For example you have a database of growing number of members on your website and you want to send a notification after you published some page on the website. Imagine you have 10,000+ members and that you are composing different message for each of them based on their account information and then sending an email with notification message.

.NET229 titles Integrate TFS in Windows Explorer in Tortoise SVN style

CSS Media Queries instead of JavaScript code
JavaScript31 titlesUsing CSS Media Queries instead of JavaScript or JQuery code
0
Before CSS3 coming out, if you needed to change the layout programatically when window size is changed you would have to write a small JavaScript or JQuery to handle window resize event and perform some action on the DOM to addapt your layout.
