For the last couple of weeks I’ve been working on a contract job with Leighton Contractors, helping them style their new management system before it’s implementation and launch this coming Monday. During this time, I have been working closely with some of the lead developers of the system, and in doing so was introduced to this handy little tool called FireBug. Firebug is an add-on for Firefox 3 that allows you to not only view the core code and styles of a web-page, but temporarily alter them in real-time effectively allowing you to debug on the fly.
Have you ever wondered how to redirect one domain name (your website address) to another website? This quick tutorial will show you how in layman’s terms. You’d be surprised how many people have asked me how to get their old domain name to automatically redirect to their new one, or to have five or so different domains point to the one website.
In my last post I revealed that this site was finally 100% functional in Internet Explorer after many hours of re-coding and re-working the back-end structure. In this post, I’d like to give a shout-out to the tool that helped me achieve this. IES4OSX is an absolute must have for any Mac based web designer. I’d never heard of this tool until a couple of days ago, but am I happy I found it. Basically, it emulates Internet Explorer, versions 5 through 7 as though they were running on a PC, on your Mac.
