Assuming you just want a simple date field that just do dates, Use datetime its much safer it works as expected on both mysql 4 and 5 with no hassles, I mean it.

I noticed this on my project rentie at first I just show on my date timestamp as is (no formatting), that’s good but once i started formatting it errors came, I noticed this on mysql 4 timestamp is formatted like this 20080507083025 it means May 07, 2008 8:30:25 am, now in mysql 5 it formats like this 2008-05-07 08:30:25, pretty interesting huh!, thats why when i do my date formatting date goes way out, Now date time on mysql 4 and 5 will do this 2008-05-07 08:30:25 so its pretty solid it has the same format on both versions.

Lesson here just use datetime if you just need to display dates.

Finally a pdf viewer for gmail, this is great news and use so I can stop using the adobe bloatware reader no more, actually I stoped using it 2 years ago I am using foxit pdf right now. The advantage of having a pdf viewer in gmail is that you dont need to install pdf viewers anymore espcially the 30 mb adobe bloatware.

SR or six revisions has posted a very informative article on how to cut web development time

I like the no. 10 entry which is to have less features, literally its the way to go start simple and keep it simple all the way

10. Have less features

You have to evaluate the need for certain web application features and if the time-investment of building in the feature is worth it. Do your users really need a custom RSS feeds for categories of an infrequently updated CMS? Do you really need to have a style switcher that detects where the user is geographically?

Make feature incorporation an uphill battle; features that don’t help the end-user in any way not only costs unneeded development time, but also complicates the interface.

To dynamically change the table rows use this smart approach using jquery

Assign your new table data rows to a variable
var msg="<tr><td>Kristine</td><td>18</td><td>peach</td></tr><tr><td>Vanessa</td><td>25</td><td>strawberry</td></tr>";

Delete the exsiting rows except for the header tr:first – represents first row of the table – which happens to be our header
$("table tr:first").siblings().remove();

Then add the new data, the msg javascript variable used here holds the new table rows data
$("table tr:first").after(msg);
