Cool things in technology.
Internet Explorer forces you to “Click to activate and use this control” when encountering items such as Flash, Java Applets, Media Players and other objects.
There are a number of ways to fix this issue, Google it. But if you’re lazy and want an answer here and now, you’re in luck.
You will need to download 2 JavaScript files (linked below) and slightly modify the object tag (<object>) as shown below.
Not much to say here really, there’s a single, small script I use all the time. There’s nothing to add to the head of your document. All you need to do is add a tiny bit of script to your HREF tag like so:
<a href="javascript:window.scrollTo(0,0)">This is the link</a>

Sometimes you need to password protect a directory and your only available option is using .htaccess. This comprehensive guide will show you how to do that as well as using .htaccess for other things such as preventing hot linking and blocking bots.
*Note:
You can also prevent image hot linking with PHP and mod_rewrite.

Provides code for a good starting base at CSS navigation using List Items. (<li>)
There are many benefits to using CSS list item navigation menus that I won’t go into. I just highly suggest you use them if at all possible. The site won’t give you everything for all your needs, but as I said – it will give you a great starting point to work from. It’s as simple as modifying the code to suit your needs. Once you review the code and see how it works, you’ll use that style of coding as much as I do.

I don’t know of any developer that couldn’t benefit from version control (aka revision control, aka source control).
I’ve used several different version control systems including StarTeam (one of my favorites) and Visual SourceSafe. Not everyone can afford a product like those, and sometimes it might be considered overkill.
If you need a free version control system, I highly recommend using Subversion in conjunction with TortoiseSVN. I’ve been using it for awhile now and on several different projects – it gets the job done, easily.
Subversion is a version control system intended to be a replacement for CVS in the open source community. Many open source projects can be disasters, but this is not one of them.
TortoiseSVN is a Subversion client, implemented as a windows shell extension. There’s no easier way to use Subversion that with TortoiseSVN. Again, all of this is free!
