Hello Web Designers!
Look at what I found: http://swfupload.org/
It’s a free Flash based uploader that allow – like Gmail (and other application such as the TinyMCE Image Manager) – to upload multiple files at once, and show the upload progression of each file!
Here’s a live demo, try to upload some files!
Besides, we can also personalize the “Upload Files” button, which allows us to integrate this useful tool to many CMS systems and other web applications we build!
Hello everyone!
For those of you who don’t know, Internet Explorer 8.0 RC1 (Release Candidate – almost a final version) is now available and can be downloaded here(be careful to not install it on your working machine but on a virtual one 
).
This is good news for all web designers and developers because IE8 is announced to be (for the very first time) a standard-oriented browser!
But (there is always a but) in case it won’t be as “standard-oriented” as Firefox is, Microsoft implemented two modes to render web pages: a “standard” mode and a “IE7″ mode. By default, all pages will be rendered with the “standard” renderer, but if you want you can add a specific META tag that will tell the browser to render your pages with the “IE7 renderer”! That way you won’t have to make any additional changes to your design code.
Here’s the META tag:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7"/>
You can find more information here (take a look at the developers section).
Enjoy! (or not )
