All webmaster should already knows that some CSS code may not compatible from one browser to another. You may noticed that on the CSS code would be a list of redundant code in order to hack this out. However, while surfing today, I found one good simple tricks for min-height and min-width CSS code that is compatible across all common versions of Safari, Firefox and IE. Maybe you already found and use it. I'm posting this for my notes and maybe it could be helpful for others too...

So in the example above, the block will be given the min-height setting you specify, and the height:auto will take precedence over the height:100px, even though it appears earlier in the code.

Long time ago, I've been interested in creating an application to translate English to Malay, and Malay to English . However, up until now, I'm still here, sitting with nothing comes out of my tiny little brain. No single code... Hopefully, if I have time to spent on this "personal" non-profit project, I want to share it with all of you. Maybe I'll create a page like Babel Fish or Google Translate to help you in translating English phrase or website to Malay and vice versa. Babel Fish is using SYSTRAN , while Google Translate use their own translation software. I always interested in what google is doing, because maybe I'm crazy about how google have done in revolutionize this information technology world as we already know. Many thanks to people in google for helping me out with this FREE technology. They make my self-learning journey become easier from day to day. Uh, I do get money from Google Adsense too...

A simple PHP script could be use to redirect visitor from the page they entered to a different web page. There is lot of reason you may want to do this including: You may have links that is no longer exists in your domain You don't want anybody to browse your parent directory where you don't have any index page in it Or maybe you may want to shorten your long url like TinyUrl. Using this simple method, they can be seamlessly transfered to the new page without having to click a link to continue. Why use PHP for redirecting? Here's some reason on why we are using PHP for redirecting. Users are redirected quickly and seamlessly When using the 'Back' button, the user is taken to the last viewed page, not the redirect page Works on all browsers However, you have to make sure that your web host do support PHP in order to do this.
