Strange Unicode text is able to broke rendering of the whole web site. I can't put this text directly, because it can damage rendering (see screenshot below).
I will put the code of the attack text. It is array of 125 characters with the following 16-bit integer values:
[3626, 3655, 3655,..., 3655]
I called it The Unicode Attack - a new generation of attacks in Web. If you put this text in comments or somewhere else on a web site, a browser will render a horrible line on the screen.
To solve this problem I can put some characters and texts that can damage a web site in a black list, but I'm afraid that the list will become too large, so I don't know how to prevent this error.
I'm looking for an elegant solution for this problem. I want to be able to prevent such attacks.

I think, that kind of bad-displayed characters is the same thing as, for example, bad words, spam or any other useless text, which should be removed by moderators. Also, probably answers here can help you.

A page example. It looks fine when at full size but cuts off the left side when window is resized, or on a smaller device like an ipad.
I tried putting in some codes I found to add sliders at least, but that didn't seem to do anything.
Caveat: I only know just enough html to be dangerous, I know very little css.

The Application I am using does not jump infront of everything if I click on it, that means I have to minimize every single window for a clear view. How can I change this?
also the application is just working in "pseudo fullscreen" how do I make it go "real" fullscreen? (I assume this could solve the first problem)
please note I am not the programmer but I am trying to solve this for the original programmer so if you could just give me some code that would be really appreciated.
And Squeak can do multiple host windows since 2006 but nobody has actually done anything with the capability since then.
(Sigh. Supposed to be a reply to Travis' comment)
Have a look at this squeak image.
I am not the original programmer but if you click on the logo then it becomes fullscreen and overlaps the other windows.
The source code can be found in the logo. Please post it if you find it!
Also note that Smalltalk has windows inside the window. I just mean the window of the smalltalk environment.

It seems that Indexhibit (www.indexhibit.org) is a sort of standard when it comes to building portfolio websites for artists. I just received a mail from an artist asking me whether I use Indexhibit. Beside the issues of the customer poking their nose into technical stuff, I need to know what's so special about Indexhibit?
I took a look at it and saw nothing more then a somewhat original CMS. I have my own system/libraries that I use to build simple websites and prefer sticking to these, but would like to know first... why does Indexhibit have this place among artists... and why do they say "an Indexhibit site" and not "a website built on Indexhibit"... what's the difference between an Indexhibit website and a plain website? Is there any advantage when using Indexhibit?
That's it, you got it, it's just a blank slate that makes it easy to pump out a small portfolio in a short amount of time. It's the helvetica of portfolio web design. Nothing fancy, but it's classic, the art can breath.
I come from a ASP.NET MVC and Django Background, and I've actually been having a bit of fun about working with Indexhibit. I got over my fear of PHP and there is some thing refreshing about just firing a query off, and building html straight out of it. Would never use it for a really custom job, but for things that fit the model, it gets quite out of your way for getting things done.

There are several ways to secure passwords with an automated encryption algorithm, but sometimes it's best to write it down on paper and keep the paper itself secured. Hackers can't easily get to paper. However, if someone finds that paper, they can see the passwords plainly.
What's a non-automated method of securing information on a piece of paper? For example, have the real password be in every other character (eg p1a2s3s4w5o6r7d8 = password).
Take a character sequence from a book you have lying besides your computer. You can take the sequence in any number of ways: First/second/etc. letter of each word in a chapter you decide, for example.
Have a look here for some history and ideas about steganography ;) Your example is a simple working one, you can even use an invisible ink or write it backwards with only every 5th character relevant etc., it is up to your imagination :)
What youre suggesting is a simple cypher. I'm not sure why you'd want to implement something like that vs. using a password manager like KeyPass but you can us a simple substitution cyper where A=Z, Z=A etc. if you need to write it down.

VBA solutions can vary widely in size.
I would like to add user help documentation to all solutions but the level of effort to create and deploy the help needs to match the size of the solution.
You should check the VBA version of MZ-Tools. It is an add-in for VBA that can automatically generate documentation from your code (function name, parameters, comments, subject, etc.). You can also use it to automatically generate line numbers, onError labels, etc. More on the automatic documenting feature can be found here.
It is free, easy, and very efficient. Once you notice how much you save time by using it, please do like me: donate.
You may wish to consider HTML Help. It allows you to produce help files that are similar to standard Microsoft help. It is not particularly difficult to use, for the most part.
