AjaxWrite is a powerful word processor that can read and write Microsoft Word formatted documents. Anytime you need a word processor, need to open a .doc file or edit a .doc file, simply point your Firefox browser at ajaxWrite.com and in seconds a full-featured program will be loaded. For 90 percent of the people in the world, the need to buy Microsoft Word just vanished. This won’t make Microsoft happy, but software users should be very excited that software just got cheaper, immediate and modern.

Recently, code evidently became artistic material and programming artistic practice. The coding artist literally hacks his/her artwork, forms it with skilled hands, touching and communicating with and through it.

Physical electronic interfaces enable the artist to tighten the relation between the artwork and the audience.

Tangible code is a workshop for artists and practitioners who are interested in the concepts of programming and physical computing.

The employed tools are the multi platform and open source programming and hardware environments Processing and Arduino. (more…)

 

NDB encounter server-related problems, sorry for any inconveniences.

 

Searching for a site that would have a list of User Agent IDs, I came across a website with a detailed list of Browser ID Strings (a.k.a. User Agent ID).This can prove useful to a developer who wishes, like they say in their site, to make the fewest checks possible for the browser environment – or how to optimise the display or … to know who and what is crawling around your site.J

I’ve read on different forums questions of people asking how they can make the innerText property work with Firefox. Many have suggested to use the innerHTML property instead, but that would not be useful because, obviously, the HTML tags would be either rendered or displayed (an example of the latter would be if we want such text to be displayed in a textarea or text field) giving undesired effects.

Well, in short, Firefox does not support the innerText property. Instead, it supports the textContent property.

So, you could ’sniff’ what browser the user is using and use the correct property accordingly.
So, you could check for the browser’s feature support to use the correct property accordingly (this is better than sniffing )

Example (updated):

if(document.all){
     document.getElementById('element').innerText = "my text";
} else{
    document.getElementById('element').textContent = "my text";
}

That’s it. Hope it helps

At some point, people ask themselves “How can I have two submit buttons with different actions in one form?� Well, the approach I’ve used to accomplish this task is to ‘emulate’ the submit buttons with regular button controls and changing the form action based on what button was clicked.

In the following example I have a text field and 3 different buttons that will send the string to be searched to Google, MSN or Yahoo depending on what button the user clicks.
