05 Abr 07 dhtmlxGrid, new JavaScript Grid Control
I have recently discovered that Scand , a Belarus based company, launched a couple of months ago the version 1.2 of its JavaScript grid control dhtmlxGrid aiming to create feature rich DHTML Tables with Real-Time Performance. Enriched by new powerful features, this version allows easy creation of dynamical tables with draggable columns, multiline headers/footers, per-cell formatting, etc.
The software is AJAX-powered and in the new version it introduces a number of features which extend existing user experience capabilities and provides developers with more control over the grid which is something developers were demanding.
Version 1.2 allows easy reordering of grid columns either through an API script or using drag-n-drop functionality. Besides that, now columns can be inserted/removed with JavaScript on the fly. Also, there is the ability to place complex HTML objects (controls) inside header/footer cells (e.g for filtering functionality or sum total).
dhtmlxGrid 1.2 is available in two editions: Standard and Professional. If you want to try it for free, the Standard edition is licensed under GNU General Public License (GPL) and can be downloaded from dhtmlxGrid Homepage . Enjoy!
28 Mar 07 FlickrCash, search for images on Flickr
I was talking a few days agoabout the new search box for Picassa web. Today, thanks to What’s New I have discovered a very good and powerful search application for photos inside Flickr. It is called FlickrCash and at a first glance it looks pretty interesting. The search is done using a semi-transparent box and the results appear in a mosaic-like page where every image is pointing directly to its source url. It can be really useful for all of us looking for some nice pics in Flickr, the Yahoo service that has millions of photos many of them with an incredible quality and public for everyone to use!.
20 Feb 07 Picassa Web, looking for images online
It has taken a while, but finally locating images at Picassa web it is now possible :-). If you are a fan of Yahoo’s Flickr service to search photos online from other people, but were using Google’s Picassa to store yours, now you can make public yours and search pics from others that have made public theirs. Confusing? Not, really easy! :-).
Picassa web is now providing its accounts with 1Gb of capacity ( I always wonder where Google stores so much information for all their services) and the only thing you need is a Google account, give the necessary sharing rights to your photos and voila!.
To find pics you just need to enter the keywords you want in the search box and the system will reply with the photos that has been able to find from other users. You can also download and leave comments on the photos, so it is becoming a serious competitor for Flickr, although it is not still as popular. But it is a Google service, so just give it time, what else can we said?
