Get computed Width of an HTML Element

Advanced CSS Hovering

Clearing Floats

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

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

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.

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.

Make IE bend to your every will and command.

Not really a hack, but rather a workaround for layout problems with IE.
