I have created this sippet because I VPN into work to check problems or e-mail and had to change my IE settings to surf the internet. With this sippet, once configured will allow you to override your internet explorer proxy settings to connect and browse the internet with one double click of the mouse or as I have done, add it to my VPN profile auto starter and it reconfigures my internet browser after i'm connected.
(this will shut the browser if it's running, make the changes and launch it with the changed configuration)

check title ; ) unfortunately cannot remember the name(s) of the author(s) , so the courtesy goes to them ...

These are some prototype methods to handle class names in html elements. As you all should know, a html element can have more than one class name.

This is part of my dom handling toolkit. Check it out and use it at will.

A wrapper on top of createElement for getting around IE problems with manipulating the name attribute. Unlike most solutions for this, it tests for which method to use once when the page loads rather than every time an element is created. By Chaos of Lost Souls MUD (a text-based fantasy RPG).

This is a very simple navigation.

Don't know if anyone will find this handly, but here's a CSS processor that I wrote that allows me to nest CSS Blocks, and various other things, making for an easier to maintain CSS file.

Warning: I'd recommend caching the results since I didn't have a need to optomize it for speed.

Things that it includes:
*Nested CSS Rules
*Removes Whitespace
*Allows for // comments
*Removes comments (so put them in at no cost)

Please let me know what you think

There seems to be so many hide/show scripts out there, so here's the functions I wrote and use on a regular basis - there are 7 functions, hide, show and toggle by id or class - and the getElementByClass function that does not exist as a built in Javascript function...

This is in response to the flurry of visibility scripts that just don't have all the pieces needed to make them totally useful.

An easy way to hide and show div's using Javascript and CSS.

Basically just a slight variation on this script by Real Gagnon.

This one may get me in trouble or kicked off MySpace altogether, but I thought it would be a fun bit of CSS magic to post.

As some of you may already know, MySpace does a REALLY good job of preventing images, script and some other tags from being used to customize your space. They have even gone to the extent of using tables without ID's to do the layout.

Pretty ingenious, allowing some customization, but still keeping those annoying ads for single women available to me and my youth groups kids, my family, etc..

Well no more - I want my friends to visit My Site, not just MySpace - so I have a clever method of getting them to go there, instead of posting comments on MySpace...

This snippet allows an aspx page (c#) to accept URL parameters to allow styles or script to be dynamically appended to the rendered page.

I wrote this simple snippet to allow one of our vendors to accept a style override so that their application would morph into something more closely resembling our own portal application. Please see screenshots for clarification.

This function will set the style of an element by it's ID

This function sets a particular style for an element based on it's class

Allows you to hide all elements on an HTML page by their tag name. Extremely handy in getting around the "Windowless Elements" problem in IE, which is a bug that puts certain elements, most commonly select boxes, on top of any other element, no matter what. As you can imagine, this causes real problems with DHTML drop-down menus and such like. This is the simplest and quickest fix I've come up with, I simply set this function to run alongside the drop-down and all of the select tags vanish before a menu drops, then I run the show function when the menu retracts.

Hi. i found this css file very useful for all the newbies who use frontpage2003 text. Just try this css code and specially for color text.

This JScript code could be used in HTML applications (HTA) or other user-trusted web applications for saving data into files.

If you're an IE user you may have noticed that when you hover on a medium to large sized image, a toolbar appears in the corner of the image. It's basically useless as it accomplishes nothing that can't be done with a right-click.

Luckily, Microsoft has included a way for webmasters to disable this function.

Here's a library to manage CSS class names on DOM elements.

Gives you the ability to dynamically include a CSS file at any time in your HTML page using Javascript.

This shows how the computed style of each node differs from the computed style of its parent. The root element, which has no parent, is instead compared against the root of a blank HTML document.

* create a new bookmark called "compute styles" in your firefox toolbar. Place the snippet code in the location field of your "compute styles". click the compute styles bookmark, then click an element on the page with the crosshairs.

Normally in CSS whichever rule is specified last takes precedence. However if you use !important after a command then this CSS command will take precedence regardless of what appears after it.

this is a css to style a definition list to get a calendar list type.
