I had searched high and low for a way to generate a palette of web-safe colors. Despite Google's best efforts, what I had found was lacking for my needs. So, I decided to write a library that would generate all 216 web safe colors, and then allow me to manipulate those colors in any way that I chose.

If anybody is curious as to why I would want to do something so... simple, it is because I needed a very light-weight color picker, and didn't want to mess with any fancy options.

Rather than have standalone functions rtrim, ltrim, and trim (as in http://www.bytemycode.com/snippets/snippet/397/) why not have them as methods of all string objects?

Center Pop-up

A simple back button in JavaScript.

function to validate mac address

Remove control character from a string

Find min and max of an array

A prototype function to get an array of elements by id in an array

Gives you control to perform actions when the control key and the mouse button is clicked in the same time. Something similar to selecting elements in Windows with ctrl+click.

Just change the event.ctrlKey to event.shiftKey to make it shift+click. If you don't get it don't worry the snippet contains the demo for shift+click too.

You may need to change the event.which though 1 = left click, 2 = middle click, 3 = right click(at least in firefox 1.5.0.5)

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.
