Sidebar / Explorer Bar queries Sep 15. 040
I’m working on a project at work at the moment where I’m considering using a browser Sidebar (Firefox) / Explorer Bar (IE) in place of a JavaScript pop-up.
I can’t really say a great deal about the actual application, but I have a few queries which someone out there might be able to answer. I’ve had very little joy with google. :(
- Is it possible to open a Sidebar using JavaScript? Or does the action of opening a sidebar have to be initiated by the user via the ‘View > Explorer Bar’ or ‘View > Sidebar’ menu?
- Is it possible to use JavaScript to adjust the width of a Sidebar in IE or Firefox?
Well, if you have any answers I’d be most happy to hear them. TIA! :)

New RSS feeds at Macromedia Jun 28. 040
Macromedia have made the very sensible decision to set up a bunch of ‘product’ RSS feeds to allow individuals to keep up to date with product related news. You can see the full list here.
Web standards: Who cares anyway? Jun 09. 040
The Web Standards Project is asking you – do you use web standards? And who the heck are you anyway?
In the biggest survey since the WaSP’s inception, they are asking web designers and developers to tell them who they are, what they do and how they are using web standards. The goal being to gather enough data to focus the Project on the key areas affecting web professionals in their everyday work.
RSS feeds by category Jun 04. 040
Following a recent post by Brandon on devnulled.com I’ve decided that it would be beneficial to make category based RSS (and Atom) feeds available for my site.
- Central only
RSS/Atom - Director only
RSS/Atom - Dreamweaver only
RSS/Atom - Fireworks only
RSS/Atom - Flash only
RSS/Atom - Macromedia only
RSS/Atom
This means that if you’re really only interested in the ‘Fireworks’ stuff then you can subscribe just to that category. More categories to come soon… :)
Note: The feed URLs above are no available.
