Unstyled Times New Roman was the norm, and the integration of established typographical techniques and rules was unimagined. But times change. Since the adoption of CSS into mainstream Web design, we have entered a new age of Web typography. This facet of design has been opened up to the Web designer in a way t...

Almost a full year ago I (Scott Mitchell) began writing a regular article series about the ASP.NET DataGrid Web control. The series, titled An Extensive Examination of the DataGrid Web Control, as of February 2003, is comprised of 13 parts.In beginning an in-depth examination into the DataGrid, I realized that my online article series could easily span 50 to 100 "parts."

Flash email dateline 2 years ago: everybody wanted to do it; no one seemed able to pull it off correctly. Flash email dateline now: see above. It's been a few years since we took a long, hard look at Flash email, the promises of those pushing rich media technologies, and those pesky little things like "email Clients" or "Firewalls" that seem to get in the way. Flash email is still very much an enterprise-class solution at this point. There are a lot of marketers who say they can design Flash ema...

Unless you limit yourself to one-page Web sites, you will need to design navigation. In fact, navigation is among the most important parts of any Web design, and requires a great deal of thought if visitors are to get around your site easily. Making site navigation easy is one area in which CSS really comes into its own. Older methods of creating navigation tended to rely on lots of images, nested tables and JavaScript—all of which can seriously affect the usability and accessibility of a site. ...

HTML email newsletters are a win-win for publishers and readers. Publishers can track rates for email opens, pass-throughs, and click-throughs to measure reader interest. Readers get information laid out like Web pages which is (in theory) much easier to scan and navigate than a top-down plain text email. For programmers, however, coding HTML email newsletters can be a mixed bag of joy, misery, and pain. The biggest misery is that some email software programs slice your precious code into their ...

Well, no longer will I sit on the side line while the same arguments get rehashed again and again, which will not get us anywhere. In this article, which I originally published in my blog, I'll attempt to answer this question: does the future of the Internet lie with HTML or XHTML?

More and more Web developers are ditching tables and coming round to the idea of using CSS to control the layouts of sites. And, given the many benefits of using CSS, such as quicker download time, improved accessibility and easier site management, why not? Historically, the main problem with using CSS has been a lack of browser support. This is no longer the case, as version 5 browsers, which all provide good support for CSS, now account for over 99% of the browsers in use. The problem that rem...
