PhotoShop halftone plug-in. Halftone patterns made easy. You can apply perfect, smooth dots, tightly aligned to a grid. Use Halftone for pre-press work or use any of it's features to create artistic work. Halftone uses it's own way to generate the patterns and dots. This allows Halftone to render very precise results. Using fully correct 2D models for all the shapes, enables a number of features not found in other plug-ins. Almost everything in Halftone can be changed. From simple things like changing the color of the dots to deforming the grid alignment in a number of different ways. You can use custom shapes, user-created pictures that can be used as shapes. You can precisely control size and scale. Some of the effects can even be randomized for an even more life-like look.

take notice of the "Actions" palette within Photoshop. However, if you're ready to get started, here's what you need to do: (1.) Find the action that you've downloaded on your computer and double-click it (alternatively, make sure the "Actions" palette is open in Photoshop, click on the arrow in the upper right and choose "Load Actions..." from the dropdown menu). This will load the action into Photoshop's action palette. (2.) You should now see a folder (at the bottom of the list) with the name of the action you just loaded. Open this folder by clicking on the arrow to its left, and you will see the actual action or actions inside. Select one of these, and then press the play button (located along the bottom of the palette). (3.) Follow any on-screen instructions and have fun!

using JavaScript to improve the quality of forms looks at one final aspect of 'required' fields, the Select element. It also covers Regular Expressions that can be used to limit the kind of characters accepted in a field, and techniques using Hidden fields that can make received data easier to understand.

a list of over 90 useful AJAX-based techniques you should always have ready to hand developing AJAX-based web-applications. Auto-completion, instant field editing, menus, calendars, interactive elements, visual effects, animation, basic javascripts, as well as an extensive developer’s suite should give you a useful and powerful toolbox you can use every day, without a need to go through hundreds of AJAX-related bookmarks.

the book is still worth buying as a language reference, if only for its treatment of closures and object creation, but for now you'll have to look online for more detailed, exhaustive, and "definitive" treatment of many topics.

If you are interested or you have the same problems - just write me and together we can find the solution :-). Mostly these scripts were created for a particular task, that's why I did not pay a lot of attention to error checking - is file open for writing, does the document exist, is the text region highlighted... If something from the scripts below does not work, you have questions or you want to improve something - feel free to contact me. Recently I work mostly with QuarkXPress, that's why the bigger part of scripts are intended to work with this application. There are some for Finder, operational system, or set of Photoshop-Illustrator-QuarkXPress.
