For all of you who may use Firebug on a PC, I thought I would pass along a short cut I stumbled upon this week.

The F12 key on the PC keyboard will open and close Firebug within the same browser window.

If you work with Firebug open in a separate window, then hitting F12 from the main window will shift focus to the Firebug window. To get back to the main browser window, you will need to use the mouse, or the Alt-Tab keyboard combination.

Through my work with The Governance Partnership, I’ve been given the opportunity to produce a post – Blogosphere rules OK? – for the blog on the TGP website, which I have done.

Many thanks Peter Hill and Ross Davies for the ongoing opportunity to work with TGP.

Back in November 2007, I wrote a post about using InDesign to craft visuals for website layouts. Since that posting, I have noted that a lot of traffic coming to my blog arrives from searches for ‘building websites using InDesign’ and related topics. On the back of all that traffic, I decided to look into the matter: can you really build a website using only InDesign?

The simple answer is no. At least not in InDesign CS2.

After many hours of research, and the Adobe InDesign CS2 Bible by Galen Gruman as my witness, I can definitively say that creating web pages directly from InDesign just isn’t possible. Gruman backs me up on this on page 688 of his Bible. Gruman writes that you could export XML from InDesign for import into Adobe GoLive. I’ve not tried that myself, but I can only imagine that coding horrors that might result.

But is it possible in CS3? That I don’t know as I only have CS2.
