Plugins / Tools / Extensions / Updates:
There are countless downloads and plugins available on the web to make your design and developing process that little bit easier. Here are a few useful ones that I have found recently:
Run Internet Explorer 5 for Mac using ies4osx
For all those dedicated Mac users who cringe at the mention of IE and what it does to your beautifully designed websites. Who don't want to give up disk space, or speed, by running Boot Camp. There is now an open-source simulator allowing you to proof your work in IE.
It's as simple as downloading ies4osx and WINE, running, installing, and launching. It actually runs the program X11 which is part of OSX 10.5 and an optional install for 10.4 - but please note, this only works with Intel processors i'm afraid!
Lorem Ipsum for Dreamweaver Extension
One of the most useful tools ever for mocking up sites, now its quick and easy to use dummy text on your pages from within Dreamweaver!
Spry Framework Updater
The Spry framework is a Javascript library that provides quick and easy ways to build pages with interactivity and advanced widgets. If you are running CS3/4 then this updater is a must to ensure your pages function properly!
Lightbox JS
Lightbox is increasingly popular on the web as a way of showing images. It's as simple as downloading the JavaScript file's and following instructions.
