Imagine a example.com with some example.com/es, example.com/fr with content related to each country. One solution is a javascript-based country detector that could ask the visitor to change the current site to the most appropriate one regarding to the visitors origin.

This article will help you gain free access to pay-for-use wireless hotspots such as in the airport or the local coffee shops.

Mucho se ha hablado ya de los “media queries” en CSS para ir adaptando el estilo de la página web según el tamaño del navegador.

Acabas de terminarla. Tienes una flamante nueva web. La pruebas en Firefox, bien. La pruebas en Safari, bien. La pruebas en Opera, bien. La pruebas en Internet Explorer, bien incluso. La pruebas en Chrome, mal… A ver, estás usando Open Sans, una fuente de Google, ¡y su navegador no lo renderiza bien! Es de cachondeo, […]

Como a mí, a muchos de los que vivimos en un país con una moneda diferente a la de la patria madre nos ocurre que, al tener todos los gastos apuntados en una hoja de cálculo, queremos contrastar con “nuestra” moneda para hacernos una mejor idea de cuánto ganamos, cuánto gastamos y cuánto ahorramos.

Como ya sabemos, el color se puede […]

JavaScript (JS) is a dynamic computer programming language. It is most commonly used as part of web browsers, whose implementations allow client-side scripts to interact with the user, control the browser, communicate asynchronously, and alter the document content that is displayed.

Here I will explain a basic configuration of a ‘.htaccess‘. This file is a directory-level configuration file supported by several web servers, that allows for decentralized management of web server configuration. It’s more secure to edit the ‘.htaccess‘ than que ‘http.conf‘. With this file you can configure a lot of things in Apache, but the […]

There are situations in wich we want to edit separately the content of a website instead to edit all in one file. <?php include ‘FILE.inc’; ?> For me it’s more comfortable edit the files in parts. We can make a file like this: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <?php include ‘head.inc’; ?> </head> <body> <?php include ‘body.inc’; ?> […]

Usually we visit some pages in which the year in the footer isn’t the current year. This recurrent problem can be easily solved replacing the current-year-place with this PHP code: <?php echo date(“Y”); ?> Simple as milk.
