		<description><![CDATA[Making interfaces attractive is a priority when creating web applications. When it came to uploading a file, it got pretty ugly. There were no simple or standard ways to modify the Browse button for user. Things have changed quite a bit from a design and development standpoint. FancyUpload is the proof of that change.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://digitarald.de/project/fancyupload/" target="_blank">FancyUpload</a>, simply put, is a <em>the</em> file upload replacement.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Displaying data is a problem. You have to show results of hundreds of values and be interpreted not just on the fly, but have a lasting impression. Displaying the data within a chart or graph is the most effective way to approach the problem. Throw in a simple installation mixed with a beautiful interface and you've got yourself a great charting library named pChart.]]></description>

		<title>OrderedList&#8217;s Prototype and jQuery FancyZoom</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Lightbox can be confusing. Like one commenter said, it makes the user think it's a new page and thus go "back" on their browser. What was needed was an intuitive way to display images and text neatly. With a little inspiration from Cabel Sasser and Apple, and the power of Prototype and jQuery, OrderedList just gave the web a spoonful of Fancy.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://orderedlist.com/articles/fancyzoom-meet-prototype" target="_blank">John Nunemaker&#8217;s</a> (Orderedlist.com) <a href="http://orderedlist.com/articles/fancyzoom-meet-prototype" target="_blank">FancyZoom</a> was inspired by <a href="http://www.cabel.name/2008/02/fancyzoom-10.html">Cabel Sasser’s FancyZoom</a> but completely rewritten to be a functional and attractive lightbox alternative.</p>
<p><a href="http://orderedlist.com/articles/fancyzoom-meet-prototype" target="_blank">Nunemaker&#8217;s FancyZoom</a> is different in four ways. First, it can work with both images and text, not just images as Sasser&#8217;s version is confined to. Second, it is built using Prototype (or <a href="http://orderedlist.com/articles/fancyzoom-meet-jquery" target="_blank">Steve Smith&#8217;s jQuery</a> version) as opposed to Sasser&#8217;s which was built from scratch, thus making Nunemaker&#8217;s weight being only 12k as opposed to Sasser&#8217;s 36k. Granted, as the Nunemaker states, you have the overhead of Prototype on top of the 12k, but if you&#8217;re already using Prototype then you already have the overhead. And lastly, it doesn&#8217;t use Ajax. What this means is that your text and images are loaded when the page loads. The last way is more of a personal design touch than a coding implementation. Its the Apple effect of rounded corners. This creates a padding effect which frames your image or text very nicely.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for the jQuery version of FancyZoom, <a href="http://orderedlist.com/articles/fancyzoom-meet-jquery" target="_blank">Steve Smith</a> (Orderedlist.com) modified Nunemaker&#8217;s to create a  <a href="http://orderedlist.com/articles/fancyzoom-meet-jquery" target="_blank">jQuery version</a>. Be sure to use the jQuery or Prototype version depending on which library you&#8217;re already using.</p>
<p><a href="http://orderedlist.com/articles/fancyzoom-meet-jquery" target="_blank">Smith&#8217;s</a> and <a href="http://orderedlist.com/articles/fancyzoom-meet-prototype" target="_blank">Nunemaker&#8217;s FancyZoom</a> is a great effect that can be used for displaying features, fully-zoomed images, and text, all while maintaining the intuitive design for the user.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Tooltips have become more and more prevalent. They're used to explain fields in a form, explaining certain features, and more. Many tooltips come bloated, hard to install, and even harder to customize. Cast all your fears aside and say hello to Prototip.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.nickstakenburg.com/projects/prototip2/" target="_blank">Prototip</a> allows the designer to create custom tooltip designs and empowers the developer to implement those designs easily&#8230; but for a price. It&#8217;s powered by the Javascript library <a href="http://prototype.org" target="_blank">Prototype</a> (duh).</p>
<p>The demonstrations show a wide array of possibilities. One that can come in very handy is the ability display the tooltip at location X when you hover over the tooltip link at location Y. Other features include the ability to use Ajax in the tooltips, delays, offsets, and beautifully rounded corners. The downside to all this greatness? It comes with a price tag.</p>
<p>In the end, <a href="http://www.nickstakenburg.com/projects/prototip2/" target="_blank">Prototip</a> is a great tooltip to easily add eye-friendly functionality to your website.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Lightbox effect hit the web by storm a few years ago, but its use and functionality is growing each day. From creating photo galleries, to displaying data, viewing video or just opening an external page, Lightbox has changed the way your visitors view your website. ModalBox is in a whole new "box" of its own.