Properly Comment your code
My motto: "Code as if the person taking over my position is an insane killer" -- Meaning, if they can't understand what I did, they might come looking for me. ALSO, if you have to revisit a piece of code you wrote long ago, it helps to know what you did, and why. When you create a new function, add a comment block at the top. When you start a new webpage, add a comment block at the top. When you change a line of code somewhere in the page, either add a revision line at the top, referencing the changed code, or use an inline comment where you actually changed the code. For a good example of commenting code, see www.meridiandevelopmentsystems.com/lifetips/03.htm
