[ - The Toolbox - ] Firefox 3 Released

Firefox 3, Mozilla's browser, is making an appearance to the big screen.

Yep, the big screen.

Your PC Screen as a final. No more betas it seems.

Looks like you can actually help them break something other than their own program. A Guiness record is up for grabs for the Mozilla camp. Can't wait to see what will happen here.

[ - The Toolbox - ] X Ray power

http://westciv.com/xray/

For those into the Firebug plug in for Firefox. This is quite the tool. The view covers the basic elements for styled items on the screen such as position, left, right, width, height. I have been using this for divs only, so I would not be able to belch on anything else. This tool is quite handy.

[ - The Toolbox - ] I'm Lovin' Dreamweaver CS4

http://youtube.com/watch?v=VhwiddtHVxs

Just so you know, Dreamweaver CS4 and Fireworks CS4 Betas are out in the labs. I'll be throwing up a review of Dreamweaver CS4 with some comments. So far, the title says it all for me. Live View and Live Code are my favourite features so far(and the most frequently used by me). Server rendering without switching to the browser view was something I had always wanted in a tool.

Go get it here and see if you can spot some of the bugs on this release. I had one freeze, but I do not remember the cause.

Thanks to Kirupa for the notice.

[ - Coding - ] Functions

Something I do with Functions to help me remember where and what they do. It's probably something you have already thought of.




function Talk($somebody)
{/* Brief description of the function(pages where we implement this feature)
var $somebody - does something
*/
echo $somebody . " asked you to join the forces";
}



I am using the comments to organize it better. It feels cleaner without all that text in functions.
