Although Firefox already has a strong selection of tab management helpers like TooManyTabs, which gives you extra rows and memory-preserving options, or Tree Style Tab, which shifts things to a tree-based vertical menu, Mozilla has rolled up its scaly sleeves and decided to rethink the whole thing. Tab Candy starts off much like Safari's TabExposé, by showing you all the tabs you currently have open in thumbnail form, but from there it allows you to organize them into separate groups (with sub-groups promised for the future), which then act in very much the same way as opening a new Firefox window. Yes, it's folders within the browser, and it's all based on good old fashioned HTML, CSS and JavaScript, so no pesky additional downloads will be required once this Alpha-stage code gets added to Firefox's official release. If you want to give it an early spin, hit the source link below, but don't neglect the video after the break to see what else Mozilla is thinking of cooking up with Tab Candy.Continue reading Firefox Tab Candy groups your tabs, but that's just for starters (video)Firefox Tab Candy groups your tabs, but that's just for starters (video) originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 26 Jul 2010 04:14:00 EDT.

Has the Nokia N8 made a Symbian^3 believer out of you? If so, you'll be glad to know the beta tag has been peeled off the web application development tools for the platform, which -- according to Executive Director Lee Williams -- provide "an ideal entry point" for coders of all skill levels. This is because the primary languages spoken are HTML, CSS and JavaScript, familiar to almost anyone who's tried to create for the web, and with just a little extra JavaScript exercise, you're promised access to the phone's contacts, camera, accelerometer, and location. It sounds all kinds of refreshing, but the usefulness of this tool set and the entire environment will be determined by what people produce with it -- and to that end we've provided you with a link to the downloads page (Windows, Mac and Linux users are all being served) where you can get your Symbian dev career started in earnest.Continue reading Symbian^3 web app development tools come out of beta, aim for standardized simplicitySymbian^3 web app development tools come out of beta, aim for standardized simplicity originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 30 Apr 2010 06:47:00 EST.

So there are a number of tools out there that offer PHP debugging, including one that can be installed as a PEAR module, titled: “PHP_Debug,” which I might add is an outstanding utility. With my employers website, I took on the challenge to build our own. It’s not quite as verbose, but it allows us to restrict content by user rights. Also, it was a learning project for me.

So as I’ve mentioned in many of my other posts, I’ve been using linux for the last couple of years. I’ve found that there are a number of editors available and everybody has their own preference. Ultimately, the best editor depends on what your goals are for the editor. It’s hard to get ahold of the complete package with an open-source solution. Especially, if you want something you can open and use immediately, without much of a tutorial.

I primarily use these editors for PHP, ColdFusion, Ruby on Rails, Javascript, SQL, HTML and CSS.

I have used the following editors, so I’ll cover my experiences with them briefly.

So I’ve found a great script for sorting HTML tables. It’s very easy to install, customize and integrate. the name of the script is tablekit.js. It’s written by millstream and you can find and download the javascript, stylesheet and default gif images from http://www.millstream.com.au/view/code/tablekit.

It’s a simple integration, just follow these instructions:
