Hey I've been looking for this for quite some time now, I know that must be a good Javascript Mootools based free to use (also Commercial use) dropdown menu out there
I just could not find, unlike jQuery that is beyond easy to find a "plugin" that can be ported for Joomla without many problems when it comes to Mootools based plugins compatible with Joomla's code without any core change (or override) it's quite hard
What I want to know is: Is there a good superfish like menu that works on Joomla 1.5?
Keeping in mind that Joomla 1.5 uses an old version of Mootools
You could always use MooMenu -
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/structure-a-navigation/menu-systems/drop-a-tab-menus/9135
However, you should know that Joomla implemented a plugin to allow the use of Mootools 1.2.4. Just make sure you are on the latest version of Joomla and turn on the Mootools Upgrade plugin.

How to disable aui.css for custom pages in Liferay 7. Is it possible to do this somehow via portal-notmal.ftl
aui.css is coming in through the unstyled theme, which typically is the basis for every theme there is. That being said, you can override it and remove it this way. It's refined in the styled theme, and also in the classic theme (in the same github repo, you'll find it).
If you do so, note that you'll still have to deal with a lot of formatting on your own - the classes and other DOM elements will be generated, but it looks like aui now includes the Lexicon CSS that you'll have to simulate if you get rid of it. Why you'd want to do so, instead of accepting the defaults and overriding what you don't like, is beyond me.
Edit, answering to your comment:
You'd simply create your own theme (Linking to 7.1 here, see below) with any overrides that you'd like to have. There's not a single file with an option, as this configuration file would be too complex and unmanageable.
Also, you sound like you've just started building your site - my recommendation would be to always go with the latest release and use 7.1 (at this time) and note that 7.2 is around the corner, Beta 3 has just been released
I installed and used a UML plugin found here: UML Plugin for Netbeans 7.0?
Afterword, all of my .java code associated with the UML became black and white and un-editable. Although, I can write extra text it cannot be deleted. Running my project results in "Cannot execute - java executable not found".
I deleted the UML files associated with my projects and the code hasn't returned to normal.
Thanks.
Here is a picture:
This actually occurred to all java files.
Unlike Eclipse, different versions of NetBeans are so different that plugins made for younger versions (6) DO NOT work on later versions (8) by default. You can upgrade only subversions steps (digits after dot) without changing plugins. So you have used two pieces of SW that need not be compatible at all. You used a workaround to make to work the installation. And you can get absolutely any consequences, don't be surprised.
The history of the problem: there is no free UML plugin supporting NetBeans NOW. There was one, of Visual Paradigm, for versions to 6. But it's later variants are not free anymore and they are differently organized. If you want to use the modern version of the plugin, prepare to pay. It is very probable, that the free plugin doesn't work on NetBeans 8 by purpose.
You can try a new different plugin http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/49069/plantuml#v2590 of another author. It seems more simple, but at least it won't destroy your IDE. And now you have to save the project, reinstall NetBEans and import the project again.
I have the jquery menu module installed, enabled and set to work on the primary links in the configuration. I put
<?php echo $primary_links; ?>
into my page.tpl.php file but it does not show the jquery menu functionality. I have also tried putting the primary links into a region using the blocks but that does not work either.. i have been googling this for hours and not found any documentation or examples anywhere but i know this is a well used drupal module. What am i doing wrong? i am having a blank.
which jquery menu module are you trying to use? There are many ways to create dynamic flyout menus using jquery and drupal, and a number of drupal modules that don't use jquery.
I've found that nice menus works well for a number of situation, and is usually very easy to implement, requiring little or no coding.
We have a non-profit web site that got about 5 million hits in May. Of those, about 5,700 were from IE 5.x or lower; about 4,000 were from folks with Netscape 4.x or lower. We know that the current site's layout works for newer browsers and we're testing it on IE6 as well (along with Chrome, Opera, Safari, and Firefox). How do you handle the folks with the older browsers? Because of jQuery libraries and such, the pages might not function correctly on those old browsers.
Is there an easy way to show a text-only version on browsers that can't handle the CSS and jQuery goodies? How do large sites handle this sort of thing? I've used the #embed to hide the stylesheet from Netscape 4.x, but not sure beyond that.
You should not keep the old browsers as your main priority - just keep the content readable on them, and maybe add a helpful banner that explains they are using an outdated browser.
However, you don't have to focus on getting the layout look 100% same on browsers that old, that's just waste of time. As long as the content is available and they can navigate the site, it should be fine.
Make sure that all content is accessible and readable from a browser like Lynx, and no content requires Javascript to read & access.
I would suggest designing for disability accessibility and seeing if that would produce those results as well - kill two birds with one arrow.
If you use tableless / css based design techniques then you can easily fall back to text only.
You could use conditional comments to only include css files in certain version of internet explorer.
You could use jquery version checking to only execute it on the versions you want to.
Something else I just thought is that you could show a message to older browsers like I have seen around the web urging the user to upgrade for compatibility and most importantly SECURITY. (I think twitter is doing this now).
And another thought - if you are going back to browsers that old you are probably going to have to worry about screen size as most sites as designed to fit 1024 x 768 minimum these days but at once point 800x600 was the entry level...
Here is what Big G has to say about it :)

