HTML Cleaner – (not only) Word to clean HTML

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/10

A great on-line way to cleanup html (from for instance style information) before publishing it on your blog: HTML Cleaner – Word to clean HTML.

One of the things is does is Remove inline styles.

Ideal for copy-pasting a quote from a web-site to your HTML editor.

Pastebin, but for HTML? – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/05/26

Nice question (thanks aplm!), as for instance Gist does not render html:

Pastebin is a useful online tool to paste snippets of text. Pastie is a similar tool. Also, Ideone is similar except that it also runs the source code, as well as being a general pastebin.

Is there a similar tool, for HTML?

And ditto links in the answer (thanks meder!):

Unbelievable that such questions get closed as “not constructive”.

Note I could not get http://www.pastekit.com to work.

Redirect to another web-site using a frame/frameset

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/30

Every once in a while, you have a domain but the hosting is at another party that does not allow setting the “Host header” for name based virtual hosting.

So then you want to redirect the page to the hosting party, preferably with keeping the URL in the address bar.
Some how, when searching how to do this (I do it once every couple of years), I always miss the WikiPedia entry at the bottom of this post.

Basically, there are a couple of ways for this:

  1. frameset
  2. head meta refresh
  3. JavaScript window.location.href (which is different from top.location.href)

Only the first one keeps the current URL in the address bar of the browser. The other ones will show the new target url in the address bar.

Notes:

  • in HTML5, the noframes part is not allowed any more.
  • the meta refresh has no extra quotes around the URL, the quotes are around the full text of “0; url=http://TARGET.URL/PATH”

Examples:

EU Cookie Regulations vs. Google+ plugins (via: Gerwin Sturem; Google Drive)

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/31

Interesting article by Gerwin Sturm on EU Cookie Regulations vs. Google+ plugins.

It’s not just that the directive causes this nagging because “of course we can’t remember that users haven’t given us consent for storing cookies, because that would require storing a cookie, so the consent banner will always appear until the user has actually given consent.”

Some other valuable tips are in this article as well. Now go read it (:

HTML Best Practice: Get your HEAD in order (via: Eric Law; IEInternals on MSDN Blogs)

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/08

Even though 3 years old, this is still relevant. Thanks Ilya Grigorik for pointing me at it.

Make sure your HTML HEAD tag has the elements in the below order:

  • any charset must come first (UTF-8 works best) though even better is to specify this in your http header,
  • any any x-ua-compatible comes second.

Why? Read Best Practice: Get your HEAD in order – IEInternals – Site Home – MSDN Blogs.

So the document element starts like this: Read the rest of this entry »

Generating complex math visualizations in SVG using C# and ILNumerics – Scott Hanselman

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/12/15

Funny how Generating complex math visualizations in SVG using C# and ILNumerics and MathViz (no, not this MathViz!) look so similar.

I hope the MathViz code becomes public one day.