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.wildbit.com/labs/modalbox/" target="_blank">ModalBox</a> is, according to its homepage, a JavaScript technique for creating modern (Web 2.0-style) modal dialogs or even wizards (sequences of dialogs) without using conventional popups and page reloads. Basically, it&#8217;s a quick and easy way for displaying forms, images, videos, documents or modal boxes to the user. It&#8217;s built off of Prototype Javascript Framework, script.aculo.us, and XHTML/CSS. If you&#8217;re looking for a Mootools version, <a href="http://forum.mootools.net/topic.php?id=682#post-3047" target="_blank">check this out</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wildbit.com/labs/modalbox/" target="_blank">ModalBox</a>, aside from standard features and the Lightbox effect, has added scrolling ability, offline-mode, and height auto-adjustment.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wildbit.com/labs/modalbox/" target="_blank">ModalBox</a> is a simple, easy to install script, definitely worth your time and worth your visitors improved experience.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Designers would create attractive themes and interfaces, but when content overflowed and scrolling was necessary, those pesky gray scrollbars would appear and clash with the design. With the failure of scrollbar CSS properties, designers were forced to design scroll-less themes. Not anymore.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://greengeckodesign.com/projects/mooscroll.aspx" target="_blank">MooScroll</a> gives the developer to have attractive and functional scrollbar using the <a href="http://mootools.net/" target="_blank">MooTools</a> library. It gives the designer the ability to easily create their own scrollbar and implement them easily into their theme or interface.</p>
<p>Size does not matter when it comes to <a href="http://greengeckodesign.com/projects/mooscroll.aspx" target="_blank">MooScroll</a>. Whether you have barely enough content to scroll, or more than enough, it will work with your content and design to display your desired result.</p>
<p>In conclusion, <a href="http://greengeckodesign.com/projects/mooscroll.aspx" target="_blank">MooScroll</a> is a designers dream.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Web forms have become something of an art to designers, with literally thousands of them creating their own style and improving the forms user interface that much more. However, if creating web forms has been seeming dull lately, it's time to take a look at this. This is one of those simple tools that in the blink of an eye empowers you to do so much more. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://swfupload.org/" target="_blank">SWFUpload</a> is <strong>a lightweight Javascript/Flash library that allows you the simplicity of HTML/CSS with the attractiveness of Flash</strong>. It&#8217;s the best of both worlds.</p>
<p>Forms are probably one of the most common components a developer is forced to reuse or recreate. After all, every website should have a form of some sort, either for the visitor to contact the administrator or vice versa. <a href="http://swfupload.org/" target="_blank">SWFUpload</a> allows the developer and designer to improve the user experience while maintaining the basic form functionality.</p>
<p>A modest list of features from the <a href="http://swfupload.org/" target="_blank">SWFUpload</a> website includes: styling of elements, retrieve file details before uploading, control filesize, no page reloads, and <a href="http://swfupload.org/" target="_blank">even more</a>. Allow the visitor to &#8220;browse&#8221; for a file, hit submit, and watch the status of their file as it gets uploaded.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re going to be creating any forms that require the user to attach a screenshot, zip, word document, or any filetype, I would strongly recommend <a href="http://swfupload.org/" target="_blank">SWFUpload</a> to have greater form control while improving your visitor&#8217;s overall experience.</p>

		<title>NicEdit &#8211; A New Kind Of WYSIWYG Editor</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Let's be honest, you don't need a massive, overly-complicated, feature-drunk WYSIWYG editor to write a blog post or update your "About Me" section. What you do need is a WYSIWYG that won't add massive amounts of code simply hitting the space bar. NicEdit was created to fix all that... and maybe a bit more.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://nicedit.com/" target="_blank">NicEdit</a> is <strong>a simple inline content (WYSIWYG) editor</strong>. Finally! The days of trying to pronounce FCKEditor without having a co-worker, friend or, even worse, a client look at you like you just dropped the &#8220;F&#8221; bomb, are over!</p>
<p>With <a href="http://nicedit.com/" target="_blank">NicEdit</a> you&#8217;ll enjoy all the standard set of features which you demand from their WYSIWYG. Basic functions like <strong>bold</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">underline</span> and <em>italics</em>, unordered lists, as well as paragraph formatting are all included. You can even add pictures, links, change the font-family, you name it. All the major features are there. You can even disable certain features to make sure the user doesn&#8217;t have too much fun with the font-size and colors.</p>
<p>In conclusion, <a href="http://nicedit.com/" target="_blank">NicEdit</a> would be a great addition to a simple web application you may be working on. Not to mention, it only takes two (count &#8216;em, 2) lines of javascript to enable this editor for any textarea on the page.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Contact forms are a great way to hide your email address from those pesky crawlers while giving your visitor an easy way to contact you.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not only has Eric supplied the application, he posted an impression explanation on how the entire application works and how to create your own, from start to finish, at NETTUTS.com.
