CSS Link – How to customize styles of your links
Today I will tell you about CSS again. But we will talk not about properties today – but about link elements. Link is part of document, linking to other element (text, image, block) in same document or to another object (as example file or other document). As we all know, default color of links is blue (in all browsers). But of course, we can style our links with CSS properties (as example choose another color, font, background, visual text effects, etc) for all states.
For links, HTML using tag <a>, with defined link it will looks like <a href="link_url">link caption</a>.

Overflow CSS – About and How to use it in various conditions
Today I will tell you about CSS again. This is will property called ‘overflow’. This property already in CSS since second version (CSS2). All popular browsers like Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera etc supporting this property. I will tell about IE browsers in details a little after.
Overflow property determines the behavior of a block-type element in situations, where its contents exceeds its size. Overflow property can have five values. Each value defines two aspects of the generated element: whether to display the contents outside of the block itself and are we will have scrolling mechanism. If the value of the overflow property is auto, the browser displays the contents of the element according to its settings, plus – it should allow the user to scroll if the content does not fit in the container.

You can ask me – where I can use it? – Quite anywhere: login or join forms for your website, forms of adding content, different guest books or blocks for comments. Really many ways for using it. I already saw several projects where validation was at server side. And submit of form just reload whole page where we seens – are we made any errors or not. Sometimes webmasters using ajax to send data invisible to server for validation. But in most of cases, this is much faster just to check all entered information at user side (using javascript/jQuery). Just check these several demos – and I will explain how to use it.
