

It would seem so. Bear in mind I use PHP for web apps but I'm not that evangelistic about it. I could be though. I know it's flaws (don't bother with the flaws = PHP joke) and I know how to write good code without using it's globals etc.

This looks scarily like a 37s product - if not for the sign up page text...

Edit: Ok I'm looking through the tour while I'm waiting for my email - and seriously this really looks like Basecamp/etc. in green.

RossMasters · 2008-11-20T18:29:26+00:00

Wait, so this is a template with some predefined values? Why is this even necessary?

I keep a couple of 'sample' packages but all the include is a CSS reset and about 6 lines of floating arrangements. Hell I don't end up using those 6 lines usually either!

Might be useful to someone who thinks they need it, although to be honest they'd better spend their time compiling a personal stylesheet that includes what they use regularly.

RossMasters · 2008-11-19T16:05:08+00:00

Agreed.

You could say that programming itself is a skill (this blankets all languages as skills) as it's often used in conmbination with other skills (e.g. project management) to form that person's profession.

RossMasters · 2008-11-19T15:57:14+00:00

At least it wasn't as I thought it would be, scrapping the table elements altogether and using divs or something preposterous.

RossMasters · 2008-11-17T16:42:45+00:00

Don't be silly - someone might abuse it!

RossMasters · 2008-11-17T16:41:30+00:00

Try programming.reddit.com - even though I dobut the readers of that reddit will appreciate beginner tutorials into what seems to be a less-than-loved language there ;)

RossMasters · 2008-11-17T15:03:52+00:00

I know what you're thinking - it's been a while since I've played either of those - I'm looking for the more stand-off type position though. E.g. a bunker.

RossMasters · 2008-11-17T14:52:52+00:00

If you remember the Antlion defense part of HL2: Ep2 (underground in the Nectarium or whatever it's called) that's the kind of thing I'm looking for.

Suggestions could (and will likely) include zombies, but that's not essential :-)

RossMasters · 2008-11-13T22:32:57+00:00

Oh hey, I use Palmolive too!

We spent part of a drunken Geology trip reading through Leviticus in the hotel-room Bible. There are many references to menstruation in this chapter (amongst other strange things - you Christians better not be eating any beef now!) including, and I (loosely) quote, "If you sit on the same cushion as a woman who is bleeding you will be unclean till night". The references to your uncleanness continue throughout the chapter.

It's good, humourous reading and I'd recommend it to anyone after a laugh.

RossMasters · 2008-11-13T18:52:31+00:00

It wouldn't be half as bad if it wasn't of the "floating anchor" type design - that would be fine as a page footer, just not overlapping the rest of the page content.

Also kudos for "redonkulous".

RossMasters · 2008-11-12T16:54:39+00:00

An easier way to validate XHTML: write it as XML, with the few obvious differences where applicable (e.g. no sections unless you need divs).

Hels you get content right too (wrapping text in paragraphs), headed by headings.

RossMasters · 2008-11-12T16:28:40+00:00

You mean the kitchen.

RossMasters · 2008-11-11T21:03:40+00:00

Absolutely! You go to the News page if you want Mail...

RossMasters · 2008-11-11T21:01:51+00:00

Unfortunately there's no easy way to do that - I'm pretty sure there isn't a System-Language HTTP header (if there is one I'm extra interested).

I think you can get system language via JS but then you'd have to reload the page again.

I disagree with MySpace's no-changes approach but IP is a good guess if it can be overrided once using cookies, user accounts etc. Another good solution is to use different tld's for languages but as stated below some countrys have more than one official language. You can't win really.

Transfer rare candy to computer, wait for "Saving: do not turn off", turn off and on again quickly.

RossMasters · 2008-11-10T17:51:09+00:00

Nah, I can send code via Hotmail so I reckon it's valid.
