Hello, I'd like to take HTML 101. So I was working on a form. Used this method to create the form. Minimal HTML. Simple CSS. Started playing around with the :focus pseudo-class… and that's when I noticed my submit button started looking crummy. (From a usability perspective, I think there are some things that SHOULDN'T […]

Problem: (somewhat in line with my last post) I needed to run a script in the "background", but I only had the ability to present the script as a .gif. Solution: actually, I came up with two ways of doing this and both use .htaccess to pull it off. 1) I'm a gif but really […]

(Actually, something weird happend when I copied and pasted the code from Toothpaste. Must have something to do with the text formatting there. But I found this page – which actually shows the same […]

It's a good thing I have no shame in admitting when I was doing something stupid. 😉 Otherwise I'd have no posts for this category. Just to explain a little about what I was working with – it was essentially an email form (emailform.php) – but before sending the email, it brought you to a […]

I'm in the process of moving a few other blogs over to use WP – one of which makes calls to a seperate database unrelated to WP. This proved to cause a conflict. After many hours of trying to figure out where the specific conflict was – I narrowed it down to my mysql_select_db line. […]
