Responsive design with "View full site" option
Well the easiest way to accomplish it would just be to have your media queries inside a separate CSS file. When they click on the 'View full site' button then it simply uses JS to remove the link to that stylesheet from the DOM.

Web Dev Research Assignment
I think it'd make an interesting research project to see how many developers truly strive to make the websites they build accessible. I've been designing websites for a good few years now and always claimed they were accessible, but I rec…

Corporate Website Critique
Hey goalieman, Maybe give some of the text and images room to breathe by adding some padding. Maybe try a different font for the headers too, Arial just seems a bit too bland. Other than that it seems OK, it's a very "safe" design,…

Learning code: remembering and applying
Yeah I'm the same. I think it's the same for any language though, the more you use it the more it sticks. I'd been learning jQuery from books for a while and then I started a very jQuery-intensive project at work and through doing t…

Multi-column menu where all level 3-list elements start at the same place - Tricky?
Can't you just use absolute positioning on that child ul? If you don't set the position property of the parent li and set position: relative on the '.level2back' block, then the sub menus will position themselves relative to tha…
