Combo box or select box do not work in IE7. Solutions here

Adobe to stop work on the Flash plugin for mobiles

Adobe are to soon announce they will be dropping the Flash plugin for mobile devices. According to a report by ZDNet:
 
“Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will be focused on enabling Flash developers to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores. We will no longer adapt Flash Player for mobile devices to new browser, OS version or device configurations. Some of our source code licensees may opt to continue working on and releasing their own implementations. We will continue to support the current Android and PlayBook configurations with critical bug fixes and security updates.”
 
It is shame Steve Jobs isn’t here to witness this…

You can now find it via TOOLS – WEB DEVELOPER
