UserScript: Telecom NZ Broadband Stats

Michael Robinson — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 05:47:23 +0000

I finally got sick of manually calculating my remaining broadband allowance, and wrote a Greasemonkey script that to do it for me. Update: I’ve updated this script, it now displays remaining bandwidth on the Telecom NZ initial login screen. It waits until the relevant element has been loaded, then pulls the information it requires from [...] No related posts.

Scriptaculous Draggable reverteffect Example

Michael Robinson — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 11:30:29 +0000

I had a bit of a hard time finding which arguments are passed to the reverteffect function. Scriptaculous’ documentation is somewhat opaque: Effect, default to Effect.Move. Defines the effect to use when the draggable reverts back to its starting position. Hmm, no mention of any arguments passed to the reverteffect function… Here is an example [...]

IE8 & Assigning Classnames With new Element(‘…’)

Michael Robinson — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 00:23:56 +0000

When dynamically creating elements using Prototype’s new Element(‘…’) method, I ran into this irritating gotcha with IE8. While the following looks great and works well in Firefox: new Element('span', { 'class': 'someClassName' }); In IE8, not so much. What one expects, and gets in Firefox: <span class="someClassName"></span> What one gets in IE8: <span></span> Hmmm, where [...]

Scriptaculous Effect.Morph IE6

Michael Robinson — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 00:00:15 +0000

Ran into a weird bug the other day in IE6. Some elements, h1′s, weren’t animating with their parent when the parent was being Effect.Morphed. Every other element was moving, but the h1′s just sat there, looking really stupid. I think the use of Twin Helix’s IE PNG Fix was a contributing factor here, since writing [...]

OK Javascripters, check it out: the IE family don’t like you. Or they love you. I’m not sure. Maybe they just want you to be better? To produce perfect absolutely syntax-error free code.

JS-Kit Comments for Each Blog Entry

Michael Robinson — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 08:29:48 +0000

In this short tutorial I will describe how to use the JS-Kit commenting system in Rapidweaver. By then end of this tutorial you will have learned how to insert the code into yor blog so that each post has its own comments - the comments will show in permalinks, category and tag versions of each post. When someone comments on a post, JS-Kit will notify you by email. Included in the email that you, and other people who comment then recieve replies are sent will be a link to the permalink entry of the post in which the comment is displayed. You will be able to use JS-Kitâ€™s excellent moderating system to manage your comments.

Archive Annihilator Improved Again

Michael Robinson — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 00:15:56 +0000

The solution for the â€œsidebar explosionâ€ effect that the Archive Annihilator caused occurred to me earlier today. The fix was pretty simple, the fact that I didnâ€™t think of it right away is a little embarrassing. No related posts.
