HTML: `text/html`, full-stop.

XHTML: `application/xhtml+xml`, or only if following HTML compatbility guidelines, `text/html`. See the W3 [Media Types Note][1].

XML: `text/xml`, `application/xml` ([RFC 2376][2]).

There are also many other media types based around XML, for example `application/rss+xml` or `image/svg+xml`. It&#39;s a safe bet that any unrecognised but registered ending in `+xml` is XML-based. See the [IANA list][3] for registered media types ending in `+xml`.

(For unregistered `x-` types, all bets are off, but you&#39;d hope `+xml` would be respected.)

The latest upgrade of Ubuntu made my vim colorscheme unusable. I know how to set it manually (`:colo evening`, for example), but I want to set the default for all vim sessions. I see reference in other places to `.vimrc`, but the right location and syntax have eluded me thus far.

I&#39;m looking for the same effect as `alert()` in JavaScript.

I wrote a simple web-based interpreter this afternoon using Twisted.web. You basically submit a block of Python code through a form, and the client comes and grabs it and executes it. I want to be able to make a simple popup message, without having to re-write a whole bunch of boilerplate wxPython or TkInter code every time (since the code gets submitted through a form and then disappears).

I&#39;ve tried tkMessageBox:

    import tkMessageBox
    tkMessageBox.showinfo(title=&quot;Greetings&quot;, message=&quot;Hello World!&quot;)

but this opens another window in the background with a tk icon. I don&#39;t want this. I was looking for some simple wxPython code but it always required setting up a class and entering an app loop etc. Is there no simple, catch-free way of making a message box in Python?

I know that at the time of this writing only Opera supports a browser UI for

    &lt;input type=&quot;date&quot; name=&quot;mydate&quot;&gt;

and maybe my attempts to localize this field have been met with frustration because niceties like localization have not yet been included in their implementation, but I don&#39;t even see mention of it in the HTML5 spec. Is there a way that localization should be specified? Should I do lang=&quot;fr&quot; on a parent element?

Some notes on the implementation of the site in question:

 - Localization (language) is explicitly picked by the user because they are managing data in multiple languages and it is not reasonable to expect that the user&#39;s browser chrome is in the language being viewed or that the browser is providing desired language request headers.
 - I want to be sure that if the page is rendered in French that the date picker provided by browser chrome shows options that make sense for French language.
 - The plan is to fall back to jQueryUI for browsers that do not support type=&quot;date&quot;, I will use the detection mechanism provided in &lt;a href=&quot;http://fortuito.us/diveintohtml5/forms.html#type-date&quot;&gt;Dive into HTML 5&lt;/a&gt;

What does the character code (HTML) `&amp;#8203;`? I found it in one of my jQuery scripts and wondered what it was..

Thanks.

**Edit:**

Here is the script it was in (it was added to the end, found it in Firebug)

In HTML5, the `search` input type appears with a little X on the right that will clear the textbox (at least in Chrome, maybe others). Is there a way to detect when this X is clicked in Javascript or jQuery other than, say, detecting when the box is clicked at all or doing some sort of location click-detecting (x-position/y-position)?

I want to use a custom font for my android application which I am creating.  
I can individually change the typeface of each object from Code, but I have hundreds of them.

So,

  - Is there a way to do this from the XML? [Setting a custom typeface]
  - Is there a way to do it from code in one place, to say that the whole application and all the components should use the custom typeface instead of the default one?

ok, so far I have:

    //[re:test(.,&#39;match&#39;,&#39;i&#39;)] (with re in the proper namespace)

this returns random2, random1 and root... I would like to get only &quot;random2&quot;

any ideas?

How can I POST an XML file to a local server `http://localhost:8080` using cURL from the command line? 

What command should I use?

POST XML file using cURL command line

I&#39;m making an application where a web service fetches (amongst other) a bunch of codes from a webservice (I.e BEL, FRA, SWE). During runtime I want to translate these codes to their apporiate names to display to users (I.e Belgium, France, Sweden). There can be a lot of these codes, so i&#39;m wondering if there is any approriate way to store the (code, name) entry as a some sort of map in the XML resources in Android, so I can quickly fetch the name by the given code?

It&#39;s all about speed here, since the map can have a few hundred entries.

Creating hashmap/map from XML resources

I want to find a minimal set of headers, that work with &quot;all&quot; caches and browsers (also when using **HTTPS**!)

