This is where you can find assorted bits of code that I have written:
- Ratebird - latest extension for Rate Your Music. Songbird only at the moment, I have merged the code from Rate and RYM Enhancer Enhanced into this to create the definitive Mozilla extension for RYM users.Scrollable, Sortable Table - Tutorial: HTML, CSS, JavaScript.Advanced Search - Wordpress widget, enhances the standard blog search box with many options.RYM Enhancer Enhanced - Greasemonkey script for RYM, comes with a variety of enhancements for the site.Rate - RYM Firefox extension, enables searching of highlighted text in RYM from the context menu.
I use Firefox as my main development browser and can recommend the following extensions for development purposes:
Firebug - Firebug is an absolutely indispensable tool that lets you inspect, analyse and tweak virtually any part of a website. So indispensable, I even occasionally use it during regular browsing, and it even has its own extension system with a number of useful add-ons available.
ColorZilla - Extremely handy for getting the colour code of any colour, you can even select colours that are a part of the Firefox chrome!
MeasureIt - Useful for those times when you just need to drag a box between elements to measure how far apart they are.
Web Developer - Although some of its features are duplicated and some even better implemented in Firebug, the Web Developer extension does still have a number of useful tools.
HTML Validator - 'View Source' on steroids. Allows easy validation of your code with two different algorithms, amongst a small pile of cool stuff that you don't get with the regular 'View Source'.
