Hey all:

I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a good intro to XHTML and CSS. I want to get a book that will put me on the right path to 'intelligent' web design. That is, I want to design good sites, not only in appearance but in structure as well.

Thanks

Opera released the second Beta version of its next browser (8.0 Beta 2). It includes an answer to the recent security debate over Web site spoofing.

Download Opera (8.0 Beta 2)

Opera has created a whitelist of safe Top-Level Domains for IDN. TLDs are considered safe if they have implemented anti-homographic character policies or otherwise limited the available set of characters to prevent spoofing. Current whitelist contains .no, .jp, .de, .se, .kr, .tw, .cn, .at, .dk, .ch and .li. List is updated automatically in the Opera version check. Domain names from other top-level domains that contain characters outside Latin 1 will be displayed in punycode.

What else to look for in Opera's Beta 2:

• Easier customization and skinning
• Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) verifies that the certificate has not been revoked by the certificate authorities
• Atom newsfeeds

Javascript to kill Google's AutoLink. Add this to your webpages, "it will rewrite, the rewritten urls, killing the Autolink functionality."

AutoLink is a feature in Google's toolbar which automatically add links into webpages.

when clicking the Toolbar's AutoLink button will automatically create a link to an online map (US addresses only)? AutoLink can also link package tracking numbers to delivery status, VIN numbers (US) to vehicle history, and publication ISBN numbers to Amazon.com listings.

Google, MSN and Yahoo! announced their support for rel="nofollow" attribute to hyperlinks. They will ignore links with this attribute to prevent comment spam. Movable Type and other blog software makers and service providers also announed their support. Movable Type released a plugin to modify all links in comments and trackbacks to include the rel="nofollow" attribute.

Links:

• Google: Preventing comment spam
• Yahoo! Search: A Defense Against Comment Spam
• msn search: Working Together Against Blog Spam
• six apart: Support for nofollow

figby.com says: "Dishonest webmasters will use this attribute ... on all external links, to prevent precious PageRank from leaking out of their sites." and,

we'll also see people who sell links based on their PageRank and then add the nofollow attribute later, making the purchased links worthless-but as far as I'm concerned, anything that hinders the widespread practice of selling links for ranking can't be a bad thing.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a free CMS for my website.

Basically, I want it to do two things. 1) I want it to fit the form I have right now as close as it can, and 2) I want it to archive my posts for viewing later.

http://www.thisisjerkass.com

I'm willing to comprimise a little bit when it comes to the site layout, but I'm looking for something that would be kinda easy for my co-webmasters. There's three of us and one of us is an html novice.

One final requirement: free. I know I'm asking for a lot, but I figured if anyone could help, it'd be you guys.

Thanks in advance.

    I can't remember what this program was called, but there is this program that detects hardware in a computer and is able to provide device names and stuff... anyone know what that program is called? (I'm sure some of you are thinking I could just open up the computer and just write down serial numbers and google it, but one of the computers I'm dealing with right now is a laptop. Dell's website has been the least informative about what kind of network driver this laptop needs)


...and speaking of that particular laptop:
    The guy who is the owner of this laptop, claimed the "mother board fried" and that he had to get a replacement motherboard, but it's a mystery to me as to why Dell (or whoever serviced this machine) had to wipe the hard drive in the process, and then half-assedly reinstall winXP with pretty much none of the hardware configured. Right now the only network things being detected on this laptop is the wireless network adapter (which can't be used in the dorms anyway, since resnet disallows private wireless routers, or actually, routers in general) and.. that's it. ;d it seems strange to me that windows xp didn't detect the onboard ethernet adapter.

    The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 600m, and I tried running everything in the CDs that came with it, but hmm, I'm guessing that since it wasn't detected in windows, the driver installation program also refused to install the network driver. I may boot the laptop with knoppix just to check if there's a working network adapter in there at all, but until then, ideas and comments are appreciated :)

Okay I have to type this quick because i only have about 5 minutes until my internet goes out again.

So here's the deal:

I'm using Comcast and windows xp on a newer Dell computer (4600 series I believe)
Connection is fine. I can view webpages for about 10-12 minutes before every single website decides "this page cannot be displayed". I can log on to AIM just fine, and download music from limewire. But it will not display webpages ten minutes after I start my computer. I have read other inquiries about this problem on other pages and no one had responded so I really don't know what to do at this point. Here is what I have tried so far:

*Scanned for viruses and spyware with Spybot Search & destroy, AVG, and Ad-Aware 6
*Followed microsoft troubleshooting
*"repaired" the connection
*Downloaded Mozilla's foxfire, thinking it may just be interent explorer. Problem did not change.
*Downloaded TweakDUN from Majorgeeks.com

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?! I'm so frustrated right now!!!

Okay, I'm designing a site for a friend at www.twelve-oclock.com

For the most part, its going to be a simple website, so I'm not trying to get fancy with it. I decided using frames was a
decent way to handle this.

My problem is this.
My frames match up when I"m 800x600.
But I cant seem to get the frames to match up at the other resolutions.
I'd like it where the menu and the content are always underneath the
header graphic (which is 800 pixels long).

Is there something I'm forgetting here? Why is my context text starting so far over?
I'm sure its something small that I've forgotten, and I would be grateful for any pointers.

Thank you.

I have some knowledge of HTML. In fact, I made my first website (which I never posted on the internet) in HTML. Wasn't very pretty, but it was a good start. The best HTML editor would have to be HTMLed 3.2 (not the Pro). I think the non-pro one is free. It has syntax highlighting and all that jazz.

Does anyone else here have knowledge of HTML?

Hi, I have a technical question about webhosts and servers. Let me know if I should post my question in another community.

I am using Yahoo webhosting. I did a whois search of my domain name using www.whois.sc. Whois.sc reports that the revese IP address Web server hosts 11,000 websites. Does this mean that 11,000 share the same IP address? Does Yahoo's DNS and network uses some kind of network address translator (NAT) to route packets to the proper web server and website?

The revers DNS of the IP address points to a Yahoo.com address, not my domain. Anyway, I am just wondering. It's no big deal.

I need to read the help files about access logs. Later everyone.
