Snap…Snap Shots

Author: Heather

Stumbled upon this site when I was surfin for some ie fixes. Thought this was a cute feature and wanted to share my new find. Nice little rollover feature.

What it does:
Snap Shots Engage reads your website, looks for key phrases, and then adds the right Snap Shots to them. No links, you just write and when the relevancy is guaranteed, the shot appears!

Not 100% beautiful…but I’m sure there has to be a way to fancy it up. All in all, the content you can get with this is fab and it seems so easy!

The Dojo Tool Kit

Author: Mike

“Dojo is an open-source JavaScript toolkit for building great web applications. It shortens the time between idea and implementation by providing a well conceived API and set of tools for assisting and fixing the issues experienced in everyday web development. It is lightning fast, extremely robust, and supplies a solid set of tools for DOM manipulation, Animations, Ajax, Event and keyboard normalization, Internationalization (i18n) and Accessibility (a11y). The Base of Dojo is a single, lightweight entity (26KB “across the wire”). Dojo is completely free, liberally licensed (AFL or BSD), and transparently developed by an active group of developers with a strong community presence.”

From some of the demos I’ve seen, this looks pretty slick. Also the brains behind the brilliant Ted Website. Definitely worth playing around with.

swfObject 2.0

Author: Mike

So I guess THIS has been out for a while now. Slightly different than the previous version, but not too much. A few syntax tweaks such as passing the flashVars, parameters, and attributes as objects to name a few.

Some of the updates include:

  1. Express Install functionality has changed. You no longer need to add any Actionscript to your fla or otherwise modify your project?s files. The new syntax and functionality is outlined on the SWFObject page in the Using Express Install section.
  2. Fixed a bug that was causing IE6 to crash intermittently if users had a certain version of Flash Player 6 installed and the page was refreshed a few times
  3. Added support for IE Mobile devices that have Flash Player installed (more details here)
  4. Added support for style tags on the object/embed tags outputted from SWFObject. This allows it to be used with swfIR without having to include the SWFObject code multiple times.

Documentation found HERE.
