Alles over Microsoft Expression vs. Dreamweaver | rss feed | toevoegen | e-mail nieuwsalarm | Slashdot | 2006-09-02 23:05:23
An anonymous reader writes "Informit has a quick look at Microsoft's Expression suite consisting of Graphic Designer, Interactive Designer, and Web Designer in comparison to Dreamweaver. It seems that Microsoft got tired of relying on FrontPage and is actually going after professionals. From the article: 'What designers might not realize is that Microsoft finally drank the Kool-Aid. The Expression Web Designer application walks the Web standards walk. One caution: Web Designer currently only supports ASP.NET. Microsoft built the ASP.NET platform; it isn't a surprise that Expression Web Designer was designed to support that platform. This is obviously a drawback for those designers who work with PHP, JSP, and other non-ASP.NET platforms, making it difficult for Microsoft to expand its reach beyond the ASP.NET users.'"

Alles over Stop making Flash scrollbars | rss feed | toevoegen | e-mail nieuwsalarm | Software Headlines :: Index | 2006-07-14 14:39:12
Filed under: Ideas, Tips and Tricks, SamplesHoss Gifford has figured out a way to dynamically resize a Flash movie embedded in an HTML page. The practical application of this is now you can have your movie resize based on how much content there is to display. Being able to scroll with the browsers scroll bar instead of creating a separate flash scrollbar is the chief benefit to this technique. To accomplish this Gifford uses the swfObject by Geoff Stearns. Hoss has kindly made available the source code for this project under a creative commons license in hopes that someone can improve it. Check out the demo to see the resizer in action and download all the necessary files in one convenient zip.Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | CommentsSource: http://www.flashinsider.com/2006/07/14/stop-making-flash-scrollbars/ Russell Heimlich http://www.softwareheadlines.com/modules/planet/view.article.php/15278
