Cool Multi Purpose Progress Bars
In my development I’ve created these cool Progress Bars with different applications, actually I created them ages ago. I’ve recently needed to expand on their original design, and while I’m restructuring them I thought I’d also share them.
They come in the form of PHP5 Classes (EDIT: PHP4 versions also included) and for the moment they are static. The output is well formed though so you could manipulate them usng your own Javascript style. The example page within the zip has a few examples for you to run with. The classes themselves are well documented with functionality not always seen in the examples.

Must Have Firefox Extensions
Posted in Gadgets on July 16th, 2007
Over a developers time, you aquire a taste for the right tools. Some are more useful than others, and some you just can’t live without. Here are my minimum requirements for a suitable Firefox browser capable of developing and debugging todays websites:
- ColorZilla – The very handy color selector tool that sits in the statusbar.
- Download Statusbar – Downloading just isn’t the same without this gem.
- Firebug – If you don’t know what this is you are really missing out. Not just for Javascript developers, this tool can manipulate the dom allowing you to hack websites, if that’s your thing…
- HTML Validator – This validator is handy for getting your HTML up to spec.
- IE View Lite – Ever wanted to view a page in IE but couldn’t be bothered copying and pasting te URL?
- MeasureIt – A cool measuring tool for the browser.
- Web Developer – Also an essential tool, with many features for programmers.
