We all know that writing “ ” in your HTML makes a blank space, but what about the other hundreds of symbols available, such as ♥, ©, §, ½ and §.
With the styling of raw type with CSS becoming more and more powerful, symbols such as these are becoming a popular and viable design tool.
Well, here’s a nice little resource that lists a lot more than you’ll ever need.
Ever wanted to force a refresh of a particular page? We often get problems with people not knowing the existence of the refresh option in web browsers… with that in mind, we’ve found a little script that allows you to force a page to refresh on page load!
See www.computing.net/answers/webdevel/refresh-a-page-once/196.html for more info!
The code:
<body onLoad="if (location.href.indexOf('reload')==-1) location.replace(location.href+'?reload')">
The version I worked on which uses Lightbox 2 and a Flickr feed:

Lets you have an iframe-esque scrollbar without the accessibility issues:

Also worth a look on the same site:
