Welcome Greg.
Seams it will be a nice week here!!
Guys, do you explain in the book a nice solution about how to divide sprite images?

I mean, I use sprites on my site (http://www.nextt.com.br - if you are redirected to nextt.com.br/en remove the /en sufix couse it is not translated yet :p ).
I started using 1 sprite image for all the site, but it got too big (I feared some parts of the site stayed blank becouse the image is downloading).
Then i splited that image on contexts (images of the banners of the home, little (20px or 24px) icons, vertical gradient backgrounds and clients logos).

The clients logo are used only in one page, so makes sense to let them separated from the others.
But 90% of the other images are used on the home page.
Should I keep them splited or should i gather them in one image?

Is there a technique for handling with sprites and taking these decisions?
Welcome Bernerd Allmon and Jeremy Anderson. I think this week will be very productive. I work as front-end engineer and flex is kind of necessary for my job.

Deborah, depending on what you want to serve on your website you not even need to learn Java.

Maybe the "for dummies" series would be a good place to start.

For simple website development, I would recommend you start with PHP.

Maybe this problem wouldn't happen if you use some CSS Reset lib.

Christian, for me sounds like a impossible task, but...

Some of the most borring task is open every browser just to see if the HTML was rendered correctly in every targeted browser (specially when IE is in that set of browsers).

I said it sounds impossible becouse this kind of text should need a human evaluation of the rendering results, or at least a very complicated software for recognition of image patterns.

Have you ever heard about automated tests for checked HTML rendering. A tool that can see if anything was broken on the layout (usually CSS problems).
I know http://browsershots.org/, but it is not automated.

Regards.
In IE8 and IE9, just hit F12. It opens the IE Developer Toolbar.
Not as good as firebug or the webkit inspector, but enough for debug tasks.

IE8 and IE9 have IE7 rendering engines embeded. You can choose how you want to render your page and make all the tests you need.
Hmmm... very interesting.

My last shot is trying this at your servlet:


But if you got null at the data parameter and didn't got the error, I'm not really sure if this will work.
Please let me know how you solved it.
Try using the ajax method for better error details.
In your case, instead of jQuery.post() use:


I can bet the problem is the JSON sintax you are using in your servlet response.
Use quotes on the keys... to return something like:
Nice. Thanks for the answer.

I didn't know JSTestDriver.

I would ask about IDE integration but I'm seing at the JSTestDriver website that it integrates with Eclipse.
I use Aptana, probably will easily integrate there too (I had some problems to integrate some eclipse plugins in Aptana Studio once).

I'll take a deep immersion on JSTestDriver now.
Thanks again!
As I studied JUnit some years ago, I discovered that Unit testing didn't make sense with a coverege report.

For JS, I've found JSCoverage (http://siliconforks.com/jscoverage/).
It's a very nice tool, integrates nicely with qUnit (wich I was planning to use) as we can see in this example: http://siliconforks.com/jscoverage/instrumented-jquery/jscoverage.html?test/index.html

But it is kind of difficult to use.

Do you have any other reccomendation?
