Mouseover Images - Hidden images Better than Onload Images

If you are trying to change images on some mouse overs effects and are faced with slow loading of mouseover images then most obvious solution is putting these images in BODY unload but these new browsers still show these images slowly

The Good solution is put all these images in pages and put the Width and height to Zero so images will be already on page and mouse over will be instant

NO VGA Signal

One of our staff was trying to plugin a extra speaker to his machine (Running XP Professions) when he encountered a NO VGA Signal
Machine will look like starting but monitor will show an error NO VGA Signal before going blank

Changing Monitor did not help

The problem was somehow his RAM was moved and removing it and adding it again works !

I wonder why this Branded Desktops from COMPAQ has so poor Inetnals that adding a speaker wire will make RAMS moved its place

Div/Layer Postion absolute

If you are struggling to position a DIV into tight place and different browsers are showing it different with screen resolution changes,you can try something like

left:expression((document.body.clientWidth/2)-359);

set the last 359 according to your page and you should get great results in all resolutions in Firefox,IE and Opera

Strange Charcaters  in Firefox on Top Of Page

I was struck with  the strange characters at top of page in Firefox
These characters was NOT in IE or Opera

The Cause was

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

at Top Of page,looks FF has problem in charset type

simply removing this line solve the issue

Through I guess mentioning META charset type is a good idea but I will think about that later

Protect Your Articles

I was stunned to see some of my self written articles copied by someone else using a wordpress plugin wp-o-matic
The Guy has copied all of my articles as such without even giving me a reference

Through a simple email make him say sorry and remove those instantly I wondered How I can stop this now.wp-o-matic is using BLOG data feeds to copy content and simple answer is change your feed settings to not have full article in feeds.This way if someone copy then it will be only a part of it.
Through you can always disable full RSS feeds I think it might not be very good idea.
In Blogger you can set FEEDS display in Settings-->Site Feed-->Allow Blog Feeds

Difference between Hurricane, Cyclone and Tornado

As hurricane Ike and hurricane Gustav leading to large scale devastation in United States of America, I have often wondered why some parts of World do not have these violent high pressure events.

May be someone could tell me that. I also live along the ocean coast lines but I have never heard of hurricane . A couple of days ago, I heard weatherman refer to certain kind of hurricane as cyclone. I was totally surprised as I always believed that hurricane and cyclone is the different thing. This added to my curiosity and decided to conduct a research in order to get an answer for my question. I decided to do a conduct a research on this matter. The answer that I got left me flabbergasted. I came to know that hurricane, cyclone and tornado are one and the same thing.
If a storm is formed in the Atlantic or eastern Pacific Ocean then it is known as hurricane. Every storm that endangers the United States is a hurricane. Cyclones are the storms that originate in the Southern Pacific. Generally they are not prevalent as hurricanes because of the cold water temperatures. Tornadoes often occur in the northern hemisphere. A tornado is generally small in diameter and rapidly rotating winds form a vortex that is accompanied with a thunderstorm that could be quite devastating. A tornado is also known by the name twister. Tornadoes are very difficult to study and predict.
It does not matter what we called them. These three are all dangerous storms that can be quite devastating on their day.

Google Chrome and Internet Explorer

Google Chrome and Internet Explorer

Google Inc. has launched its own web browser known as ‘Google Chrome’. It does much of what a new browser must do today. Its appearance is sleek, groups the various pages into easily manageable tabs and offers the control to the users to control their Internet privacy settings.

The tabs of the Google Chrome are placed at the top of the window. This significant feature is missing in the Internet Explorer web browser.

It is very much difficult to locate some of the commands in Google Chrome, which is rather easy to find in Internet Explorer. For example, it is really difficult to observe the page source of a web as compared to the Internet Explorer.

Google Chrome currently runs on a windows operating system as compared to the Internet Explorer that runs on any operating system.

It is rather difficult for the user to analyze the tabs that are causing certain problems in the Internet Explorer. On the other hand, the task of locating the problem creating tabs is extremely easy as the Google Chrome has the task manager, which allows the user to observe the amount of memory each tab is consuming and solve the problem by closing the tab that is creating the problems.

Sometimes, Internet Explorer browser stops functioning when the JavaScript engine gets hung up. On the other hand, the Google Chrome web browser does not stops functioning even if in case there is some problem in the JavaScript engine.

Google Chrome do not have menu bar and there is no way to add it. Instead of menu bar it consists of browser tabs for each web page that has been opened by the user. On the other hand, Internet Explorer has the menu bar, which is extremely simpler to use.

Google Chrome (Google Browser) Features

Google Chrome (Google Browser) Features

Google Chrome is a web browser developed by search engine giant Google. It is fully equipped with sophisticated, latest, modern and high quality technology that provides you a rich searching experience. It is simply faster, safer and more importantly easier to use than any other browsers. Users having Windows Vista and Windows XP can easily download the brand new and exciting Google Chrome. It is one of those applications that have been designed keeping in mind the needs of today’s web applications.

Google Chrome Features :
The following are some of the wonderful features of Google Chrome:

Address Bar :
One of the exciting features of Google Chrome address bar is that you can go anywhere you want that too with the help of one address bar box. You can do certain amount of work with just one bar. Besides searching for the various websites on its address bar, you can also use it as a search box for searching any topics, content and many more things. It also provides the benefit of bookmarking a webpage that you have access in the future. It also provides unique website security during accessing or transmitting the data. If you access any website then it detects whether the data from the accessed website will flow securely through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or not.

New Tab Page :
When you access the Google Chrome Page then it also preloads it with some other web resources that you might be using too often. There may be time that you have to access a particular site more frequently and you have to always type its address over and over again. The new tab page feature of the Chrome Google page reduces this problem considerably as it provides the thumbnails images and links for those images automatically. In case, you are working on Google Chrome page and you unknowingly or accidently close it, then you might fear the loss of various website links that you searched by devoting a lot of time. The new tab page stores the links that you accidently closed and this feature of Google Chrome will surely make you flabbergasted.

Application Windows :
One of the most delightful features of Google Chrome is application windows. You may be using a host of various services or websites such as email services. These websites or services generally work like the existing programs as same as to those on your desktop. The applications windows feature of the Google Chrome supports these services by providing a special window especially for these services.

Downloading a File :
Google Chrome makes your downloading much easier and faster that you will ever experience. When you download a particular file then a download bar appears at the bottom of the tab whereby you can easily observe the progress of your download materials. The download tab also shows you the progress of the downloading file by indicating the time remaining for the completion of download. That’s not all, Google Chrome has a very exciting task manager in which you can observe the sites that are using more memory, downloading the most bytes and getting your CPU to work slowly.
