Here’s a sample of a correctly tagged image with height and width tags:

<img src="images/mine.gif" border="0" alt="my image" width=”125″ height=”250″ />

Adding width and height tags to images can make a huge difference when the web browser loads the page. If the browser knows the width and height, it can go right on past the image and let it load in the background while it renders the rest of the page. If an image doesn’t have these tags, the browser has to wait until the image loads before it can go on loading the rest of the page.

Smaller external scripts like javascript and CSS can make a big difference in load times. Try using online services like CSS clean to take your CSS source and strip things like





• white spaces


• line breaks


• remove unnecessary charachters

As a general rule, downloading lots of small scripts takes longer than downloading one large script. If you can combine your javascripts into one large file, you’ll see faster download times. The easiest way to do this (without using programming knowledge) is to physically open your javascript files and copy and paste all of the javascript into one file. However, this isn’t always the easiest option, so here are a few resources that show how you can merge javascript files dynamically.





• PHP


• Smarty (PHP templating language)


• Rails


• ASP

this question often serves as a conversation starter. The information you choose to reveal about yourself gives your interviewer a sense of what kind of person you are, and hence, what kind of employee you'd be.

The best way to answer this question is to stick to business: talk about your past career, things you've accomplished, and what made you decide to apply for this position. Include details about skills you have that directly relate to the job you are applying for.

A good format to use is as follows:

1. Introduce yourself
2. Tell what your current status is (i.e. last job title or student status)
3. Describe what you do at work or school
   
4. Describe one or two things you've accomplished or excel at that directly relate to the position
5. Mention why you decided to apply for this position

Using this format, you can tell your interviewer about your best skills, your recent accomplishments, and why you're applying, in a way that sounds organized and logical.

You can also use this question as a way to match your goals to their needs.

And knowing the company's goals comes from researching the company, which is why research is such an important step.
