Artist.com [Laszlo WebTop]

Laszlo WebTop for Artists

Laszlo WebTop for Artists

“Webtop contains a client-server framework to support advanced Ajax applications. It consists of a server-side component, implemented as a Java servlet that can run in any Java servlet container, and client-side components, which are included as OpenLaszlo libraries.” ~Laszlo Webtop

Before Artist.com became an aggregated content site, there were plans to create a personalized, online community that specifically catered to artists looking to create a one of a kind web presence. Features included, dedicated artist email, IM, shopping carts, contacts portfolios, demo’s etc and served everyone from fine artists to rock bands. The technology / platform of choice was Laszlo’s WebTop product. Out of the box, Webtop provided ALL of the features we needed to get a robust version 1.0 out the door with some “skinning” and hosting customization.

Photography.com “Face” Lift.

As the Online Source For Photography, these photography.com visual design concepts were specifically aimed at creating a drastically different (than today) branded site, as well as a key focus on SEARCH functionality for photographers, featured photos / portfilios and an overall update to the look and feel catering specifically to the professional and budding photographer industries.

White iFrame Backgrounds in IE **FIXED**

If your using iframes as an interface design element, you may be experiencing the massively ANNOYING white background that get’s rendered in IE 6, 7 & 8. I’ve found this to be especially true when creating custom themes for WordPress. IE will pay no regard to any style that attempts to force it otherwise.

Here’s the fix:

Add this script to the head tag:

  • onload = function()
  • {
  • var theframes = document.getElementsByTagName('iframe');
  • for(var i = 0; i < theframes.length; i++)
  • {
  • theframes[i].setAttribute("allowTransparency","true");
  • }
  • breakout_of_frame()
  • }

WOOT! [ don't add the WOOT! >;) ]
