I was recently asked to write some HTML for a e-mail newsletter and I was forced to recall what it was like to design layout using tables (bleh!). Of course there are still some designers out there who argue that using tables for layout is just fine and that harking on about divs and the semantic web is overreacting. Admittedly, it's very quick and easy to come up the desired structure using a GUI like Dreamweaver, but it's just not good practice.

Here's a really quick tip for jazzing up your bullet points in unordered lists. Make use of the ability to assign images as your list-style.

I'm going to walk through a little JQuery script that automatically generates a table of contents at the top of the page. This is useful when you have content arranged under several sub-headers (a typical Wikipedia page is a good example) and want to have quick links to each section.
