I'm teaching a class on web authoring and html. I'm trying to find a
good reading article on accesibility issues. I'm trying to keep the
reading supplements to relatively light reading, so I don't want to
just point my students to the W3C's Web Accessibilty Guidline articles
(a little to heavy reading). Can any of you suggest an online article
out there that will explain why you need to think about accesbility and
some basic ideas on how to achieve it?

This is a good place to start.

1. Check informational images for alternative text
Place the cursor over an informational image, for example, the
organisation logo. Does a yellow box [or another colour, depending on
your computer's set-up - ed] appear with a brief, accurate description
of the image?
</quote>
Need I comment on the cluelessness of that comment? The alt attribute of
an image is not a description of it, nor does it necessarily appear as a
tooltip. The rest of the article isn't as bad, but that first point is
quite dreadful, and bound to mislead the HTML beginner.

Hello,
I've a search engine on my e-commerce website that returns 10 articles per
page. Actually, the customer may make a search, click on any article result
then come back to the list and click on an other article.
I'd like to provide a "next article" and "previous article" button: this
will let the customer browse all articles without the need to come back
everytime for clicking on the article list. Since I use MySQL, how may I

I came across a rather interesting article this morning and thought I'd
share. We all know that Visual Studio is a great IDE, but I think we can
all agree that it is adds a dramatic change to how we write code.
I'm not posting to talk trash or start a flamewar, just wanting feedback
in regards to the following article. I happen to use Visual Studio on a
daily basis and am not a John Rivers alter-ego.

Hello, all!
I am hoping you can help me. I am trying to find an online article
about transferring an image via a web service. It involves encoding on
one end into a byte stream, passing it to the web service and decoding
it on the other end. This was a simple article and I was going to use
it for one-way image transfer transactions rather than a point-to-point
one.
The distinguishing feature about this online article is that the...

If you are interested in submitting content to article directories you
are not alone. But of course, before you can do this you need to learn
the submission process. This is a simple process to pick up on, and as
long as you take your time you will be submitting articles in no time
at all. The good thing is that once you are familiar with the
submission process of article directories you will be able to
seamlessly move through it each time...

I've been searching for a specific article for awhile now. About two
years ago (maybe longer) there was an article in the C/C++ User's
Journal that compared the performances of various stl containers.
Unfortunately, while I remember the topic, I don't remember much else,
so if anyone is inclined to help me find it, they'll have to do some
detective work. I remember it was co-written by two people, one of
which I *think* is Herb Sutter...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
