Dreamweaver with Javascript framework support

Javascript, Software 1 Comment »

I’m a big Dreamweaver user because of the nice and user-friendly interface, the good intellisense and … (too much reasons to enumerate them all). I was missing only one main functionality that was better Javascript support and javascript intellisense. Since we are in the Web 2.0 age, the usage of Javascript has risen exponentially. Now Dreamweaver supports Javascript (and their own Javascript framework “Spry”) but I was missing intellisense for the famous Javascript frameworks (Prototype, Script.aculo.us, jQuery, mootools, …).

But somebody started to build Dreamweaver extensions that will fix this.
At the website http://xtnd.us/ you can find the current available DW extensions that they already build and / or will build.

For now they have the following available in béta:

Possible planned releases:

  • Mochikit API for Dreamweaver MX-CS3
  • MooTools API for Dreamweaver MX-CS3
  • YUI API for Dreamweaver MX-CS3

Perhaps it’s time that the guys at Adobe start to support this by providing the Javascript framework extesions.

Mac Dock menu in CSS

CSS, Javascript, Web 2.0 No Comments »

Everybody who has ever used a Mac, have certainly liked the Dock menu with the nice Mouse-over effect.

This effect is called fish-eye, and the people at n-design-studio have made an nice looking HTML/CSS version of the Mac Dock menu. They used JQuery as Javascript library. JQuery has the Fish-eye effect build-in.
It really works and looks nice, so perhaps you can use this in a Web Application or website.
