Helpalot - charities we trust

We use Open Source Software

Helpalot uses various OSS packages to make the site better. All changes are of course given back to the OSS community.

The DHTML / JavaScript Calendar

This wonderful package gives us a great date chooser with all the functionality we could desire!

CodePress

To edit our styles, we use this real-time syntax highlighter. It makes our job editing our styles really easy!

TinyMCE

To avoid having to edit all pages in HTML by hand, we use the editor made by Moxiecode: TinyMCE. This saves us loads of time, because we can edit pages much faster.

Explorer Canvas

To be able to use the <canvas> element in Internet Explorer, we use Google's Explorer Canvas. We use the <canvas> element for the live budget-previews.
