Over the years, I’ve had more than one client tell me that I have terrific job security. Why? Because something always breaks. And, even for a client who is pretty handy with their website, the need for someone to go in and troubleshoot will continue to be there.
There is certainly some truth to that logic. Hardly a day goes by where I don’t get a message regarding something that either doesn’t work at all or should work in a different way. Oh, and then there are those “little” requests that turn into a Pandora’s box full of trouble.
To put it simply: These days, nothing is simple.
A Complex Web
In recent years, it sure seems like the types of issues I deal with have become more difficult. This makes sense, as websites are ever more complex than they used to be.
Back when my specialty was building static HTML sites from scratch, there were only so many things that could go wrong. Maybe a link pointed to the wrong place or an HTML element wasn’t properly closed. Those were the good old days.
As soon as CSS, JavaScript and PHP became a part of my everyday existence, the party was over. Code can get complicated in a hurry. In addition, sites are dependent on so many things: APIs, libraries, frameworks, plugins, themes, etc. Each one of these items is another link in a chain that is fraught with peril. Something can go berserk at any time.
That makes diagnosing a problem even more difficult. For example, if your WordPress site has an issue, the steps for troubleshooting go something like this:
Switch to a default theme;
Deactivate all of your plugins;
One by one, re-activate each plugin and test for the issue;
Oh yeah, you better remember to do this all on a staging site;
Even on small websites, this is a very time-consuming process. And, even if you do happen to figure out the culprit, you then have another problem on your hands: What do you do with the offending theme or plugin?
I don’t know how many times I’ve found myself having to work as an intermediary between the authors of various themes and plugins. Once in a while, I’m fortunate enough to find a quick resolution. But so often, I’m stuck in a situation where I either have to tell my client that we can’t use a particular piece of software anymore or we just have to live with the issue. Not cool.
The Odds of Improvement Are Slim
This grumpy designer doesn’t have a crystal ball that can see into the future. But my feeling is that websites aren’t going to revert to a simpler existence anytime soon.
Every day, it seems like another can’t-miss piece of code comes out that we want to implement into our projects. Sometimes it’s functionality, sometimes it’s vanity. Regardless, it adds another link to that chain.
The one possible exception here may be in static site generators such as GatsbyJS – at least on the front end. Linking it up with a WordPress back end still has some potential for time-consuming issues that need debugged.
That being said, the bottom line is that we are asking our websites to do more than ever before. As long as that trend continues, it stands to reason that web designers are going to spend more and more time in troubleshooting mode.
Adjusting to the New Reality
So, maybe we’ll just have to accept that this expanded complexity is another inconvenient truth of web design. The question is: What can we do about it?
I think the answer is in how we build and manage our workflow. For instance, charging more for certain features because we know they’ll require a lot of extra effort to make them work. Then, it may also be a matter of building time for these tasks into our daily schedule.
And maybe that last one is the most difficult part of all. Jumping into this rabbit hole of debugging code takes time away from the things I feel I should be doing. If I’m endlessly trying to fix something, there are naturally other projects I’m not able to work on in that moment.
Then there is the spontaneity of it. I’m not expecting to spend a large portion of my day on a problem that arises out of nowhere. Hence, all plans turn to dust at that point.
However, this is where experience can help. Because it seems like such a roadblock is inevitable, perhaps it’s worth building some extra padding into project deadlines. This provides some space to breathe and tackle whatever issues that rear their ugly heads.
A Blessing and a Curse
When you look back at the history of web design, it’s pretty amazing to think about how the technology portion of things has changed. What used to take a team of highly-skilled developers are now just a few clicks away. Just about everything is within our reach. But with that power can come a whole lot of problems.
That means more time spent pouring over mountains of code or going back and forth with tech support. It’s just the price we have to pay for the ability to create highly-functional websites.
No, this doesn’t mean I like troubleshooting any more than I did before. But I also realize that it is becoming a larger portion of my daily grind. And all any of us can do is try to make the best of it.