They are going to stop supporting IE6...
I'm in a bit of a pickle at work. My department designs a number of internal systems for the company, mostly data-reporting related. We have less than 10 true content pages that actually need to be maintained by a human. These pages were written in PHP and maintained through Dreamweaver by a non-technical staff members - they used the design editor, and avoided the code as much as possible. There were issues, but overall it worked well.
Recently this project was updated and converted to a ASP.NET Web Application. This resulted in some architecture changes, making the content harder to edit with a WYSIWIG editor (it's now revision controlled, it's compiled and thus must be re-deployed after modifications are made, etc.). We sort of assumed that the staff member who had been maintaining it would just continue to do so, now using Visual Studio's "Design" mode instead of Dreamweaver's. We were mistaken, and it isn't an option for technical and non-technical reasons.
The staff member will not be touching any HTML - we need a WYSIWIG editor (this is a requirement we were handed...no arguing with them over that). I started looking at CMS', mainly Drupal, but after a bit of playing around I see that content 'Blocks' don't really have a WYSIWIG editor, instead expecting HTML. Is this true for all CMS'? Is there some easy-to-setup CMS out there that comes with a WYSIWIG editor? Does anyone have any other ideas? Don't care what language it's in, I'll make something work.
This really isn't my area of expertise - I do application development primarily, with an occasional web front-end. Not sure I'm even asking the right question, but hoping someone can help.
WordPress makes use of TinyMCE, and it works pretty well for some NON techie clients of mine. You can write (PHP) scripts that will call the WP functions and pull the page content.
Back to the point, I have found the backend of WordPress to be usable and friendly to a good mix of people. We often use it for a backend and build something completely custom for the frontend, and have had good results.

They let you add easy WYSIWYG capability to any website, regardless of the technology used.
You just add a tag once in your source file, and let your users go to CushyCMS.com to add text content.
I am by no means a CMS expert, but I believe SiteCore might suit your needs. It is a .NET system, built on top of ASP.NET, and from my limited experience with it, the UI for business users is very usable.
Take a look on Joomla. It includes WYSIWYG editor. It is much simpler than Drupal
As Frank points out, TinyMCE is a great option, in fact you use it here :D. Have a look at some examples: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/examples/full.php
The good point is that TinyMCE is just javascript, so in theory you can add it to any CMS, or in fact to any HTML form.
Also, I think is the default input method for Joomla if you are interested.
I would recommend CKEditor (the successor to the FCKEditor), I haven't used FCKEditor in ASP .NET code, but have used it in PHP with a lot of success. I haven't gotten around to converting old code to CKEditor, but plan to in the future.
If this is something where you can load HTML files from your server that has FTP access...a quick and dirty solution I have used is CushyCMS.com, you supply ftp credentials and hook up the files and they are good to go. Non-technical customers of mine have liked the editor a lot. It allows you to specifically say what you want edited and what you don't.
In PHP the way I usually architect using CushyCMS is to have the main page do a require_once on the content page and the content page has the HTML block that I want them to be able to edit.
so the code looks like this:
<?php
//...other code
require_once("page_content.php");
//...other code
?>
where page_content.php looks something like this:
<div id="whatever" class="cushycms">
editable text here
</div>
Hope this helps.
I used to think that for user friendly editing, you need a WYSIWYG editor, such as the TinyMCE that has already mentioned. Not any more.
Editing content in such a rich text editor is not very handy. Very often you end up messing up the content, and either does a technically savvy person have to come to help, or you have to switch to CODE view (= HTML) to clean up the mess.
Now I'd be far more inclined to use something Markdown, like this site (and Reddit) uses. For most purposes, you don't need rich text, and it is just as handy a WYSIWYG tool. If you need a few rich text touches, like making some text bold or italic, this works quite easily too. Lists, either numbered or bulletted, are a snap. And making links... Those WYSIWYG tools always seem to be able to mess it up in ways you can't even imagine.
Plus, this way, the resulting HTML is always clean and minimal, and it's extremely hard for the user to mess up.
What about Expression Web? It is made to edit ASP.NET web pages, and can integrate with TFS
