First, the table. Each number shows how many rows fit into a table where every row always contained 1 int value and 6 string values, all with the same string length (the available field length could be larger). First, the lengths were stored using the non-Var data type. Then the same was done with the …

This morning, when I was at the post office picking up a letter, I also stopped by Vaclavik – a computer store in Tesin. They didn’t have W8 yet, so at least we chatted about it – apparently if I buy an OEM copy without a new PC, that’s illegal, but since I have a …

Today, something completely relaxing and simple. The whole thing comes down to inserting a single HTML tag into the aspx file: XML<p class="chyba" id="errors" runat="server" visible="false" enableviewstate="false"> <p></p> which will not appear in the resulting markup at all thanks to Visible="false", and will not be shown again even if the user refreshes (reloads) the page …

I have just spent a very long time on this again, and finally, after endless googling that went on for hours, I discovered a solution that actually works. The only 2 “special” techniques this solution uses are z-index and absolute positioning: HTML code: XML<!– The first image has a folder icon – the file tnFolder.png …

Today I got up at roughly the same time as yesterday – I woke up around 12 or 1. I spent a very long time fiddling with “trivial stuff” like playing a song in mp3 or wma using MediaElement. You can find an article on how to do it here 👻 This link is now …

I did not get much done today, because the day was all about trying out something completely new, and above all I got up at 1:30 PM. First I looked into the down arrow, like the one you can see on Google, for example. After a lot of testing in every browser imaginable, I figured …

In the evening at 6:30 PM I finally finished adding cats to the cattery. It works simply: go to the cat’s profile and click the “Add to my cattery” button, or “Remove from my cattery” if the cat is already in your cattery. I kept on programming, and shortly before 9 PM I ran out …

I spent 2 hours on this today, so I hope it helps someone to spend less time on it. My problem was that I was trying to do it in HTML5 alone. I didn’t think about combining HTML + CSS, and at that point I didn’t care how it would look. I wanted to avoid …
