Trim , Left trim (ltrim) and Right Trim (rtrim) in javascript

I found this to be a neat little trick for hiding(somewhat) source javacscript code from peering eyes...

This function will unload all linked javascript files so that when you view source - you see no javascript files! (Especially helpful when using FF and using web-developer tools - no linked js files are displayed) The files remain resident in memory - allowing for the functions to work.

Just call the function in the tag

If you have ever written a website or java application where people paste stuff in from Word, you are likely to have hit the problem of Word using high ascii chars for "open quotes", "close quotes", reg symbol, etc...

This java class (with a single static method) can replace the most prevalent of these with normal ascii values

Hope it helps someone...

Here's a simple JavaScript solution to hide your e-mail from many spam scripts while still providing clickable hyperlinks to your visitors.

Web crawlers and visitors with JavaScript disabled will see: me [at] mydomain [dot] com. I've seen a lot of people that just leave it at this, but it seems a bit unprofessional in my opinion. With the following code, we can replace that with a fully functional hyperlink.

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.

Given a PHP array (even a deep nested array), returns a string representation of that array as JavaScript array. Useful when using PHP to output JavaScript.

Similar to Perl's CGI::escapeHTML(), though (because we can!) this adds it as a method to all String objects.

Basically, you can dynamically ask the webpage to look at a current object's attributes/values or even change the object's attributes/values. As such, running this script on any browser of your choice should show what attributes your particular browser will allow for an object reference you typed in.
