WebProWorld Members,
I find it humorous that something as simple as a
web browser has such a profound
impact on people. Some people live and die by a
certain one. I've gotten into heated discussions
with people regarding the benefits of Firefox and
Internet Explorer. Depending on who I'm arguing
against, I'll take one side over the other. Just
because I'm a huge fan of debating.
I've heard all the compelling points for browser
support. IE displays content in a way that is
more pleasing to the eye. Firefox has security measures
that you won't find on any other browser. Those
are just a couple of arguments I've heard before.
The truth I find is that the more I use various
browsers, the more I find that they're the same.
Of course there are some subtle differences. If
you're a very particular person then Firefox has
a slew of add-ons to take advantage of. However,
that doesn't make it the great escape from IE that
everyone makes it out to be. At the end of the day,
both products bring us the glorious internet.
The debate of web browsers in my eyes paints a perfect
picture of the idiocies of human behavior. We become
so engrained in thinking a certain way, or staying
with a certain product that we can't be told anything
different. I believe I've mentioned it before in
my writing, but think about the debate between Coke
and Pepsi. Which one is better you ask,
well that depends on who you talk to.
Along with Firefox, and Internet Explorer there
are a slew of other browsers out there. All of which
do primarily the same thing -- act as a portal for
the world wide web. So, what little things keep
you from using one web browser over the other? Are
you a designer and hate all the browsers, with the
intricacies you have to mind when designing a site?
Come on, I know you're out there.

User-Friendly PHP/MySQL Front End?
I'm working on a project, and before I start on the second phase, I want to make sure I'm not duplicating the work of an application that may already be out there.
What I've created thus far is a simple form that allows prospective customers to register for our services. The form gets written to several tables, one that holds username, password and email, another that holds demographic information (full name, address, etc.). All of the tables are linked by a common userID.
The second part of the puzzle is this. On our end, we want our people to be able to log into a user-friendly manager that will allow them to pull up a contact and see all of the information we want for them to see (hiding unnecessary fields such as passwords, ID fields, etc.). The person on our end would also be able to add notes to a separate notes table, also related to the users by a userID.
What I'm wondering is, is there an application already out there that lets you set up a user-friendly display and link tables, decide what fields to show, etc? Or am I doing this one from scratch?

It seems you call keyword stuffing title attributes a good means of SEO. This alone would make me not hire you.

"Hijacking" Google search results then putting them on a parasite webpage:Good or bad
Sheesh.....cursed short title boxes.
"Hijacking" or stealing Google search results then putting them on a parasite webpage: Good or bad for the websites that are *ON* the page?
Check out this useless parasite website. Does anyone know the point of a webpage like this? factorysource[dot]net . Scroll way down. WTF?? Yeah. (I did not make it clickable on purpose, I'm not about to give it any IBL credit). They've apparently "hijacked" or stolen a G feed, at the very least copied it (which should be illegal). So would this harm those websites that are in the result feed, help them, or neither?
Notice the first crap-load of them are search results for employee and awards. But next they are search results for toys, fundraising, incentives, then electronics, wholesale, consumer, battery operated, ethnic doll, and on and on. Wow, that's a load of OBL's.
Of course, G rewards this blatant blackhat BS with a first page placement for fund raising toys while honest site owners such as myself get screwed by them.
(I'm not in the same genre as they are by any stretch, I just happened to accidentally find that webpage while checking how badly my white-hat pages had dropped.....again, and it's BS like in the index that pi$$es me off. Sorry but it's frustrating and maddening. Maybe we can get a forum started or a sticky thread started about blackhat websites, where we can post garbage like this! Oh, but I guess that would be good for them because G would reward them with IBL credit and increased PR. Everyone would have to remember to always type the URL so they would never be recognizable by bots).
So I'm curious as to the point of all this and what it hopes to accomplish. Hmmm, I guess I answered my own question since they have first-page-placement. It obviously works for them. But what does it do for the websites that are in those results that appear on the page? I see this a lot at countless websites.

For SEO, does it matter if you have H1 and H3 tags without any H2 tags on the page?

Ajax (Sajax) callback question
I've only just tarted with Sajax and have a blockage!
I'd like to have just one function which will display an animated icon with the text "Loading. Please wait..." or similar. This will be re-usable throughtout the site.

And Then There Were Two
Yahoo and Microsoft have finally partnered in a search agreement. A deal has been anticipated ever since Microsoft tried to buy Yahoo for 44.6 billion in early 2008. This current proposed deal however, looks nothing like that original offer. The companies have not disclosed all financial terms of the deal, but it does not appear that Yahoo received any upfront payment.
