Using HTML entities is the right way to ensure all the characters on your page are validated. However, often finding the right entity code requires scanning through 250 rows of characters.
This lookup allows you to quickly find the entity based on how it looks, e.g. like an < or the letter c.

Creating an Outlook Navigation Bar using the ListView and Accordion Controls
Matt Berseth explains how to create an Outlook like navigation pane in ASP.Net with a combination of an Accordion Ajax Control and the ListView control.
Nice example of how the new Ajax controls in the ASP.NET Ajax Control Toolkit can extend the user experience of regular ASP.Net applications with a minimum of code.
One of the designers on our UI team requested a screen mockup with a page layout that is similar to your typical email client. The page is divided vertically into 2 panes. The left pane contains a 2 level hierarchy of categories and subcategories. As the user selects different subcategories the designer wants the right pane’s content to be updated with the corresponding information. Just like Outlook, the designer wants the subcategories to be displayed within expanding and collapsing panels.

Dust-Me Selectors Version 2.0
After many months of toiling in our secret underground laboratories, Dust-Me Selectors Version 2.0 is finally here!
If you’re one of the many people who made suggestions or commented on the original version, you’ll be pleased to know that the new version incorporates everything you asked for and more.
It was quite a challenge to bring all this together, particularly since Mozilla’s documentation is so … er … erratic (in fact for some functionality I had to look in Firefox’s source code just to figure out how it’s done!) But there’s nothing like a challenge to exercise the mind, and I think you’ll agree that the final result is well worth the gritty struggle.
How To Minimize Your Javascript and CSS Files for Faster Page Loads
Over the last 11 years I’ve spent a great deal of time trying to improve client websites with an eye for minimalist interface design and code. While the minimalist design esthetic is not the choice for every client the notion of less code and faster load times always goes over well. Today, many of web applications I design and code for have a plethora of Javascript and CSS files. Fortunately, there are many options to solve this rather simple problem. Compression, obfuscation and bundling are all great options.
Below you’ll find a list of the sites I’ve visited to learn more about Javascript and CSS compression. Please let me know through email or a comment if you know of any other great compression resources, and I’ll be glad to post them. Most of the descriptions below are taken from the developers of the example. Thanks, Max.

Google Code Revamps with jQuery
This is a very nice example of how the open technologies of jQuery and Google API’s can be combined to create very powerful websites.
We have revamped Google Code, the site which is the home to developers, and open source hosting. A ton of work went into cleaning up the UI integrating and unifying content, and simplifying.
The site uses jQuery for a lot of its work, and also eats a lot of dogfood.

A List Apart: Articles: Graceful E-Mail Obfuscation
Many web users don’t understand the inevitable consequences of exposing their e-mail address on the web. Experienced web developers and website owners, however do. Thousands of spam bots tirelessly crawl the web to collect e-mail addresses exposed on websites, in blog comments and elsewhere. These addresses end up in databases sold to unsavory marketers, who bombard the owners’s inboxes with unsolicited mail.
Of course, spam is an increasingly complicated problem that can never be solved by the efforts of web developers alone. But don’t underestimate your own powers.
Aptana Studio
We are very proud to have released Aptana Studio 1.0 (formerly Aptana IDE). After over two years of non-stop development and close to a million downloads, we have finally reached ‘1.0’. Along with the release of 1.0, we have also created two editions of the product: Community and Professional. The Community Edition is the keystone of the Studio product, where all core features and capabilities are developed. The Professional Edition brings additional features and services beyond the free Community edition. Aptana Studio isn’t the only product we’re working on, and you’ll see more from us soon. In the mean time, if you are using Aptana Studio professionally, support our efforts by ‘going Pro’. Whichever edition you chose to use, Community or Professional, we look forward to your feedback, feature requests, and comments. It is our community that helps us build a better product — a product that ultimately is for you.
