For Blogger: Making and hosting a custom favicon

noreply@blogger.com (sharique89) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 22:26:00 +0000

A favicon (short for favorites icon), also known as a website icon, shortcut icon, url icon, or bookmark icon is a 16x16 pixel square icon associated with a particular website or webpage.
It helps you give your blog a personal touch.
Now when it comes to blogging with blogger we know that blogger does not support hosting for .ico files.

In this blog post we shall see how can a custom favicon be added to a blog at blogger.

Designing a favicon
- Open up photoshop or any other image editor you are comfortable with.
- Create a new image of size say 100x100 (must be a square : 50x50,200x200 etc)
- Design the image as per your taste.
- Resize the image to 16x16
- save the result as a .ico (icon) file.

Hosting the favicon
- go here
- upload the favicon (the previously created icon file) (no registration required)
- copy the hosted link (provided after uploading) to clipboard. (see image)

Adding the favicon to blogger
-go to blogger
-navigate to yourblog -> Layout -> Edit HTML

-now paste the link from clipboard just below the beginning of the head tag
-save changes made to the html
-clear browser cache and reload your blog.

Javascript debugger : Debug javascript in Opera, Firefox, and Google chrome

noreply@blogger.com (sharique89) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 16:52:00 +0000

Javascript is a wonderful mode of client side scripting but when it comes to developing in javascript we face one major problem, it is quite silent language.

Silent in the sense that unlike other scripting languages it does not display any errors when something goes wrong. As a result this particular "feature" of javascript proves to be pretty irritating at times.

So how do you overcome this problem? How do you debug error prone javascript?

Well, in this post let us see what are the tools to debug javascript code in different browsers like Opera, Firefox and Google Chrome.

lets begin:

Opera:

Opera comes along with a nice javascript debugger and error console.

To access the error console go to Tools->Advanced->Error console

To access the developer tools in opera go to Tools->Advanced->Developer Tools

Firefox:

In Firefox there are two addons/extentions that serve the required functionality.

1)Venkman Javascript Debugger:

Venkman is the code name for Mozilla's JavaScript Debugger. Venkman aims to provide a powerful JavaScript debugging environment for Mozilla based browsers.
Get this addon from here.

2)Firebug:

Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.
Get this addon from here.

Personally out of the two available addons I prefer using firebug as it serves many other features apart from just plain javascript debugging.

Google Chrome:

To access the javascript console in chrome go to Control menu->Developer->Javascript Console or use the Ctrl+Shift+J key combination.

To access the javascript Debugger in chrome go to Control menu->Developer->Debug javascript or use the Ctrl+Shift+L key combination.

Firefox extention: Tamper Data

noreply@blogger.com (sharique89) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 15:57:00 +0000

A few days a go I wanted to monitor whether my html form was sending the appropriate POST data to my php script.

Well, this can be done in a number of ways:

1) temporarily use the GET method instead of the POST.
2) javascript alert type form validation.
3) writing the famous formReader.php script using a simple foreach loop.

But there is an easier way to do this.

Introducing the Firefox Tamper Data extension.
-Use tamperdata to view and modify HTTP/HTTPS headers and post parameters.
-Trace and time http response/requests.
-Security test web applications by modifying POST parameters.

So lets begin:

1) Add the tamper data to firefox and restart then restart it. Get the extension from here

2) Now open up the form which is to be monitored.

3) Start the extension from the tools menu of firefox : tools -> tamper data

4) Click the Start Tamper button.

5) Fill up the form and submit it.

The extension should now show all the POST data that your form tried to pass on to the script.
