This week I spent a while looking at captcha scripts with the purpose of finding the ultimate one that will both be secure and user-friendly. I am regularly called upon by him indoors, who could be described as a ‘typical user’, to explain why forms won’t submit for him. To me, the process is straight-forward, but to the ‘typical user’ it’s not always obvious and I have had to save both the online transaction and the actual computer from the wrath of his anger.

I hear a lot of talk on Twitter and the bloggosphere about rendering issues in IE6 * and in my experience the most common one is the double margin problem.

Anyone using Dreamweaver CS3 to create Spry horizonal menus will discover that they don’t display correctly in Internet Explorer.  There is a simple fix for this. In the CSS file add a width to the submenu style – around line 42:

ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
{
width: 250px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;
z-index: [...]
