I've been writing some scripts to display large directories of images in HTML in an automated fashion and not infrequently the static HTML generated ends up not matching the underlying images on the server.

I notice that about two weeks ago your site changed subtly, Dave. Before, I'd click on "POST" to submit a comment and then wait and wait while it processed. Now it's still as slow (sorry!) but as soon as I click on that POST button it grays out so I can't click on it again. Cool. How do you do that?...

I've noticed that on some of the more slick Web 2.0-style Web sites, you can click on the text description adjacent to a checkbox and have it act as if you'd clicked on the checkbox itself, just as you can with regular Windows dialog box elements. How the heck do they do that?...
