Tip of the Day

Why to avoid the "basefont" element for formatting?

That is one of those tags that is deprecated and only supported in Internet Explorer. Yes, I know that many people use IE today, but you shouldn't use the "basefont" tag to style your webpages.

CSS has many more advantages. CSS can do the job for your formatting. Like I said in my first Tip of the Day, you shouldn't be using the "font" element.

A useful tip.

Tip of the Day

Do not use VBScript.

You may already know that it is only supported in Internet Explorer, but if you haven't heard of it yet, avoid using it because, like I said, it is only supported in Internet Explorer. I never studied VBScript because of that reason.

Instead, use a different language like JavaScript (what I use). It works in the browsers used today. Very, very old browsers don't support it, which you won't really have to worry about. But just don't use VBScript. I have never understood the purpose of it.

Just a tip. A good one.

Tip of the Day

Avoid behaviors.

They are only supported in IE5+. Behaviors introduced dynamic content in CSS. You can do the same thing with CSS3 or JavaScript.

Most developers should already know this, but I have posted it just incase you don't.

Just a tip. Hopefully useful.
