For one of my soon to be released projects I was asked to create a footer background image that was stuck to the bottom of the website or broswer window. Finding a cross browser css footer was a pain, and inplementing it took some trial and error with the numbers but it worked!

I wrote my first javascript application last night. I know it’s not very complex, its actually just a form handler. All the same though, I had wanted to write the handler in php, but that was not going to work as it would require the page to reload.
After I figured out I was using the wrong language it didn’t take long to find some tutorials and learn the basics. Knowing a little php and html of course helped a lot. Variables and whatnot work in pretty much the same way, so far the biggest difference is just that java is case sensitive.
The W3school did a wonderful of pointing me in the right direction.
Here is a list of their basic javascript examples. I highly recommend it.

There are three main limitations at present, and google is working to resolve them:
1. Googlebot does not execute some types of JavaScript. So if your web page loads a Flash file via JavaScript, Google may not be aware of that Flash file, in which case it will not be indexed.
2. We currently do not attach content from external resources that are loaded by your Flash files. If your Flash file loads an HTML file, an XML file, another SWF file, etc., Google will separately index that resource, but it will not yet be considered to be part of the content in your Flash file.
3. While we are able to index Flash in almost all of the languages found on the web, currently there are difficulties with Flash content written in bidirectional languages. Until this is fixed, we will be unable to index Hebrew language or Arabic language content from Flash files.
We’re already making progress on these issues, so stay tuned!

“Today Adobe systems made an announcement that it has provided technology and information to Google and Yahoo! to help the two search engine rivals index Shockwave Flash (SWF) file formats. According to the company, this will provide more relevant search rankings of the millions pieces of flash content. “
This is huge news! Until now you’ve had to recode the flash with swapping divs, xml, or other such trickery to get the search engines to read any part of it. It should be noted that neither company has disclosed how they will implement this new crawling software or how it will affect their algorithm, but none the less, this is progress being made.
It should be noted that this will only affect Yahoo and Google, so all the little search engines and content scraping websites will still be unable to read or harvest content. So the old work a rounds will still be used by real web developers to guarantee results across the board.
