Google has decided to end support for IE6 on Google Docs suite and Google Sites editor from 1st March 2010. This will be followed by Google Mail and Google calendar later in the year.

Drupal 6, like Drupal 5 before it, has the JQuery javascript library built-in. Among other things the library makes it child's play to make AJAX requests.

Web sites cannot be designed to please all people all the time. Equally, a website without visitors is a waste. People visit websites for different reasons, such as:

• Find general information about a subject
• Access hard to find resources or resources not readily available elsewhere
• Download/use software
• Correspond with people
• Get feedback from the public
• Learning resources
• For fun and relaxation
• To make a living
• To buy goods and services

Character codes (eg ASCII, ISO8859-1, Unicode) can be specified in decimal or hex notation. Similarly, HTML numeric character references may take two forms:

• The syntax "&#D;", where D stands for a decimal number.
• The syntax "&#xH;" or "&#XH;", where H stands for a hexadecimal number. Hexadecimal numbers in numeric character references are not case-sensitive.

Element positioning is now part of the CSS2 standard, but started life as a supplement to CSS1. Positioning an element is placing it at some location in the current positioning context.

You can think of a positioning context as a two-dimensional rectangular space with the origin at the top left, with X-coordinates increasing towards the right, and Y-coordinates increasing towards the bottom. The default positioning context is the whole browser window or frame, with its origin (the 0,0 coordinate) at the top left of the window. Each time you position an element (using the 'position' attribute), it defines a new positioning context for its child elements.

A style sheet is a set of rules for defining how one or more web pages should be formatted. A style sheet allows for separation of content and how that content should be presented. CSS (cascading style sheets) is the W3C standard style sheet definition for the displaying a page on the web.

Although CSS has been around for a bit, browser support is not yet fully standards compliant. Vendors tended to implement the different rules according to their own interpretation. Browser support has improved considerably, even for IE ( one of the least compliant browsers) with the pending release IE7. For more on browser support, head over to W3Schools CSS Reference or QuirksMode.

We are all guilty to some extent of eating for reasons other than because we are hungry. We eat because we are stressed, angry, annoyed, stressed again, partying, and just to fit in.

Probably the worst culprit is stress. Most of us suffer from relatively high levels of chronic stress from work, kids, partner, or the universe in general. Through evolution our bodies have been conditioned to respond to stress: they trigger the familiar fight or flight response. This response releases chemicals which lead to fat storage.

Consider two siblings - they eat the same food and live under the same conditions. Yet one is obese and the other is slim. Why? The reasons why we gain weight are complex, and involve more than just dieting and exercise.

Some people seem to eat till they drop yet stay slim, while others gain weight much more easily. Some people get hungrier sooner, others are emotional eaters. Experts are finding that genetic factors play a big part in weight gain.

Weight loss drugs might sound like the easy option to take to lose weight. But you should consider other methods before using weight loss drugs.

The best way of losing weight is the natural way - through dieting and exercise. Some people struggle to lose weight. They do all all the right things, but the weight does not come off.

PHP is an interpreted language. Your scripts have to be parsed and compiled into intermediate code every time your scripts are called. This includes all your include files, even if your script is just to use a tiny portion of those include files. PHP then execute the intermediate code.
