In PHP, you have $_GET and $_POST. In Joomla 1.5 framework, that is easy and quite similar with ASP.Net.

Code

JRequest, then you can access GET and POST.

I have a friend who has the problems for reading Chinese in Vista. Firstly, I think he tried to run an application written in Chinese Encode (Big5), not Unicode. Vista should support Unicode.Anyway,I have no problems to run any applications written in BIG5 at all. I am using Vista Ultimate and I remembered I have installed a chinese language pack.But he is using Vista Home Basic. We spent around half hour to look for the option or menu to install the chinse language I have. But we have not any successful outcomes. So, I believe that is not available for Home Basic.

Finally, I found out how to change the homepage title at Joolma 1.5. I can't change my homepage title,"Welcome to the front page" for months. That is because I am busy and lazy. But that is very easy.
1. go to Menu Manager.
2. Edit the "Home" Menu Option.
3. Then there is an option under "Paremeters - System" for page title

I found another free altenative of Resharper, TytanNet. It is not bad, that is very little weight option. It got refactoring function. I like it has some shortcut to insert special data, such as class and interface.

I am not a SEO(Search engine optimization) expert. But there are some tips to share.

• Give Alt tag(or title tag) to all images
• Every page has a title
• No Broken links or images
• Enable perm on your web application.
