Elegant Classification in Dropdown Boxes
Dropdown boxes are part of any common webpage. When there are more number of values, then it would be harder to read and would be very unfriendly to the user at large.
One of my friend was asking some trick to workaround this issue and I was suggesting him some XmlHttpRequest and other trick to load it in piecemeal fashion. And accidentally, I discovered a nice trick in HTML called OPTGROUP.

Free Digital Certificates
When we test SSL or Cab Files, if we have a digital certificate, then it would be a full-length testing. Check out the following websites that give free certificates:

- http://www.cacert.org/
Just wanted to update. There is a tool called SSLDiagnostics from Microsoft Website. Here is a brief description from MSDN on this tool:
SSL Diagnostics Version 1.0 helps you identify configuration problems in the IIS metabase, certificates, or certificate stores when running Web sites that use SSL. This tool allows you to review SSL configuration information, simulate the SSL handshake to locate errors, or "hot swap" certificates for testing purposes -- http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/f2c980d6-a802-419f-9227-ab46f570c223.mspx
Here is the download URL for SSL Diagnostics:

I hope this would be very useful for developers of web applications whilst testing SSL-enabled applications.
