That's quite a bold claim. What evidence do you have to back that up?
Most systems are built on a normalized database, and use joins between related tables without any problems. If anything, it tends to speed up your queries - it's quicker to compare equality with a surrogate integer key that a string.
Your best bet is probably to profile your queries, to see if there are any missing indexes which might improve the performance.

I currently have a 2010 web form application that generates html code when the application has finished executing. My requirement is that I make a second copy of the same html so a new letter can be generated. The only difference from letter #1 to letter #2 is the mailing address of the letters will be different. The rest of the letter will be exactly the same.
My problem is when I actually have a copy of the letter, I have it completely. I do not have a copy of what the original address is. Thus when I am going to replace the address for the second letter, I need a way to be able to tell where the address of the first letter is located at.
Thus my questions are:
1. Thus I am thinking I can place some invisible characters around the first address that the user will not see. This way I will be able to replace the address in the second copy of the letter with the second address I want to embed. Thus are there invisible html characters that I can embed around address 1 in the first letter so that I can place a new address in the second copy of the letter? If so can you tell me what those invisible characters are that I can use?
2. If there are no invisible characters that I can use, are there other html tags that I can use to place around the original address that the user will not see? Thus when I am working with the second copy of the letter, I can do the search and replace for these other html tags and place the second address in the second letter> Thus can you tell me what the other characters are?
3. If my ideas listed above do not work, do you have any other suggestions that I can Use? If so, would you tell me how to accomplish my goal using your suggestion?

Not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but you could always surround the text you want to manipulate in <span class="stuffToChange"> ... </span> tags. That won't affect the rendering (assuming you don't have stuffToChange in your CSS). I wouldn't recommend using "invisible" characters.

I like your idea of using the span tags. Could I use any other html tags and if so what other html tags could I use?
Could you tell me why using an invisible html characters are not a good idea?

There might be other html tags that you could coerce, but <span> is the natural one for the job. Google "html span" to see why.
Using invisible characters has a couple of problems:
1. What if the "invisible" character (e.g. ) could appear legitimately in the document?
2. The intention of your invisible characters is not clear to anyone looking at your code*, whereas using <span> makes it obvious what you are trying to do.

First off, explain what is happening and what you expect to happen, instead of just saying "it doesn't work."
Secondly, you have overflow hidden on your ul which is hiding your items.
Since you did not explain what you want to have happen, I'm not sure what else to tell you.

<img id="arrow" style="float: right; padding-top: 5px;" src="source/arrow.gif" /></a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Daily report by branch</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Monthly report</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Logout</a></li>
</ul>
CSS
ul.menu > li {
position: relative;

width: 15%;
list-style-type: none;
float: left;
}
ul.menu ul{
display: none;
position: relative;
list-style-type: none;
z-index: 10;
}
ul.menu > li:hover ul {

var selector = '.menu li a';
$(selector).on('click', function () {
$(selector).removeClass('active');
$(this).addClass('active');
});
});

I basically want to know about making a site which doesn't look messy, and for that, i don't want to divide it in some predefined portion.
i don't want to use table while making the index page.
give some hint for another way to do it.

Use divs.

Regardless of which approach you use, anything can look messy.
Perhaps you should design it out on paper first or google for free web templates to get some ideas for what you want to do.

If you don't want to use a table, then don't use a table. There are plenty of better ways to lay out your page.
Since it sounds like you're new to web design, you might want to start out with a framework. It's not quite as flexible as rolling your own styles, but it will probably get you up and running faster.
For example:

The most accurate answer we can give is "all of them." But it will depend on what you end up doing. If you never need to access a db, then you won't need that. But we have no idea what code you will be or won't be doing.

When I request a .aspx page that is not on our site, I get redirected to a custom error page which is the designed behavior. When I request a pdf that is not on our site, however, I get a generic 404 error. My web.config has the following:
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="default.aspx">
<error statusCode="403" redirect="dcg/PageNotFound.aspx" />
<error statusCode="404" redirect="dcg/PageNotFound.aspx" />
</customErrors>
On top of this, when I do get redirected to "dcg/PageNotFound.aspx" page, the browser is appending the page to itself over and over like it's in a continual error loop. I don't understand why this is happening. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the continual loop problem. It was an Ajax call. I still do not know why I get the generic 404 when a pdf is requested.
|
|
|
|
|
Problem solved. After reading a number of articles, I saw mention of how a global.asax page can be used to handle errors. Now, when a pdf is requested and it's not on our site, the 404 is handled correctly.

Sorry experts if this is cheap question.
I have been struggling to get a handle on responsive web design and have been scouring the web for useful information.
Even though there is a lot of stuff out there, I keep running into the following:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen and (max-device-width: 320px)" href="style320.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen and (max-device-width: 544px)" href="style544.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen and (max-device-width: 768px)" href="style768.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen and (max-device-width: 992px)" href="style992.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen and (max-device-width: 1200px)" href="style1200.css" />
My question is, where do I find the css files for instance style320.css, style544.css, etc?
I am essentially trying to convert the following html into responsive login page but nothing I have tried so far seems to be worked when I view the page on iphone.
<form id="FormToValidate" method="POST" action="verify_login.php">
<table width="560px" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><img id="Img2" src="images/welcome.gif" alt="" runat="server" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<span style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">INSTRUCTIONS:</span> To log into the screen, you will need to sign in with your .....</span>.
</td></tr><tr><td> </td></tr>
<td>
<span style="background-color:Yellow;"> eg: *****</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%"><img id="Img1" src="images/line.gif" alt="" runat="server" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td nowrap>
<div class="input text">
<label>User Name:</label>
<input maxlength="40" class="required" name="user" id="user" size="20" placeholder="Enter username!" type="text" title="Please enter a username." tabindex="2" value="" style="width:400px;color:#000;font-size:10pt;height:20px;" />
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td nowrap>
<div class="input text">
<label>Password:</label>
<input maxlength="40" class="required" name="pass" id="pass" size="20" placeholder="Enter password!" type="password" tabindex="3" title="Please enter a password." value="" style="width:400px;color:#000;font-size:10pt;height:20px;" />
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>
<div class="buttonSubmit">
<input type="submit" id="btnValidate" style="width:80px; margin-left:-152px;" value="Log in >>" />
</div><br clear="all"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
Thanks a lot in advance

Since there's no path specified in the href attribute, you find them in the same folder as your HTML / PHP file. If they don't exist, then you need to create them.
This example appears to be using a desktop-first approach, meaning that the styles in styleX.css only apply to screens up to Xpx wide. You would also need to have a base stylesheet with no media query, which would provide the base styles, and the styling for screens larger than your maximum breakpoint (1200px).
The alternative is to use a mobile-first approach; your base styles provide the styling for mobile devices, and you then use media queries with min-width / min-device-width to override the styling for larger screens.
You don't have to use separate stylesheet files; you can do it all in one:
@media screen and (max-device-width: 320px) {
}
@media screen and (max-device-width: 544px) {
}
...
NB: You'll struggle to make that form responsive as-is. You've used <table>s for layout, and you have fixed widths in inline styles. You've also used a negative margin to shift the button. You'll need to change the markup before you start trying to apply a responsive design to it.
Google has plenty of examples of creating a responsive login form, which would probably be a better place to start.

So...is this a statement or a question?
Is WP short for WordPress, or some other acronym, or did you forget an F, or...?
