A Quick Word

Welcome to the October 2004 issue of the Interspire newsletter. As you may have guessed, this newsletter's a little late, but I promise that it's late for a good reason: The PHP version of ArticleLive was released last week!

We've already had excellent feedback from both new and existing customers who have already purchased ArticleLive and are using it to run their content-driven web sites. If you haven't purchased ArticleLive yet, then you can do so here. To see some sites that are already using ArticleLive, see this link.

Finally, this month we have uploaded quite a few new web site and logo templates. If you have an idea for a template or logo design, let me know.

Using Inline Javascript Form Validation

"Javascript alert boxes have long been used for validating HTML forms. For example, if you forget to type your name into a contact form, then a Javascript alert pops up telling you about your error and how to correct it. While this is a lot better than no warning message or validation at all, I find alert messages quite annoying, ugly and outdated..."

Building a Mouse-Over Menu Using CSS

"I remember when I started building web sites. Creating dynamic menu's meant creating a series of images: one for the static image, one for the mouse-over image, and at times a separate image for when a click occurred. After this, I piled on the JavaScript to preload the mouse over images and change the images, depending on which menu button had the mouse cursor over it. Phew! It was a lot of work..."

Recent Staff Blogs

As always, we manage to keep our Interspire staff blogs up to date with information on upcoming products, as well as development issues and ideas that we come across during the week. Here are some extracts from our recent posts:

  • Monday Morning Memo - A Great Read (By Eddie) "I subscribe to quite a few newsletters, as Im sure many of you do, one of the few that I really look forward to reading, is WizardAcademy's Monday Morning Memo's written by Roy H. Williams. An advertising related newsletter, with a great mix of advertising / business tips as well as entertaining phylisophical people stories..."
  • Does My Workload Ever End? (By Mitch) "Quite simply, no, it doesn't. Not many of you will know this, but I'm leading development of ArticleLive 2005 (yes, the PHP version will be released as 2005 and the .NET version will have an updated released as 2005)..."
  • SiteCenter Template Repository (By Joe) "What's a repository? Well, I summoned the google define: feature and found a few humourous outcomes... 1. a facility where things can be deposited for storage or safekeeping. 2. a person to whom a secret is entrusted 3. a burial vault (usually for some famous person) .. what the?!!..."
  • Multi-Database Development (By Chris) "The new application we're working on is going to be a little different than most of the others. As Mitch mentioned before, it's more on the marketing side of things which is different for us. It's coming along in bits and pieces and coming together nicely. We've pretty much got one section done, now we're onto the second section (there are about 4 distinct areas we have to complete)..."
  • ASP vs. ASP.NET (By John) "There's a lot of debate on which is the best web development language/technology and the truth is that there is no simple answer. But I will say that while leading development of both the ASP and ASP.NET version of ActiveKB at the same time I've noticed a HUGE difference. It's taken about 3 or 4 times longer to build the control panel for the ASP version than it did for the ASP.NET version..."

Keep Smiling, and Bye for Now

That marks the end of our newsletter for September. Thanks for reading, and as Tony Barlow (Sale of the Century, Australia) would say "Keep smiling, and bye for now!" - God only knows why I still remember this :)

Until then, I'll catch you in the forums...
