BRING DOWN IE6

Very interesting website about bringing down Internet Explorer 6. As far as I am concerned, no one in the world should use IE6 ever again and pretty much all the sites should warn and force users to switch to much better alternatives like Fire Fox, Safari and Chrome web browsers.

Drupal 6 Multistep Form Oddities - $form_state empty

Interesting link about drupal multi-step forms loading twice problem.

I created a form using drupal's form api or FAPI. The form would load twice on the first submission. The first time the $form_state['storage'] goes empty and the second time is populated. I wanted to use $form_state to store some values and do some checks.

Zebra css style

When using "VIEWS" you can insert this into your node.tpl.php. This will allow you to create Zebra style lists of teasers and/or full nodes.

<div class="<?php $zebra ?>">

register_globals is enabled

Sometimes on some hosts you will get an error or warning after installing Drupal that says "register_globals is enabled". You can correct this by creating a php.ini file in your drupal root directory and then inserting the following line of code:

register_globals = Off

I have come across this issue many times now. It started to appear in Drupal 5.x . The reason is not completely clear to me but some say that it has something to do with the tac_lite module. It seems that when you enable this module and then you disable it, it won't properly restore the node_access table in the database. It won't create the default node_access row. To fix it, just run the following query:
