File Thingie is a PHP file manager which works as a web based file manager.

Using this file manager is very handy when FTP is not available or practical to use. Plus, having multiple users and user groups is nice if you want other users to reach some folders that you want.

This 1 file PHP file manager has lots of features like:

• Upload multiple files at once
• Multiple users and user groups
• Create subdirectories
• Rename, move, delete and copy files and folders
• Search for file and folder names
• Control access to files based on black- or whitelists
• Edit text files
• Unzip files without downloading
• Easy customization of the CSS based layout

Tabbed content areas are a popular solution for the "lots of content - few space" problem.

Nettuts, a great tutorial website about web design & development has a nice example of creating a tabbed content area with jQuery & CSS.

When clicked to the tabs, content area switches to the new content with a slick accordion type effect.

Besides getting the ready to use codes from the tutorial, you can see how every step of the project is completed.

Here is the final demo of this tabbed content area.

Aflax is a library that enables developers to use JavaScript to fully utilize all of the features of Adobe’s Flash runtime including graphics, networking, video and camera support.

Flash JavaScript gateway that was released by Macromedia was only for Flash 7 or earlier and was a very low performance library as well. Aflax uses Flash 8’s new ExternalInterface which is much faster and more capable.

As a conclusion, using Aflax, you can create media players, animated charts, graphics & more with Flash without writing any ActionScript.

John Resig (the creator of jQuery) has created a pure JavaScript HTML parser that can definitely be very handy.

As more HTML code is inserted and formatted inside JavaScript tags, this parser can save serious development time with automating the process.

Some examples:

• Unclosed Tags: HTMLtoXML("<p><b>Hello") == '<p><b>Hello</b></p>'
• Empty Elements: HTMLtoXML("<img src=test.jpg>") == '<img src="test.jpg"/>'
• Attributes Without Values: HTMLtoXML("<input disabled>") == '<input disabled="disabled"/>'

HTML is a language with lots of tricks and the parser may fail in some cases but it will work in most of them and will become better by time for sure.

PSDfreebee is a website presenting free PSD files which you may find helpful while designing websites & applications.

Fireworks.js is a JavaScript file which helps you create configurable fireworks effects in your website.

Besides using it, it is also a nice example of JavaScript effects and script fired sounds to get inspired.

This JavaScript uses SoundManager for script triggered sounds and supports different types of fireworks effects including the "exploding-disappearing" and "random explosions".

There are lots of JavaScript color pickers which work great but there are few which are similar to the Photoshop’s color picker.

This JavaScript color picker has HSB and RGB options, uses Prototype and compatible with all major browsers.

This script can be a solution for users who are looking for an advanced color picker in their applications.

JSGallery is a very nice AJAX image gallery built with Mootools.

Look & effects of the script is configurable. It supports browsing with keyboard between images and also pages.

Features of this AJAX gallery:

• nice transitions for page change, image select, etc.
• supports easy to build no-script version

• visibility of prev/next handles is controlled by mouse distance

It is simply a JavaScript that helps creating rollover image-like links with text .

And that’s it.
