I found an article online published in October 2012 that says only 20% of web users rely on IE9, while a huge 38% rely on older versions of IE. Old IE6 is even _gaining_ market share. Does this mean that html5 tools such as SVG graphics should be avoided for …

I need a code snippet that causes the browser to zoom in on webpage content when a link within the webpage is clicked. Is there even a single, standard way to do this with all browsers? I've tried looking around for the code but haven't been able to find it. …

My webhost uses Varnish Cache, so, when I upload a revised webpage by ftp using the same filename and the Replace option, the changes are not reflected in the displayed webpage for some time. That's annoying for me, and I've been told how to turn off Varnish Cache, but I'm …

My draft webpage currently has a <head> but no <body>. It links to a css stylesheet that exists in the expected location but is currently blank. When I loaded it into Firefox 17.0.1 for Win XP, the error console returned these three messages: > Could not read chrome manifest 'file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/extensions/%7B972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd%7D/chrome.manifest'. …

I set out to learn html4.01 and 5, css, javascript and perhaps php with a view to developing strong technical web design skills that can be applied to designing websites from scratch. My reasoning is that I'm a bit deficient on the visual creativity side and could perhaps compensate by …

The following js script receives the variable "datum" from an external source and evaluates what type of data it is.

As an exercise to help learn JS, I wrote a short bit of code that defines an array of random integers and then randomly logs one of them. Here's the code: var turkey = true var crud = [] for (i=0;i<10;i++) { j = abs(Math.random()* 10); crud.push[j]; } while (turkey) …

Have a look at this snippet: var changeNumber = function(number) { return number + 5; }; var newNumber = 4; changeNumber(newNumber); alert(newNumber); I've been taught that the function should reassign whatever value it returns to the global variable NewNumber, so that newNumber should change from 4 to 9.
