KulerOne the hardest tasks, at least I find, is picking a good color scheme for a website. There are a number of good color pickers out there, but they all generally work off of a set formula. A good example of them is ColorMixers.com.

Adobe came out with a great innovation when it comes to this task. It’s a new flash based color picker that emulates some of the features in the new CS3 suite and allows for social interaction.

It’s located at kuler.adobe.com

Javascript and CSS11 Jan 2006 01:21 am

Great piece of javascript mixed with CSS enlarges a thumbnail in response to a click. It greys out the rest of the screen and shows the whole image. Hardly any programming required too!

I have in the past wanted to have the cursor look like it was hovering over a link when it was not in fact over an link. As you know, when the cursor is over a link it shows up as a hand. Well, what if you want them to click something that isn’t a link - how do you communicate that it is clickable.

The answer is cursor:hand for Internet Explorer (IE) and cursor:pointer for Mozilla and Netscape (NS).

Here’s the cross browser CSS:

p.pointerhand {
cursor: pointer;
cursor: hand;
}
