Use JavaScript to Print an Image

   Posted: July 1st, 2010    By: Devin Walker   

Using JavaScript you can have images print when clicked on. What this script will do for you is open whatever image is specified in the JavaScript in a new browser window along with the Print options window.

This method is useful if you are looking for a way to have either a print button for a specific image on a page. Please refer to the demo to see exactly how this can be accomplished. Remember to specify the image’s width and height in the JavaScript onClick event.

   Posted: June 3rd, 2010    By: Devin Walker   

So I recently started using a Mac at work and with the Adobe Creative Suite 5 just released I was pretty excited.

Google Unveils the Google Font Directory and API

   Posted: May 19th, 2010    By: Devin Walker   

Google is looking to help all of us web and graphic designers out there who have been trying to break free of the CSS font-family limitations. How are they doing this? Today Google released the Google Font Directory and Google Font API in attempts to bring a selectable and dynamic font solution to the web. I’m expecting the directory in the future this solution will grow to become the web’s leading robust and scalable font library and API.

The good things about this web font solution is that it is very easy to implement and the text is completely selectable (for copy-and-paste purposes). The downsides (both will eventually become irrelevant) are that not every browser will support it… mostly the old school ones that no one should care about anymore, and that it in it’s current state the Google Font Directory is limited to a about 20+ fonts (of which you’d probably use about 10). As the web continues to evolve both of these ‘downsides’ will no longer be relevant.

Attention: jFlow Plus is Out

This article uses an outdated version of jFlow and, although it works just fine, lacks some enhancements. Please check out jFlow Plus on my other website WordImpressed.com! There you can read about jFlow Plus and view a cool demo.

jQuery sliders make a great website addition. Are you using the jQuery jFlow Slider Plug-in?  Awesome! Out of the box this slider is pretty good.  It’s easy to modify and light weight.  In this article I will show you how to add an auto slide functionality and pause functionality to the jFlow jQuery plug-in.

Why jFlow is a Good Slider

jFlow is a very light-weight slider. If you’ve been using sliders in your web design for some time perhaps you’ve had experiences with a few jQuery sliders that hasn’t been so good. jFlow out-of-the-box is good, but let’s make it great. One of the most requested features for this slider is to have the popular pause and autoslide functions.
