Recently I ran into an issue with IE 8, but all the other versions of IE and Firefox, Chrome, and Safari looked just fine! Some of the sites I work on happen to get extremely large and the CSS, HTML portions get split up over several files. Because of this often times its easy to miss something. Especially when there has been 5-6 developers in that section over time.

When dealing with Cross Browser support I find that HTML validation is a must. It may not resolve every issue that comes up to bat, but it will certainly help on some crazy pesky issues.

One of my issues lately with my CMS system has been the TinyMCE (Wysiwig Editor). Doing example code has been extremely painful. As everytime I would go back in to make an edit I would have to rewrite the examples as it would convert it to real HTML and or Javascript. Because of this I found myself wasting a lot of time fixing these articles every time I would make an edit.

Luckily I found an easy fix. I switched from using blockquotes to pre tags with code tags. Not only this but I found a PHP script that cleans the code behind these tags to make things as they should be.

Recently I did a post about website loading. Which had me thinking... Paginiation! Its a lovely device that allows you to not have to display all the content on the same page. There are so many forms of pagination and pagination theories. One of which is a newer method called. "Auto Pagination." It is seen on many sites such as local pages on google and several others.

It basically detects the "windows" scroll and once a certain position on the page has been achieved it loads more content into the page. Some other neat useages of this window scroll is on mashable.com when reading an article if you scroll far enough down it will display the next article on the list. But this is about pagination...

So you have a website and that site gets millions of hits per day. Either you are running a silly static site that you manually update or you have some intense CMS that caches using all sorts of methods.

XML happens to be one of the biggest tools of the trade.

Encoding is simply one of the most strangest topics with websites.

Usuaually I find issues when translating between encoding types such as UTF-8 to ISO or any variation of this. Setting the encoding type of the page is extremely important. "Obviously." Otherwise your browser trys to guess what it is and may fail at it. Along with this hackers can easily change the encoding type and get around your XSS filters. Which will then allow them to do XSS attacks.

Shaunware is ran on its very own content management system (CMS). It uses PHP/PHP5, MySQL, Javascript (Jquery), CSS/CSS3, HTML/HTML5 and more.

Here is a small list of features:

• Unlimited number of sites to hook into.
• Targeting content / tagging content to pages/tags.
• Unlimited varations of content types. Ex: Articles, Banners, and more...
• Records impressions and clicks on specific content types.
• Email Campaigns - Send HTML emails to a list of registered members.
• User/Member Handling - Allows extensive registration details for membership base sites.
• Read more...

Filtering inputs is often a huge issue when figuring out which method is best. Typicallly its a matter of what exactly are your needs. Asking these few questions can resolve the problem.

1. Is the input needing more than letters a-z and 0-9?
2. Does the input need to be able to allow some tags but not others?
3. Can you filter everything out and not worry about what it returns?
4. Can you convert html characters to their entities so it still displays properly?

Finally I have recreated my website. It is using a content system I created from the ground up. I will be writing more on this system in the future. A small list of features this system can do:

• Manage Multiple Sites in one.
• Member Registration
• Banners
• Page Control / SEO
• And so much more...
