Tweetywall - YUI Plug-In To Put Twitter Live On Your Website
Demo Have you ever seen those sites that have Twitter posts sprinkled all over the place? Would you like to have access to this same functionality without having to do anything?

Lovely Animated Image Captions Using YUI
I saw a very lovely caption effect for images at MotionLab but realised it was written for jQuery. If you have read of my other blogs here on DeVSeO you may notice that I prefer the YUI javascript library by Yahoo for all of my javascript. So, I decided to create this effect using YUI instead of jQuery. Firstly the setup. To make this work you will need an image and some text to describe that image (including a heading for the image). Here's the one I'm going to use for this example:...

Using The YUI Chart Component
The above shows an example of a YUI 2 chart. There are many reason why you might want a chart such as this on your website, such as showing data to users in a more friendly way, publishing commercial content that isnt just in a static table, or even just to add some colour in the form of a funky little widget showing using the latest trends on Twitter. Whatever your reason for having a chart, I have found the YUI 2 charts library a very successful and easy-to-use component that allows you to...

Locate Keywords In Search Engine Results With Greasemonkey
So, I decided (with the help of Lee Johnson) to create a new Greasemonkey script that looked for keywords in search result for the major search engines (Google, Yahoo! and Bing) rather than highlighting a listing based on a domain which my other script does.For this one to work you will need to install the script (for a quick install, clickhere) and edit line 24 and below putting whichever keywords you wish to find in the array and the colour you wish that keyword to be highlighted by, for exam...

Greasemonkey Script to Locate Multiple Domains in Search Results
Greasemonkey is a Firefox Add-on that can be used to install custom scripts that run on specific pages on the internet when the page loads. This can be a very useful tool for many things such as highlighting elements, hiding elements and adding custom functionality to pages that weren't previously available. One useful tool I have seen is written by Mark Stoecker actually highlights listing on a search results page from the big three search engines (Google, Yahoo! and Bing) based on the domai...

Microsoft Stop Support For IE6
In an effort to make a little more sense and to help rectify a very stupid mistake I made today I'm going to re-write this blog, which I managed to completely delete but that I also think is important enough that it needs re-adding due to the news that come to light very recently reagdring Microsoft support IE6 until 2014.And on With The BlogYes, you read that correctly. Microsoft have decided to stop support for IE6 with the release of their new 'Web Office' application incorporating their offi...

Microsoft To Support IE6 Until 2014
In a recent article Microsoft have revealed that they plan to continue support for the years-out-of-date Internet Explorer 6, despite acknowledging that it is riddled with flaws and security issues. The software giant said it would support IE6 until 2014 - four years beyond the original deadline. Critics - some of which have started an online campaign - want the eight-year-old browser mothballed because they claim it slows the online experience. What I love about the statements made...

Star Rating Script With YUI
I really needed a nice little star rating system with YUI for this blog (which can been at the bottom) and after a single search in Google I found Ville Saavuori's Star Rating Script for YUI, which is perfect for the job I needed (so you will see a direct implementation of it used here at the bottom of this blog!). However, for a new project I am undertaking I realised that his implementation was not going to work for multiple rating systems on the same page because it is based on ID's, and a...

IE6Update And Pushup For The Web
Recently I have been conducting a fair bit of research regarding a finite resolution to one of the largest issues faced by web developers and web companies alike. Internet Explorer 6. The biggest question I have asked myself is "How on earth has this browser been around for so long, and why is it still here?".It is now officially the oldest and yet still widely-used browser around, possibly because of the fact that it comes installed as standard on out-of-date Microsoft computers owned by large...

How To Use The Twitter API
How To Use The Twitter APIThere are a few examples on the web about using the Twitter API, but I've noticed that more and more often they refer to using exec() commands in PHP which a lot of web hosts deny to their users automatically. This makes using the API a little tricky as the only other good method for using the service is with cURL.cURL is a PHP library written by Daniel Stenberg, that allows you to connect and communicate to many different types of servers with many different types of p...
