CSS and Borders / Web Links / Java - WebReference Update
WebReference Update: May 23, 2005
On WebReference.com, we begin with an excellent article on how to add fluid borders to your Web pages using only CSS. This works with most browsers and screen resolutions. Next, we have a review that I wrote on a powerful program called Web Link Validator. This is a major program; no lightweight here.
In Other Voices, find out how to make your photos look old, read the next installment in the SQL Server 2005 integration services series, and find out how to get the most out of the XmlTextReader Class.
In Net News, RSS feeds continue to grow for advertisers, Ask Jeeves spreads out in Europe, and Java has a birthday.

2. FEATURE: Review: Web Link Validator
Broken links can become a major headache for Web developers, especially if a site is rich with links. Since it's not feasible to physically check each link by hand, it makes sense to use a software program that will automate the process. One such program is Web Link Validator.
