January Mailbag Q & A

By  on  

I've been receiving a ton of emails lately with regard to MooTools, jQuery, CSS, PHP, Script & Style, and my opinions on current web topics. While I enjoy responding to these emails, I think it would serve better to have the questions and answers available on this blog. For this reason, I'd like to do another "mailbag" post.

If you have any questions you'd like to ask me on any web-related topic including MooTools, jQuery, CSS, PHP, AJAX, or any else, please post your question below. If there's enough interest, I'll post my responses within a week or so. Don't forget to read my previous Mailbag Q & A.
