Check out these extremely cool and easy web development tricks, tips and pointers. What's great is that these tips range from programming and promotion to design and working with Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks:

Dreamweaver tricks: Firstly, use a common structure for all your website pages. This can be accomplished by simply learning how to create Dreamweaver Templates. Secondly, place some common codes into include files, by learning how to create and use (SSI) or Server Side Includes. Finally, create rollover images/buttons in Dreamweaver.

Fireworks tricks: Firstly, start of by creating rollover images and buttons in Fireworks. Secondly, create Swap images and animated gifts in Fireworks.

JavaScript (CSS Styles) tips: Create Text Rollovers and Links without Underlines. However, if any CSS styles made by you, are not working in Netscape, don't panic! Just check if you have given a name for the style with a special character like (_), which is not accepted by Netscape.

JavaScript (DHTML) Tips: Firstly, if you have a Category list (select) box in a form named 'frmTemp' (whose action should be null) ...
... then just have the following code in the select box tag. . Next, in the tag have the value of each option as the URL of the page you want to redirect to. Next, check that the programming language you are using has been submitted and then redirected to the page URL you got from the value of 'lstCategory'. Finally, always remember that page redirection should be done before sending any data to the user's browser.

Active Server Pages (ASP) Tips: When dealing with any type of database, always remember to 'Open the connection at the latest and Close it at the earliest'. Secondly, don't ever create record sets for insert and update statements. For example, if your database connection name is 'DBConn' then use DBConn.execute (SQLString). Finally, Set all the assigned variables to 'Nothing' using the SET operator. This even includes the fields, Recordsets and Connection Object.

SQL Server Tips: While working with the SQL data display pane, you may at some point want to place a null value that stores the value truly as ''. In order to achieve this, just select the cell and press the 'Ctrl'+'0' (Zero) keys.

Flash Tips: With regards to flash, never use the 'Include all font outlines' option when using text boxes. Also, try to use a minimum number of frames and small symbols that can be enlarged, when required.

Hope these tips make a great impact!
