I created this image by following a tutorial linked to from a Sitepoint newsletter which was nice. You’ll need a modern browser to see the image as intended.. (Firefox, IE7) Stretch your browser window down to a width narrower than the image.
By the way you should definitely check out PracticalAction.org if you’re feeling charitable… or want to know how to do stuff.

eWebedit in Firefox

To get eWebedit working in Firefox, you’ll need to install an activex interpreter. This should be automatically installed by visiting this Esker plugin demo page.

Once the demo is working, you’ll need a user agent switcher to fool eWebedit into thinking you are using Netscape 7.
User agent switcher

After restarting Firefox, if you don’t have a Netscape 7 user agent string installed by default.. check under Tools -> User Agent Switcher ->
then you can import mine.
User Agent Strings (Right click -> Save Links As)
Tools -> User Agent Switcher -> Options -> Options -> User Agents -> Import

Select Netscape 7 as your User Agent, visit your page that uses eWebedit, and all should be rosy. You’ll need to switch the User agent to Netscape 7 each time you want to use eWebedit after closing Firefox.