TUESDAY, Oct. 1, 2019 (HealthDay News) — Massive vitamin C infusions could be a life-saver for patients with sepsis, an inflammatory condition run amok, new research suggests.
Sepsis is a leading cause of death in U.S. hospitals, claiming as many as 300,000 lives a year, according to the U.S. National Institute of General Medical Sciences.
“It’s literally an explosion of the body’s immune defense,” said the study’s lead author, Dr. Alpha Fowler III, a professor of medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University, in Richmond. “Sepsis is the body’s response to a severe invading infection of bacteria or viruses or fungi.” Blood pressure plunges and widespread organ failure follows.
Fowler’s team found that four days of infusions with vitamin C reduced a patient’s risk of death within a month of treatment from 46% to 30%.
For the study, the investigators tracked 167 patients treated for sepsis at one of seven intensive care units between 2014 and 2017. All had been placed on a mechanical ventilator due to acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Half were randomly assigned to receive vitamin C infusions every six hours for four days. The others received standard care, which typically involves large amounts of intravenous fluids and drugs, including antibiotics.
After four days, the team saw no difference in risk of organ failure. Nineteen standard-care patients died during that time period, compared to four treated with vitamin C. And while nine vitamin C patients left the ICU during treatment, only one of the others had, the researchers said.
Over several weeks, patients who received vitamin C had spent significantly less time in the hospital. A 30-day follow-up found vitamin C patients averaged nearly 11 ICU-free days versus about 8 ICU-free days for those receiving standard care. Over 60 days, the vitamin C patients also had spent about a week less in the hospital overall than the standard-care group.
“Most importantly, we showed that we could improve survival,” Fowler said.
But what explains vitamin C’s power?
Fowler said it’s important to distinguish between widely used supplements and the treatment under review.
Continued
“When you take vitamin C orally you cannot develop any kind of a meaningful blood level of vitamin C — not even in massive doses,” he said. Given intravenously, “we can reach blood levels that are 3,000 times higher. And at that point it’s no longer just a vitamin. It becomes a very potent anti-inflammatory agent. And that is what’s saving lives.”
Ultimately, he said, it could be “a total game-changer.”
The findings were published in the Oct. 1 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
That level of enthusiasm is not shared by Dr. Emily Brant, co-author of an editorial that accompanied the study. She’s an attending physician at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
“Though they did demonstrate a mortality benefit among patients who received vitamin C, these results must be interpreted with caution,” she said. “They did not see any difference in markers of organ injury or inflammation between groups, something we’d expect to see if the mortality benefit is real.”
She said the results are interesting and should be tested in further studies. But, she added, they are “not dramatic, nor game-changing. More work is necessary before vitamin C infusions are considered the standard of care.”
Fowler and his team said that they hope to launch a new trial with 300 patients across 65 hospitals by next year.

The venerable HTML table may (thankfully) be long-dead in terms of its use for page layout. But it’s still going strong with regards to its original intention: displaying tabular data. They’re still incredibly useful and have been enhanced further by the likes of CSS and jQuery.
Still, large tables aren’t always a great experience on mobile screens. If not handled properly, columns can be cut off and thus unreadable. It just makes for a poor UX.
Thankfully there are techniques we can use to make tables more user-friendly on mobile devices. Let’s explore a few approaches we can take to ensure that data is accessible on every screen. We’ll also provide a working example so you can see it in action.

Here’s a super easy way to give mobile users access to a very wide table. Adding a container element with the overflow-x property set to auto will allow for horizontal scrolling on small screens. Not necessarily the most elegant way to do things, but at least the content is accessible. Special thanks to W3 Schools for the concept.
Collapsible Cells with Repositioned Table Headers
This method is a little bit more user-friendly than scrolling, albeit more difficult to set up. On mobile screens, each td cell is displayed as a block, thus stacking them on top of each other. Then, using some trickery with the data-th attribute and the :before CSS selector, tables headers are essentially moved from the top row over to the left.
Below is a slightly different take on this option. Rather than using the data-th attribute, table header items are defined via the CSS content property. While the effect is essentially the same, the requirements for maintaining code are different. This solution is probably better for smaller sites that don’t contain many tables.
Static Left Table Headers with Horizontal Scrolling
Here we see a table header (thead) that is setup to float:left via CSS and remain statically positioned on small screens. Rows of data are converted into columns, making for a nicely-organized table. A bit of JavaScript is used to keep the table headers the same height and alignment as the other cells.
Element Queries
Element queries focus on the sizing requirements of specific elements rather than on just the dimensions of a browser window. They’re experimental at this point, but you can read more about them at EQCSS (which also offers a JS library to utilize). In the following table example, the td cells are arranged in various column layouts. The whole thing is based on the width of table elements. This is definitely an interesting technique worth keeping an eye on.
Data Tables jQuery Plugin
The Data Tables jQuery plugin adds all kinds of useful functionality to standard HTML tables. And its responsive abilities are quite amazing. The script will automatically hide columns based upon screen size. The hidden data is available for viewing with a click (or touch). You also have the flexibility to give priority to specific columns. The example below shows a responsive table in all its glory.
Choosing the Best Technique
The techniques above are really just a small sampling of what developers are doing with responsive tables. They range from extremely simple all the way to complicated, script-dependent concoctions.
When it comes to picking the right solution for your project, it really comes down to a few factors:
Consider the size of the tables you’ll create and what type of data they’ll contain.
Determine what dependencies you are comfortable with.
Think about the potential for automating the whole process.
If you’re building a relatively small website that will only contain a table or two, then future maintenance might not be a big concern. But with larger sites, you’ll want to think of ways to keep everything running smoothly as new tables are added and existing ones are changed.
For example, using a method that pulls information from a data attribute can be really effective – but also potentially difficult to maintain. This is especially so if a non-designer will be responsible for adding content. In that case, it would be worthwhile to try and automate the process of creating data attributes through PHP or other code. That way, the person responsible for content doesn’t have to worry about dealing with code.
Tables present a unique challenge for designers. They were imagined long before the mobile web came into existence. But with a little creativity, you can build a great user experience – even on the smallest of screens.
Garcinia Cambogia is a small fruit that resembles a pumpkin and is found in India and various other parts of Asia. It has gained immense popularity as a weight loss supplement. Together with helping to lose weight, supplements that contain Garcinia Cambogia also has various other benefits to offer.
