There are all sorts of "replacements", and have been since before the web existed. The problem with talking about a "replacement" for HTML+JS is that the conversation generally starts out of frustration with one or more specific aspects of the current implementations:

What would be the best way to draw a simple animation just before showing a modal JDialog? (i.e. expanding borders from the mouse click point to the dialog location).

What is the best way to lock cache in asp.net? |

I know in certain circumstances, such as long running processes, it is important to lock ASP.NET cache in order to avoid subsequent requests by another user for that resource from executing the long process again instead of hitting the cache.

As lassevk suggests, write out the new file as you go, here is some example code:

fout.write( line.replace('foo', 'bar') )
fin.close()
fout.close() |
You can try to look at the exported functions (through DumpBin or Dependency Walker) and see if the names are mangled. |

Check if the input stream is positioned in the begging.
Otherwise, as implementation: I do not think that you need to write to the result stream while you are reading, unless you process this exact stream in another thread.

CSS layouts are generally much better for accessibility, provided the content comes in a natural order and makes sense without a stylesheet. And it's not just screen readers that struggle with table-based layouts: they also make it much harder for mobile browsers to render a page properly.

One good way to start learning about how IE happens to be mangling the page is to turn on red borders on different elements with CSS (`border: 1px solid red;`). This will immediately tell you whether it's a margin problem or a padding problem, how wide the element *really* is, etc. |
We had a floating div issue that was only evident in a particular version of IE6. It was fixed by downloading the latest service pack. |

how do you define layout bug? the most frustrating layout implementation (i don't know if this should be defined as bug) in IE is we need to always specify *style="display:inline"* in the HTML <form> tag so that a blank line won't appear to disturb the form layout. |

@imphasing - this is exactly the kind of mindset that causes maintenance nightmares.
Why oh why would you ignore declarative referential integrity, where the data can be **guaranteed** to be at least consistent, in favour of so called "software enforcement" which is a weak preventative measure at best. |
The browser *is* scrolling the page, its just that part of it is fixed in position.
This is done by using the "position: fixed" CSS property on the part that you wish not to scroll. |
Use the HashSet class included in .NET 3.5. |
You should also have a look at the [nested diagnostic context][1] feature of log4j. Pushing different contexts to the logger for different callers might do the trick for you.

They've set the side and top elements to have fixed positions via CSS (see line 94 of their style.css file). This holds them in the viewport while the rest scrolls. |
