Some time ago I was wondering how was possible that some people had an image associated to their comments while others (like me) don’t.
The answer: gravatar.
In a sentence: gravatar is a web site where you associate an image or photo to your e-mail address. That’s it!

Should I use tables for layout?
After getting almost crazy doing some web designs, I’ve concluded that tables simplify the design and reduce the development time en LOTS of cases.

Convert UTF-8 string into an array of chars in PHP

Reflexive micropost: lack of time

I have several interesting articles to finish, but they require LOTS of time, so I don’t know when I’m going to get them [...]
Where is the cursor in a input or textarea?
I’ve just found a website with an interesting example forwhere is the cursor and which text is selected (if any) in an input and textarea.
The truth is this code is not for daily use, but it’s quite interesting to see the possibilities of javascript (well in fact I was looking for this because I need [...]
