convert An integer to a string

This code allows you to set the "opcity" style attribute on a element without affecting it's content.

Just call the function for a specific element or to all elements of a given classname after the document loads.

Examples and advanced usage here...

This perl subroutine uses the CPAN module Mail::Webmail::Gmail to iterate through a Gmail account searching for a particular string. If a match is found, the sender's name along with his/her email address, the subject, and the "blurb" is printed to standard out. Also, all messages found will be archived automatically within Gmail to clear the message from the inbox folder. The subroutine returns the number of messages found back to the calling environment.

Sample invocation: check_email(username, password);

By default, the subroutine will use encryption to connect to Gmail however, by setting encrypt_session to '0' will disable encryption.

This code snippet will validate an IP Address (IP v4).
return true if the ip address is valid. Else false.

This is a version of my previous entrant, Promise, that will work with prototype, but does not require it. It's slightly more advanced, using .apply here and there.

It's basically a function to allow any other function to poll. Polling is generally regarded as bad practice in object oriented code, but can make very simple the matter of, for example, running a bit of code only after a single-run event (like onload) occurs (whether that be in the future or past), another unrelated bit of code needs to be hack-tracked, or any other generic condition.

Note that when the function runs, it doesn't necessarily run within the scope that's called it. Its context is set to itself, rather than its normal context, and it's asynchronous, so you'll not get a return value. If you use Prototype, you can bind the function and it'll behave as it should in terms of context, but I'm unaware of a way to cause an asynch function to block execution - and you'd really rather that not happen anyway, trust me.

Simple. It's parse_url, from PHP, implemented in Javascript. Seen a lot of similar ones around the web, but they were all bulky code and none of them took advantage of the RegEx parser in JS.

Applied as a member of the String prototype, so just call as myURL.parseURL(); Will return a named object with naming identical to that of PHP's function.

Additional: if first argument is present, will break the querystring up into name/value pairs, unescaped, and return that instead of the raw querystriing.

This script performs reliable, cross-browser input autofocus that often can be used simply by dropping it in, with no modifications to the form or HTML body. It refuses to switch focus if it detects that the user has interacted with the form (avoiding a major source of annoyance with autofocus scripts) and correctly handles Firefox tabs opened "in the background", which most autofocus scripts fail on.
