HTML5 for Web Designer
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010Idea Of Web Design
Monday, July 20th, 2009What is web design?
According to wikipedia : Web design is similar ( in a very simplistic way ) to traditional print publishing ( neither print ad nor design ). For me, it’s not about graphic design - it’s all about usability, accessibility, readability.

PaperVision3D 2.0 Demo
Monday, March 16th, 2009Papervision - an open source project targeting on Flash 3D presentation.
What we had before this project? We still have several ways to show 3D in internet : VRML, Java, Shockwave, and some other uncommon plugins; And most of the time, if you got some experience on that, we were always needed to code something like “matrix” and complex steps. I think it blocked most of us to learn at that time.
Mozilla Bespin
Friday, February 20th, 2009As W3C announced before, XHTML 5 ( HTML 5 ) will be published not later than 2010; that means we can start building websites with new syntax and tags. Although the fact is most of the end users are still using old browsers that only support HTML 4 ( I think we need to wait at least 2 more years for prevalence of “new browsers” )
For those who are interested in HTML 5, let me introduce you a online editor - Mozilla Bespin !
Simple png fix JS
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009I think fixing png problem for ie5.5 / 6 maybe one of the troublesome question when building a beautiful website. Use? Or not using png? I haven’t tried all libraries ( Indeed that’s impossible ), but I can suggest these two for those who are new to this topic.
Flash Tree Comp Bugs
Friday, October 31st, 2008I’ve posted a question of displaying Chinese of tree component months ago ( in Adobe official forum ); And weeks ago I got a mail from a reader there asking about the solution…
There’s bug in displaying Chinese in Flash CS3 tree component, the only reason that cause the display error is the default fonts in tree component is set to Arial, so the solution here is to comment out the following line:
//htmlLabel.embedFonts = true;
I googled and found that it’s quite hard to find out the reason, so I just posted here, hope that help.
