HIP TIPS

Usability Tip:
RESET Button and Forms

No online form would be complete without a SUBMIT button. But what about that other button: the CLEAR or RESET button that erases the user's input? Does it help the user? Generally, the answer is no. Often a RESET button does more harm than good.

HTML Tip:
Renewed Importance Of META Tags

META tags are back — at least with some search engines. Depending on your site design and technology, good META tags may be one route to improved search engine rank.

CSS Tip:
You Are Here

One easy way to make your navigation menu more user-friendly is to disable the current page in the menu. We'll show you how to accomplish this using basic HTML and CSS: no JavaScript or PHP coding required!
