Flash dynamic page titles December 15th, 2009
Here’s something I knocked up for a client to keep intranet page titles in the corporate font. It’s a simple bit of Flash and AS3 embedded with some javascript. The Flash file has the relevant font embedded in a dynamic text field and the javascript passes colour and size and the word or sentence as Flashvars to render. Below is an example in Christmasy red Helvetica Neue.
The script also incorporates the AC_OETags javascript from the Adobe Flash player detection kit to replace the SWF with the specified text rendered as normal HTML if flash is not present on the users system. Download the source files and have a play.
Javascript form validation December 14th, 2009
Quite an old one this, but I don’t want to lose momentum so i’m posting it for want of anything else. This is a good old fashioned form validation script. It’s faily customisable and uses alerts to indicate missing information. It also focuses on and highlights the relevant field. The zip file contains the javascript and a sample HTML form so you can see it in place. Enjoy.

Two posts in one day! It won’t last, rest assured but since it’s my first day here’s a one page website I put live this morning for Longbarns Farmhouse Bed & Breakfast in Essex. So for all your Bed and Breakfasting needs, presuming they’re in the vicinity of Essex, give them a shout.
Christmas Javascript snow December 11th, 2009
Since I’m launching this blog during the Christmas month it seems fitting to kick it off with something festive so here’s some Javascript snow. A client wanted a snow effect on one of their pages but I struggled to find anything ready made that was remotely cross browser. So I decided to have a crack at making one myself… here’s how it looks: toggle snow. It has a few optional settings like colour, size, and the font and character to use for the snow – why not download it and have a play.
I’d like to think that this is a work in progress so maybe a new version will pop up at some point but in the meantime stay tuned for the next exciting episode of SCRIPTIC!
