I used z-index but it's not working, does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks. I already added wmode:transparent, it is working in firefox but not in IE 6. ...

Removing Javascript from HREFs

We want to allow "normal" href links to other webpages, but we don't want to allow anyone to sneak in client-side scripting. Is searching for "javascript:" within the HREF and onclick/onmouseover/etc. events good enough? Or are there other things to check? ...

I'm working on a Flex app that needs to display ads from third party vendors that come in the form of HTML docs containing javascript. Are there any components available that can display such things? It seems like we need a mini-browser that runs inside of Flex. Thanks a lot, Alex ...

Is there a centralized list of country names that can be used for web drop down boxes (and validation)

There are examples online with web select boxes that have a huge list of countries and that probably will be good enough for me to use. However, by Murphy's law, there's bound to be some random country that someone is from and isn't on my list (and probably someone else also ran into this and has updated their local list). Also, when new...

How to display loading status with preloader and multiple images?

I am building a slideshow with a few hundred images and would like to build a nice loading bar, so the idea was to preload the images using JavaScript, then initialize the rest of the UI afterwords. Preloading the images is not a problem, but getting the browser to update the status as things load is. I've tried a few things, but the br...

Using an anchor as a javascript action, what should the link be?

I've seen (and used) code to have a link spawn a javascript action many times in my life, but I've never come to a firm conclusion on if the href attribute should be blank or #. Do you have any preference one way or the other, and if so, why? <a href="" onclick="javascript: DoSomething();">linky</a> or <a href="#" onclick="javascrip...

How to allow CodeIgniter GET parameters

I know that codeIgniter turns off GET parameters by default. But by having everything done in POST, don't you get annoyed by the re-send data requests if ever you press back after a form submission? It annoys me, but I'm not sure if I want to allow GET purely for this reason. Is it such a big security issue to allow GET parameters t...

Editing Javascript for Vista Buttons

I generated drop down menus for my site in Vista Buttons. When it exports the buttons, they are in a .js file along with graphics files and .css to control everything.

Simple JavaScript problem: onClick confirm not preventing default action

I'm making a simple remove link with an onClick event that brings up a confirm dialog. I want to confirm that the user wants to delete an entry. However, it seems that when Cancel is clicked in the dialog, the default action (i.e. the href link) is still taking place, so the entry still gets deleted. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here......

Appropriate use of DL and DD?

I had some site templates designed for me recently. I got the final HTML code, which validates, but the structure of the document is laid out using DL-DD pairs: <dl> <dd class="some-class"> Some text. </dd> </dl> I'm not especially familiar with those tags as I've never used them much, but they don't seem intended for document...

How to tell if a DOM element is displayed?

This is not to be confused with "How to tell if a DOM element is visible?" I want to determine if a given DOM element is visible on the page. E.g. if the element is a child of a parent which has display:none; set, then it won't be visible. (This has nothing to do with whether the element is in the viewport or not) I could iterate thro...

Javascript + IMG tags = memory leak. Is there a better way to do this?

I've got a web page that's using jquery to receive some product information as people are looking at things and then displays the last product images that were seen.
