This morning I was working on migrating an old set of Paypal forms to a new site. I needed to create a shipping dropdown menu, something not supported by Paypal’s hosted buttons.

But after looking around for a bit unsuccessfully I found the Button Code Example Site, an amazing treasure trove of code snippets and examples for customizing Paypal cart form elements for Website Payments Standard.

I used (and modified) a few examples for my page – the script for local shipping selection and the one for radio button product selection.  It took a little tweaking because I needed script variations for multiple forms of the same type, but I’ve got it all working fine.

Found JSLint today while trying to figure out a Javascript error in (gasp) IE. Very nice.

This morning I’ve been hunting for a gallery script for my typography client that will include the following features:

  • Thumbnails not in a strip, but in a box
  • Selected image thumbnail has a different background image to highlight it
  • Large image shown when thumbnail is clicked
  • A previous | next navigation feature
  • The ability to add a small order form in the ‘description’
  • Slideshow controls

I had a few in mind but none of them did everything I needed, but I just found Galleriffic. This seems to be perfect; here’s an example of what it can do. If the client likes it, I’ll give it a test run on her site.

I’m working on a largish template set for a typographer client in Texas. Part of the project includes creating two galleries.

The client provided me with .psd files showing the appearance of the galleries, and saved me a lot  of time by actually picking out a script (a script that works) in advance.

The script is MudFade gallery from MudCorp and I was pleasantly surprised to find it very easy to configure. It’s a basic gallery using the Prototype library, and that’s all that’s needed on this site.
