Some interesting findings from web-dev land…
You can stop nested elements triggering their parent element event handlers (DOM bubbling) using this handy jQuery method:
http://api.jquery.com/event.stopImmediatePropagation/
I ran into this issue whilst working on a calendar/scheduling app. Where day containing elements needed click events and their child elements needed click events too.

I’ve wrapped that up into a jQuery function here:

1<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Press to continue" />
Change the name attribute to something else other than submit and it works fine ;]
Uploaded my first site today that uses SWF Upload to handle large file uploads. The admin area of that site had basic Apache HTTP authentication via a .htaccess file.
SWF Upload failed with a 401 error after testing. It seems you can’t use this style of authentication with the current version of SWF Upload. Something to [...]
I wanted to apply a different set of css styles to a degraded non-javascript version of a page to maintain some accessibility aspects.
I wrestled for a while with the <noscript> tag but this fails to validate in the head section of a HTML/XHTML document. This wasn’t a good enough way to do things.
Eventually (with a [...]