On my web site, I&#39;ll have three kinds of resources:

&lt;h3&gt;(1) Forever cacheable (public / equal for all users)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;sup&gt;Example: 0A470E87CC58EE133616F402B5DDFE1C.cache.html (&lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/FAQ_DebuggingAndCompiling.html#Compiling_for_Web_Mode&quot;&gt;auto generated by GWT&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sup&gt; 

- These files are automatically assigned a new name, when they change content (based on the MD5).

- They should get cached as much as possible, even when using HTTPS (so I assume, I should set `Cache-Control: public`, especially for Firefox?)

- They shouldn&#39;t require the client to make a round-trip to the server to validate, if the content has changed.

&lt;h3&gt;(2) Changing occasionally (public / equal for all users)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;sup&gt;Examples: index.html, mymodule.nocache.js&lt;/sup&gt;

- These files change their content without changing the URL, when a new version of the site is deployed.

- They can be cached, but probably need a round-trip to be revalidated every time.


&lt;h3&gt;(3) Individual for each request (private / user specific)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;sup&gt;Example: JSON responses&lt;/sup&gt;

- These resources should never be cached unencrypted to disk under no circumstances. (Except maybe I&#39;ll have a few specific requests that could be cached.)

---
I have a general idea on which headers I would probably use for each type, but there&#39;s always something I could be missing.

Ideal HTTP cache control headers for different types of resources

I would like to make BIT (Built in tests) to a number of server in my cloud. I need the request to fail on large timeout.

How should I do this with java?

Trying something like the below does not seem to work.

     public static NodeStatus nodeBIT(String elasticIP) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException {
      HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
      client.getParams().setIntParameter(&quot;http.connection.timeout&quot;, 1);
      
      HttpUriRequest request = new HttpGet(&quot;http://192.168.20.43&quot;);
      HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
      
      System.out.println(response.toString());
      return null;
     }
     
     
     public static void main(String[] args) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException {
      nodeBIT(&quot;&quot;);
     }
    }

Java HTTP Client Request with defined timeout

We have a site which is accessed entirely over HTTPS, but sometimes display **external content** which is HTTP (images from RSS feeds, mainly).  The vast majority of our users are also stuck on IE6.

I would ideally like to do both of the following

 * Prevent the IE warning message about insecure content (so that I can show a less intrusive one, e.g. by replacing the images with a default icon as below)
 * Present something useful to users in place of the images that they can&#39;t otherwise see; if there was some JS I could run to figure out which images haven&#39;t been loaded and replace them with an image of ours instead that would be great.

I suspect that the first aim is simply not possible, but the second may be sufficient.

A worst case scenario is that I parse the RSS feeds when we import them, grab the images store them locally so that the users can access them that way, but it seems like a lot of pain for reasonably little gain.

Can we have multiple &lt;tbody&gt; in same &lt;table&gt;?

I have an &lt;a&gt; tag surrounding an image. I have a border set on the div that the &lt;a&gt; tag is in. I have both margin and padding set to 0 but for some reason my &lt;a&gt; tag is still about 3 pixels taller than my image. This leaves a bit of space between the image and the border, which destroys the look that I want to accomplish.

What am I doing wrong? I have tested in both FireFox and Chrome with the same results.
Thanks

White space at bottom of anchor tag

Is there a way to create a list-style in HTML with a dash (i.e. - or &amp;ndash; `&amp;ndash;` or &amp;mdash; `&amp;mdash;`) i.e.

    &lt;ul&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;abc&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;

Outputting:

    - abc

It&#39;s occurred to me to do this with something like `li:before { content: &quot;-&quot; };`, though I don&#39;t know the cons of that option (and would be much obliged for feedback).

More generically, I wouldn&#39;t mind knowing how to use generic characters for list items.


HTML list-style-type dash

Here&#39;s a simple menu structure:

    &lt;/ul&gt;

I want the `&lt;a&gt;` to be stretched so that it fills the entire `&lt;li&gt;`. I tried using something like `width: 100%; height: 100%` but that had no effect. How do I stretch the anchor tag correctly?

As the title says, is it possible to select elements in XPath that only begin with a certain string, but perhaps do not end with the same?

