netWindows.org -- a DOM DHTML API for web interfacesAt it's core, netWindows is a DHTML framework for component and code reuse. One of neater uses of this framework is to provide a way to create and use DHTML "widgets". Widgets need not be "windows" or "menus", but can include almost any part of a design that calls for reuse, abstraction, or data representation. Using these widgets, netWindows can function as a display layer for web applications, letting them act more like applications and less like web pages.

netWindows is also a DHTML library in the traditional sense. It provides an API for DHTML coders that takes care of the details of movement support, event dispatching, dependency satisfaction, DOM node referencing, and content loading. The framework is Object Oriented in design and easily extensible. The framework is designed to be modular, so individual pages need not load every widget definition, saving bandwidth.

PHPBuilder.com - Date manipulation in PHP I was sitting writing a kind of helpdesk call management program in PHP and found that I needed to work out how much time had elapsed since somebody had last bothered to contact the client about their problem. In the past, when I used to use ASP, the solution was simple - ASP has a command called DateDiff which takes two dates and can tell you how many seconds has passed between them, how many days, months and so on. After scouring the PHP manual for a while I decided that PHP has no such beast. I then wondered how many other people there were out there like me, and thus this tutorial.
Ok, so what are we going to cover?

PHP Manual / List of Reserved Words / Predefined Variables Predefined Variables
posted by J Slave 1/16/2003

PHP Manual / List of Reserved Words / Predefined Variables $_SERVER is an array containing information such as headers, paths, and script locations. The entries in this array are created by the webserver. There is no guarantee that every webserver will provide any of these; servers may omit some, or provide others not listed here. That said, a large number of these variables are accounted for in the CGI 1.1 specification, so you should be able to expect those.

JDC Tech Tips: January 24, 2000 USING HPROF TO TUNE PERFORMANCE
How fast is the JavaTM platform? For many applications, the answer is "fast enough"--if you make careful choices in your design and make good use of the language. But while design documents and coding standards might encourage efficient code, the only way to know for sure is by profiling, that is, obtaining method timing and other information pertinent to performance. Fortunately, the tools that you need to do profiling are part of the JavaTM 2 SDK. This tip will get you started with HPROF, the Java Profiler Agent, and present an example where a simple code snippet is improved to run 100 times faster.

Laurie McCanna's Tips - Create a Transparent Gif in Adobe Photoshop
Follow the link for older versions of Photoshop. Newer versions use below!
How to make a transparent GIF in Adobe Photoshop
You do this by
1. using the buried menu item: Help/Export Transparent image
2. select the appropriate radio button. Most likely this is the third choice where you need to select the colors to become transparent.
3. When you select this, you will be prompted to go back and select the colors you want transparent with the magic wand tool.
4. Select those colors and return to hrlp/export transparent image
5. Now selectr the radio button indicating you have selected the area to be transparent.
6. The next question is whether the image is for print or online. We’ll chose online.
7. Select an image format. PNG is better, but only GIF will work with older browsers.
8. We chose GIF, so we need to reduce our image to 8 bit color depth
9. In our sample, there are 217 colors and we will choose to use an exact palette but force colors to web safe.
10. Next we save the image under a new name since the original is still open. We will also always prefer interlaced when making images for the web.
11. Your image is now ready to be used online!
