I just uploaded a new version of the JSGallery script to eSteak which is now compatible with MooTools 1.2. The old version also got a few tweaks and fixes and works in IE7 now (again). Additionally, both versions of the JSGallery_simpleviewer work in Firefox 3 now. Enjoy!
You may now download the new version 1.2 from the official websie. I think it’s a pity that the download now consists of two seperate files, as the compression rate de- and and the loading time increases.
Unfortunately all the other pages are offline at the moment: the demos, docs, forum and blog. The ticket page has been added, but is currently offline as well. Half-cocked snapshot I’d say, especially because the docs are actually there, well…
Let’s hope the problems will be solved during the day and maybe they’ll think about an official offline versionof the docs to prevent such a blackout.
I will definitely work on eSteak to be able to handle scripts for the new version and I will try to integrate the packed download as well when I’m working on it anyway.
I recently created a flash image gallery for my current employer which is used on the Schiesser website. It heavily looks like the Simple Viewer, but was written completely new. As I also wanted to have the same functionality without flash, but with javascript, I took some time and created it. I think the result is worth to take a look. As always, you can download it for free on eSteak.net.
I just added some really nice badges to my blog, but there was none for the mootools. So I created one myself:
You can download it, and add it to your website if you like.
I just uploaded a new script to my mootools testpage. With this script, you can prettify HTML elements with the “overflow” attribute. An example of it has already been online for some time on my website, but now I packed the whole thing into a nice class.
I would like to hear your comments, as usual 
After fighting against Apache and PHP on the webserver for two days (I had to recompile it in the end), my website is now online. I hope it fits its purpose and I appreciate any comments.
I haven’t written anything here for some time now. With a reason! As I already mentioned a few times, I am currently working on a small plattform and because I invested a lot of energy and time in getting it done, the moment is almost there! I think on monday (tomorrow), it’ll be online. I will not reveal the name yet, but describe its functions.
It is all about MooTools, in my opinion THE JavaScript framework. What I don’t like about it is, that you can only find plugins, that some people write for it, in the MooTools forum, because a simple internet search is not that satisfying. The forum again, is quite big and, as the users mostly talk about the linked plugins, also a bit unclear. So it may take some time until you have downloaded the piece of javascript you came for.
The website I developed, is designed to do better. Everyone can, after signing up, upload his own plugins, categorize and tag them. Additionally, you can define dependencies to other packages (also the core).
The users then can (without login) put plugins in the download basket (no shopping cart) and download them later. The website will care for the dependencies, and add them to the download automatically. You can also exclude the core packages if you already have a mootools script.
Of course, users can also rate the plugins and leave a comment. These ratings, the categories and the tags are intended to assist the user to find and download the plugin the want and to make these actions as easy and comfortable as possible.
I hope, this website will help the mootools framework to become even more successful than it is right now. I appreciate any comments, even if the website is not yet online. Of course I will write a new post when the website is finally online and then I will see whether the effort of the last days weeks was worth it. One more thing: it’ll be completely free for everyone, of course!
Ich hatte ja angekündigt, dass ich auch mal was veröffentlichen möchte was ich programmiert habe. Ich hatte gestern glücklicherweise die Zeit das nun mal zu tun. Auf meiner MooTools-Seite werde ich auch in Zukunft noch kleine Klassen veröffentlichen. Über Anregungen und Kommentare freue ich mich immer.
Als erstes gibt es: dynamische Schattengenerierung um DIVs und Bilder
Viel Spaß damit!
Wer gerne JavaScript-Spielereien in seine Webseite einbaut, dem ist vielleicht auch schonmal folgender Fehler im IE6 gekommen:
Url eingeben + Enter => Popup:
Die Seite sowieso (URL) konnte nicht geöffnet werden!
Vorgang abgebrochen.
Ich habe jedenfalls diesen Fehler bekommen und einen interessanten Blog-Eintrag dazu gefunden. Aus den Kommentaren dort wird allerdings schon ersichtlich, dass das noch nicht der Grund gewesen sein kann. Wie einer der Kommentatoren bereits vermutete, liegt es nicht allein am SWFObject, sondern vielmehr an der Kombination mit einem anderen JavaScript – in meinem Fall die Slimbox.
Des Rätsels Lösung ist allerdings, wie im Blog beschrieben, sehr einfach. Es muss nur defer=”defer” in das Script-Tag das SWFObject-Aufrufs geschrieben werden und schon gehts auch im dümmsten Browser der Welt IE6.
