Any phonetic script can be learned in just a few hours If you liked my association technique mentioned below, you would also enjoy my tips on using imagination to memorize vocabulary, which are discussed in great detail with many other hacks in the Language Hacking Guide. See the most popular posts on the right below for other interesting topics. For those curious, this post discusses Thai, but the ideas can equally be applied to other phonetic scripts such as Japanese (but not as well for Chinese). Just one week into the challenge of reading/speaking Thai in 8 weeks (actually only about 5 hours total, since I’ve been quite busy since I arrived, but I’ve made time to learn on the skytrain/in restaurants/taxis etc.) and I’ve reached the first major milestone already. I can read Thai. The major thing still missing is tones, which admittedly are an extremely important part of this language that cannot be ignored and I will get to shortly (Edit: Done! It was actually way easier than I expected. From squiggly symbols to new letters า ท Challenges ร
CSS-Only, Table-less Forms :: Code Samples :: Jeff Howden :: JeffHowden.com Licensing I've gotten alot of email asking about using this work in various projects and sites. These requests often need me to license my work using one of the myriad of open source licenses. Unfortunately, for the people requesting, I don't like any of these licenses as pretty much all of them require me to allow redistribution, which I'm not ok with. So, to quell any further requests in that vein, let me just say that anybody looking to use my work should check my copyright as everything is clearly laid out in there. In essence, if you want to hire me to implement this work in a project or site or it'll be for a non-commercial project that won't be redistributed, then we can probably work something out. Backend For those that automatically assume I'm using PHP, sorry to burst your bubble. Most of the CSS-only, table-less forms available suck. The problems with Mac/IE5.2 probably aren't worth fixing.

PHP Mail Form: Secure and Protected » tutorialtastic.co.uk The one major downside to the ever-changing fast paced cyber world that we call the Internet is the speed at which code becomes outdated and new security issues are discovered. This tutorial covers the basics as set forth in previous tutorialtastic mail form guides with new, more advanced security techniques and spam-blocking measures. Firstly, the key to any mail form is the actual form — this tutorial is pointless without it. So, we start with the <form> tag — this is where we specify how our data is sent and the file we’ll use to process that data. We’re going to use POST to send our data (GET reveals the info sent in the URL, leaving it open to easier theft) and we’ll be creating a file called form-process.php to sort out our stuff. So, this looks like: <html><head><title>My Mail Form</title></head><body><form method="post" action="form-process.php"></form></body></html> (Save this in a file called form.php or form.html) Notice how each field has a name? <? <? <? Phew. …and that’s it!
Stupid Windows 7 trick: unlock the secret God Mode folder So, what exactly is God Mode in Windows 7? Well, for starters, it's not really a mode. And it's nothing you need to be a deity to pull off, either. Rather, it's a folder packed with shortcuts to just about every settings change and administrative function in Windows 7. Everything you'll find in the Action Center, Backup and Restore, Autorun, Desktop Gadgets, Devices and Printers -- it's all there. All dumped in one central location for easy access. No, this trick doesn't involve entering IDDQD in the run box - but it's just about that simple. Create a new folder anywhere (I set mine up in d:\) Rename the folder and paste in the following text: GodMode.

Applying CSS to forms CSS has come a long way in the 12 years since this article was written. Read our latest blog article to check out our latest thoughts on where we see CSS going in 2016! Forms are an essential part of interaction on the Internet but they can look rather drab. The original form That form looks horrible! <form action="#"><p><label for="name">Name</label><input id="name" type="text" /></p><p><label for="e-mail">E-mail</label><input id="e-mail" type="text" /></p><p class="submit"><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></p></form> Positioning the form with CSS The first thing we need to do to the form is make it line up nicely. Right, let's go through that CSS bit-by-bit. The margin-right: 0.5em CSS command means the labels will have a small amount of spacing after them, so that the text isn't up against the input box. The submit button has a left margin of 4.5em so that it aligns with the input boxes, which are 5em from the left. So, putting that altogether gives us this form: The final form

So said the Gods of the W3C when they handed man the gift of CSS 1. Much good was done with this boon from the heavens. Content and style – once entangled like the roots of a mangrove – were cloven in twain. Code was lightened, CSS files were cached and a peace descended over the land. I'm not pointing fingers here, but even though forms aren't usually the best looking part of a Web site sometimes you've got to resist the urge to style them, for usability's sake. Form elements come from deep within your Operating System, they're the primordial substance of Web pages, and there's a reason why they look like they do. So, why give a form element a uniform one pixel border and make it just look like a box with a word in it? I have only seen one instance of styling form elements where I have thought "yes, that really is an improvement over the default appearance." Example: It even looks OK if you don't want to use an image: Categories
Making TUGZip Shell Extensions Work In Vista x86_64 For those of you that don’t know what TUGZip is, it’s a free archiving utility (think WinZip) developed by Christian Kindahl which is also the developer of my favorite burning software InfraRecorder . And honestly, the only reason why I found out about TUGZip is because of it’s link in the InfraRecorder website. If it wasn’t there I would have never, ever…found out about TUGZip. I’ve only been using TUGZip for a couple of months and I was trying to look for a solution in their forums and it looks like this problem with a 64-bit operating system has been going on for years. So my question is, if there’s still no 64-bit shell extension for TUGZip what will happen if we do the opposite? To start Windows Explorer in 32-bit mode, we need to create a shortcut. Now you can’t just make a shortcut and just put C:\Windows\SysWOW64\explorer.exe you need to add the /separate switch so that that specific process of Windows Explorer is well…separate from the 64-bit version of Windows Explorer.
A Better Login System | Nettuts+ Net.tuts+ has published several great tutorials on user login systems. Most tutorials only deal with authenticating the user, which allows for two levels of security: logged in and not logged in. For many sites, a finer degree of control is needed to control where users can go and what they can do. Creating an access control list (ACL) system will give you the flexibility for granular permissions. Introduction Imagine you are running a great tutorial site that lets users learn about a wide variety of web development techniques. Your problem You want to restrict users' to only specific pages that their particular account allows access to. The solution Implementing an access control list will allow you a great deal of control over what users can and cannot access on your site. If you view the demo, available with the downloadable source code, you will be greeted with an index page that tests the ACL for each user. Step 1: Create the Database Step 2: Database Include Step 3: Create the ACL Class
