A while ago I needed a good PHP to Array function or class but I could not find one that would actually work well. All raised a warning or an error or just plain and simple did not work. So I made one that transforms an HTML to Array (also works with XML) that works as good as it can. The URL for Google Code Project is http://code.google.com/p/php-html2array/ (you can download it from there as well).

I started using Ubuntu 9 (Jaunty) about three weeks ago. I am super satisfied. The only problem was I could not get a good program to view PSD files fast (like IrfanView in Windows). I tried xnview but it just wasn’t so good and it was pretty ugly as well.

Now, I found a way to view the psd files in Eye Of Gnome using gdk-pixbuf-psd. Now, above it all I have preview of the psd-s just like I have for images.

It’s great. Enjoy!

Good for AJAX, Flash and many more (what ever you set your mind to use it with).

How it started:
Long ago I had faced a problem. I made ajax based applications (pages loaded dynamically using ajax) and users could not bookmark pages. So I googled and googled and found this. But that is not exactly what I wanted (the age of variable=value is somewhat gone) so I made my own rewrited bookmarker so links would looke like this:

This is a new version. Kind of a BETA. I have improved the last version.

What’s new?

• code put in external JS
• easier to initialize / use
• added horizontal scrollbar support
• added mouse scroll
• added on-click scroll
• added resize scrollbar according to content
• added mouse scroll according to content
• fixed a few minor bugs + improved code performance

You can view an example here or download it from here.

The example has all the properties currently supported. If you have some suggestions / critiques please enter in the comments below

There is a newer version of this here.

Sometimes the design simply needs a custom scrollbar. I really don’t reccomend using one but if you must, you must…

I made one using prototype and scriptuaculous.

You cand download it from here (link updated) or view an example here. It works in all browsers (tested it in IE6, IE7, FF3, Safari, Opera, Chrome).

…because in version 1.6.0 the function which returns the document height (document.viewport.getHeight()) works in IE while in version 1.6.0.3 document.viewport.getHeight() returns only 0;

Should you need some special fonts you have sIFR or Facelift (I recommend Facelift as it produces images, not flash content).

As a JS framework, I recommend jQuery (as it is small and easy to use). Also, if you need something like Lightbox, I recommend using Fancybox (looks better, is smaller and acts better).

For HTML and SEO, I always forget to put some meta tags and stuff, so I made myself a default HTML scheme (which to use for any website): Read more…

I’m sure most of you are aware of the display:inline-block. It behaves as an inline and displays as a block (you can set width and height).

The problem is that firefox 2 does not support inline-block. The fix to this issue would be: display:-moz-inline-box.

To make it work in any browser you need to have both. So: display: inline-block; display:-moz-inline-box; is cross-browser.

In IE6 and IE7, for those that don’t know, margin-left and margin-right are doubled. If you should have this problem here are some bug fixes:

1. The element which has margin-left and margin-right set to let’s say 10px, add display:inline to it (if you can). If you want it to have width and height as well add float:left or float:right to it.

2. If you cannot afford to add display:inline (it would be too much for the style view), just add _margin-left and _margin-right to the css. These are only compiled by IE. (just about anything with and underline in front of it is compiled just by IE)
