FAQ of the Week
Question: Any suggestions on buidling a DHTML/Javascript menu for my web site?

Answer:

Don't reinvent the wheel. Use one of the many menu builders on the market.

I use a product called DHTML Menu Builder. He's worked out all the problems and it really didn't seem worth my time since someone else had already worked out all the issues between different browsers and browsers on different OSes. His menus still aren't perfect, but boy, they sure are close.

The software is located at http://software.xfx.net/

Tip of the Week
Tip:

Although Internet Explorer supports putting an "A" link tag around a table "TD" cell, do not do it because other browsers such as FireFox and Safari don't support a link around a cell.

Link of the Week
Benefits of the PNG Image Format

You should be aware of the benefits of using PNG images. This short article is a great overview. Although here at Prestwood we use and recommend using GIFs and JPGS because of compatiblity with older browsers and you can animate GIFs. However, this compatibility issue will likely go away in the coming years and we too may switch to PNG images at that time.

TinyMCE is a platform independent web based Javascript HTML WYSIWYG editor control released as Open Source under LGPL by Moxiecode Systems AB.
