I’m trying to make my site faster, but I noticed that Facebook widgets slows down download, should i remove them? I think that it’s usefull for users see how many people likes a page, don’t you?
The firebug firefox extension allows you to edit in real time your CSS code. Instead of having to make a change, reload, make a change, reload you can just edit it live to see the results.
Use Facebook fixer (A Greasemonkey script) to translate facebook status to english, watch bigger version of photo without clicking on the photo, you just need to hover over a photo. It will change the way you use facebook. Facebook Fixer is a userscript that allows you to customize Facebook. It can be downloaded from the download page on userscripts.org.
If you are using Mozilla Firefox with the Greasemonkey extension installed, just click on this installation link and then click Install when the popup appears.
If you do not have Greasemonkey installed, or if you are using Safari or Opera, click here for installation instructions.
Facebook fixer provides the following features (click on the feature for a description):
Most features are enabled by default, but can be enabled/disabled independently.
Yes, split Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome down the middle in one tab. For the multi-tasking type this will enable you to create 2 side by side “panels” in Firefox/Chrome in the same tab so you can browse two sites at once side by side.
Why not switch between tabs?
A few reasons, maybe you want to compare search results on both Google and Yahoo or do side by side comparisons of products or checking templates/themes look. Maybe you want to reference something in the left panel and type about it in the right and switching tabs is a pain.. Well this will enable you to do just that. See examples:
A comparison search for Chrome on Google and Yahoo
Click for larger view
Reference content in one panel, write about it in the other
Click for larger view
To use simply drag and drop the following in your bookmarks…
When clicked, a pop-up box asks for the first URL which will be the left panel and the URL you are currently on will be entered by default however this can be changed so in my dual search i entered Google.com for this one. Once you ok it, it will ask for the second URL which is the right panel and i entered Yahoo.com for my search comparison.
Simple, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox split down the middle with a double panel all in one tab.
Internet Explorer 7 that comes with Windows Vista automatically defaults to using MSN as the search provider. Many users will want to use an alternative search engine such as Google or Yahoo.
You can easily change providers by loading IE7 and clicking on the small arrow to the right of the search box, then clicking “Find More Providers“:
This will load a list of other large search engines, from which you can choose to make the default option (simply click on your choice):
This will bring up a dialog box asking you to confirm your selection. Tick the “Make this my default search provider” box and then click Replace Provider. This will make the search engine you have selected the default search engine for any queries performed in the IE7 search box.
Clearing your search history has never been easier when using IE7 in Windows Vista. Simply load up Internet Explorer and then click on the Tools menu, then select “Delete Browsing History“:
Then, click the buttons next to the items you wish to remove from your PC (you can delete all by clicking the button at the bottom of the window). Most people would want to remove the History and Form Data (which keeps a record of what you type in to forms). To do this, click Delete History and Delete Forms:
Adds toolbar button and context menus for invoking the DOM Inspector (DOMi) for either chrome or content elements.
A very useful add-on, adds a menu and a toolbar with various web developer tools.
Look at this example. When you hover over the box, the border, background color, and foreground colors change. This is caused by JavaScript dynamically changing the box’s CSS properties much like it does the “visibility:” property in pop up menus. This opens a whole new world of dynamic styling opportunities as most CSS properties can be accessed.
The generic form of the JavaScript reference to change a CSS property is:
document.getElementById("div_id").style.CSS_property_to_change = "new_CSS_value_in_quotes";
JavaScript does not always use the same term to refer to a property as CSS does. This is the biggest thing to keep in mind as you refer to CSS properties in JavaScript. Now lets start coding the example.
