I’m working on a web site using JSP and I found this great article that should be helpful for JSP programmers.
Typical Web applications require the use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript, together with a server-side framework, such as JavaServer Faces (JSF). CSS lets you change the visual characteristics of Web components within Ajax and other applications so they can have a pleasant and distinctive look. In the first installment of this two-part series, find out how to use the CSS-related attributes of standard JSF components. In addition, learn how to create a custom JSF component that sets the default styles of nested components, making it very easy to ensure a consistent look for all pages of your Web application. You can also use this technique to programmatically set other component attributes, as you’ll see in Part 2, which will show how to make JSF forms more dynamic using JavaScript.
Adobe has announced the availability of Flex 3 and AIR 1.0 for public. With the release of AIR runtime, web technologies has now moved ahead one big step out of the browser into users desktop. Now you can deploy web technologies such as Flash and Ajax into desktop environment that runs across operating systems.
Adobe has also launched Open Source Site, and according to Adobe “This site presents the definitive view into open source activities at Adobe, including details regarding projects that Adobe participates in and hosts”.
And a great news at least for me, if you are a student or a faculty employment you can get a free version of Adobe Flex Builder 3 Pro here.
Nothing special. I just want to point out that there is 29th in February this year because it is a leap year dudes! So tomorrow will be 29th of February. If your birthday is on 29th, I really feel sorry for you, although celebrating birthday is not a big deal!
Do I make sense you ask?
Well, probably no!
Some people in Kuwait are complaining about Fasttelco‘s security issues where some users are logging into different account. It started with a forum post that a user is experiencing some problem with his gmail account and logging on different account. That user was able to see other’s information and read his email. Google says that they are now working with Fasttelco to solve this problem.
However, it seems that the problem extended even more and reports are coming that the same problem is happening with Facebook and hotmail. A caching problem in Fasttelco is causing this glitch as the report says.
Fasttelco is one of the few ISPs in Kuwait and was established in 2000. More information about Fasttelco can be found here.

Good web developer takes care of as much as possible of users browsing there web site whatever OS or web browser they are using. A good tool to do that is Browsershots that gives you a screenshot of many browsers and different version of every browser.
I found this great source of tutorials for anyone who’d like to learn a new JavaScript and Ajax framework. RoseIndia has a whole section in its web site just for Dojo Tutorial. A great free way to learn Ajax with step by step tutorials but you must have some knowledge in using JavaScript.
