In this post on ArtyPapers.com today, there's information about a new tool that allows the creation of PHP & CSS dynamic text replacement - P+C DTR.    PHP + CSS Dynamic Text Replacement is a JavaScript-free version of the Dynamic Text Replacement method originally created by Stewart Rosenberger.  P+C DTR allows you to take a vanilla standards-based (X)HTML web page and dynamically create images to replace and enhance page headings using only PHP + CSS. Sick of using the same three fonts? Tired of editing heading images in PhotoShop? If so, P+C DTR might be for you.    This is a definite must see if you do a lot of web work with something more creative than simple text. This tool allows you to create some very nice text in a short amount of time. And, because it's based on simple, open standards, its use is simple too...

There are some  great  browsers  out there. But they all seem to have some slight niggles, different for  each, that make it hard for me to kick back and enjoy them.        While there are some projects out there to make browsers more useful for  some specialised purposes  or by bolting on handy  extensions, wouldn't it be great if these people could come up with a  standardised set of nice features like these? A lot of browsers may support  one or two, but I'll bet none have them all.

If you weren't able to make it to this year's just passed php|works conference in Atlanta, you missed out on the keynote that Marco Tabini, founder of php|architect gave at the start of the conference. Fortunately, he's posted the video of it on his blog:   What they didn't tell me, however, is that they had arranged for a simple (but, as you will see, very effective) web-based system that allowed members of the audience to submit "captions" to the screen as I was speaking. The results were, of course, hilarious - mostly because they "forgot" to tell me about the idea until a few days after.   Be sure to check out the video of the video for some great one-liners.

Second place has been revealed in Nick Halstead's programming competition - and the 2nd place mark goes to Evan Chiu.   So second place, more drum rolls.. goes to Evan Chiu. Evan's solution revolved around a well implemented breadth first search which was wrapped up in a neat class. It was also quite well presented and the HTML was all w3c compliant.   In Evan's solution, he opted for a single "solve" method to handle the heart of the transition - an implementation of the "Breadth First Search method. If you'd like to see the full code, you can check it out here.

The Mozilla people have jumped the gun on CSS3 and prematurely put an end to purely rectangular elements with their curved elements and borders. Here's a preview of what to expect in CSS3, and a demonstration of what you can do right now in Gecko browsers. By Peter Belesis. 1007

WebReference.com has a simple new tutorial today showing how to create alternating table rows in the output for your application.   Almost every database driven Web site uses alternating row colors when displaying a list of records, a concept used all over the Internet.  You've seen it used, you like it, and now you want to do it yourself.  But you're not sure how to accomplish it.  Well you've come to the right place.  I'm going to discuss the basic idea behind achieving this and give some concrete examples demonstrating different ways to implement it.   Their script loops through the information (numbers in their case) and checks, using the modulus operator to check and see which of the CSS styles it should apply to the div. To give a range of possibility, they also show how to do it with a while loop instead of a for to do a little benchmarking of the methods.

iWork â08 provides âa solid deal for anyone needing an affordable office suite for the Mac,â according to Elsa Wenzel . She praises the new writing and layout tools in Pages â08, including the contextual Format Bar, Change Tracking, automatic list formatting, and the abundance of page templates. Wenzel points out that âKeynote â08 adds some smart features that PowerPoint lacks. Itâs also a breeze to figure out from the get-go.â And she notes that âNumbers reveals ease-of-use novelties that competitive tools donât provide,â concluding that âthe majority of users who rely upon spreadsheets as one-size-fits-all tools for household and light office work should be pleased to have a new option for Macs.â

We've been hearing about the power of the "semantic web" for years, but few applications highlight the gravity of the concept as clearly as BlueOrganizer, a Firefox add-on from web software maker AdaptiveBlue. Simply put, BlueOrganizer turns your right mouse button into a jumping-off point...

Asymptote (http://asymptote.sourceforge.net) is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. Asymptote provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text.   Problems with loading LaTeX packages and slide presentations were fixed. Non-static variables in every loop iteration are now allocated anew. Formatting under locales with nonperiod decimal separators was fixed, along with logarithmic tick labels near the machine epsilon.  Concatenation of nullpaths was fixed. New path markers were added and the perpendicular symbol in the geometry module was improved. The skeleton routines in the solids module were split to provide finer control.  Routines to facilitate drawing 3d contours were added. Reading portable XDR binary data into arrays works again; functions for reading and writing also in native binary formats were added. The TeX preamble is no longer output in inline mode. The TeX pipe is now aware of a previously generated aux file. Memory leaks were fixed. An inline limit is now imposed on old compilers to speed up compilation. Setlocale warnings are disabled unless debugging is on. A colorspace command for extracting the colorspace of a pen was added. An Asymptote introductory slide presentation was added and a user-written Asymptote tutorial is now cited in the manual.
