Awesome image cropper/thumbnail maker script – Modified Marquee Tool

Categories :: Javascript, PHP

As I'm recoding my portfolio right now, I thought to myself – how great would it be to have a thumbnail maker tool. Some PHP or Javascript solution to crop images dynamically without the use of Photoshop. I would hate to fire up Photoshop every time I want to upload something. I'm sure you've all been there before. Anyways I landed upon a script that suited my need exactly. The Rectangle Marquee Tool. The tool looks great but was a bit confusing for me to get working and based on the comment for a few others too. Now I've also done some slight PHP modification to get the script working to my needs and generating the correct thumbnails.

See what I'm mumbling on about right here:

If you operate a user registration script on your website you may want to ensure users are protected. There are certain aspects of this you cannot control such as the user's self selected password. Here I have a script that will detect the user's password strength and base on that you could reject the password or just make notice to the user their password's strength.

Categories :: CSS, HTML, PHP

Sometimes you may be required to have popup windows on your website. They're obtrusive and hard to style with your site, in summary – nasty.

Jump to the next page for the script.

CSS rounded corners with borders

An upgrade has been made to my CSS rounded corners generator, now not only does it use no images, cross browser compliant but now with additional borders option. Add that all up and you have a cross browser, no image, bordered CSS rounded corners generator. Of course that name is too long so we'll just stick with the old one.
