HtmlEntities Adobe AIR widget
Do you know the HTML Entity Character Lookup at Left Logic (leftlogic.com)? It comes in pretty handy, when you need special characters and their HTML entites, and it’s much faster than scanning through hundreds of rows of characters. I made an Adobe AIR Flash version.
The HTML Entity Character Lookup was originally developed by Remy Sharp as a HTML + JavaScript (i.e. web app) as well as an OS X dashboard widget. The only possibility for windows users to use that app offline was the HTML Entity Character Lookup Firefox plugin made by Yining. I wanted something different, so here it is: The first release of my Adobe AIR HtmlEntity widget. Now updated for AIR 1.0! In order to run this, you’ll need to install the Adobe AIR runtime available at http://adobe.com/go/getair. Once you got the runtime, you can install HtmlEntities by clicking the button below.
