This snippet also you to limit the input in a form field to a specified number of characters. It displays a counter so users can see how many characters they have left, and once they reach the limit the field just trims the length to your limit.

The following is a snippet from what I used when I implemented a tagboard to my site. Further revisions could/should read the LIMIT from the maxlength attribute

Returns the keycode of the key we wrote on a textarea/input. works on IE and Firefox

it give us the position of the mouse. works on IE and Firefox

use:
onclick="posicion_mouse(event)"

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).

Return object by type. Revision 2.

I think that the problem comes when you populate a DataGrid's dataProvider with data from a a remoting call, such as a RecordSet returned from AMFPHP. The remoting protocol doesn't remember the datatype of each database column, so once you get the RecordSet back to ActionScript everything has become a String. You could go to the trouble of casting every numeric column's contents in the RecordSet to a Number so that the DataGrid will sort those columns numerically (1, 2, 3, ...) rather than lexicographically (1, 10, 11, ..., 2, 20, ...)... or you could throw this quick little function in and tell it which columns you consider numeric. It will replace the default sorting behavior with one that casts to numbers before comparing, when dealing in the columns you specify. Pass it an array of the columns' indices and the DataGrid in question. Non-numeric strings in the columns you specify will get treated as 0 and left unsorted at the top.

Just a small snippet I discovered when I was tired writing somearrayname\[i\] I thought there was something like foreach in javascript but couldn't find any so why not make one?
For those foreach(){...} lovers.

Hope it makes your life easier.

A websafe colour palette generator in JavaScript. Coded this after looking at http://www.bytemycode.com/snippets/snippet/585/ and wanting to do it differently.

It's been refactored so that:
* can pass generateColourPalette an arbitrary array of colour codes and it'll generate a palette.
* it hooks into the page through the external file
* uses an internal stylesheet instead of inline styles

Returns an array with all the objects with certain class. tested on IE 6 and Firefox 2

I use this function when passing an array to a function being called from setTimeout();