For example there are 3 anchor elements:

    &lt;a href=&quot;buy.php/onething&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;buy.php/twothing&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;sell.php/anotherthing&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

I only want to get anchor elements that begin with &#39;buy.php/&#39;. I don&#39;t think the following will work, will it:

    getByXPath(&quot;//a[@href=&#39;buy.php/&#39;]&quot;)

How can I do this?

Selecting elements whose attribute begins with something in XPath

Is there a rule in CSS that determines the cascading order when multiple classes are defined on an element? (`class=&quot;one two&quot;` vs `class=&quot;two one&quot;`)

Right now, there seems to be no such effect.

Example:  both divs are orange in color on Firefox


    &lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN&quot;
       &quot;http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd&quot;&gt;
    
    &lt;html&gt;
      &lt;head&gt;
        &lt;style&gt;
          .one { border: 6px dashed green }
          .two { border: 6px dashed orange }
        &lt;/style&gt;
      &lt;/head&gt;
    
      &lt;body&gt;
    
      &lt;div class=&quot;one two&quot;&gt;
        hello world
      &lt;/div&gt;
      
      &lt;div class=&quot;two one&quot;&gt;
        hello world
      &lt;/div&gt;

Multiple CSS Classes: Properties Overlapping based on the order defined

I have a PHP script that will generate `&lt;input&gt;`s dynamically, so I was wondering if I needed to filter any characters in the `name` attribute.

&lt;s&gt;I know that the name has to start with a letter, but&lt;/s&gt; I don&#39;t know any other rules. I figure square brackets must be allowed, since PHP uses these to create arrays from form data. How about parentheses? Spaces?

What characters are allowed in the HTML Name attribute inside input tag?

I&#39;m trying to create a table where each row is a form. I want that each input is in a different table division, but I still need that for example, all first inputs belong to the same table head and so on.

**What I&#39;m trying to do is an editable grid**, more or less this:

    &lt;table&gt;
        &lt;tr&gt;
            &lt;form method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;whatever&quot;&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot;/&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot;/&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
            &lt;/form&gt;
        &lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;tr&gt;
            &lt;form method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;whatever&quot;&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot;/&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot;/&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
            &lt;/form&gt;
        &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;/table&gt;

But apparently I cannot arrange the tags in that way (or so is what the w3c validator said).

Any good way to do this?



Create a HTML table where each TR is a FORM

I have the following markup as a part of a Razor view:

    &lt;table&gt;
      &lt;caption&gt;Presidents&lt;/caption&gt;
      &lt;thead&gt;
        &lt;tr&gt;
          &lt;th scope=&quot;col&quot;&gt;Name&lt;/th&gt;
          &lt;th scope=&quot;col&quot;&gt;Born&lt;/th&gt;
          &lt;th scope=&quot;col&quot;&gt;Died&lt;/th&gt;
        &lt;/tr&gt;
      &lt;/thead&gt;
      &lt;tbody&gt;
        &lt;tr&gt;
          &lt;th scope=&quot;row&quot;&gt;Washington&lt;/th&gt;
          &lt;td&gt;1732&lt;/td&gt;
          &lt;td&gt;1799&lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;!-- etc --&gt;
      &lt;/tbody&gt;
    &lt;/table&gt;

With the &quot;target schema for validation&quot; set to HTML5, Visual Studio complains thusly:

&gt;Warning	1	Validation (HTML5): Element &#39;th&#39; must not be nested within element &#39;tbody tfoot&#39;.

Is this really true? If so, could someone link to the spec?

My understanding was that using `&lt;th&gt;` for row headers was not just legal but encouraged. It certainly seems fairly common, I could link dozens of tutorials explaining (seemingly sensibly) that it helps with accessibility.

Is this a VS bug? A real change coming with HTML5 (a good one? a bad one?)? What&#39;s the story?


Does HTML5 ban th cells from tbody?

This question has bothered me for a million years... whenever I create a website with a textarea that allows multi-line (such as a &quot;Bio&quot; for a user&#39;s profile) I always end up writing the following paranoid code:

    // C# code sample...
    bio = bio.Replace(&quot;\r\n&quot;, &quot;\n&quot;).Replace(&quot;\r&quot;, &quot;\n&quot;);
    bio = Regex.Replace(@&quot;\n{2,}&quot;, &quot;\n\n&quot;);

So, what do browsers send up for a `&lt;textarea name=&quot;Bio&quot;&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;` if it has multiple lines?
