Thoughts of Dan

I was thinking the other day that it would be useful to have a select option that people could also put their own options into on the fly.  Obviously you wouldn't do this if you wanted completely normalization, but many times I have made selects with an "other" option, and then below put a text field "If you have selected "other" please tell us what your preference is. This is meant to address that. <!

If the user choses "other" from the dropdown, he/she will be shown a text field into which he/she can put a new option. When the user clicks save, the option will be added to the select and made as the selected item. There is a place in the code where you can call the onchange after a new value is added, or comment out that if desir...

Need to curtail your surfing during certain time periods?  I've tweaked Gina Trapiani 's original code to make it a little more tolerant.  Put a few numbers into the "surfHours" array and you'll be able to access your "blocked" sites for one hour after each hour listed.  As an example, if surfHours = [9,13,17] you can access facebook (or any other site) from 9-10am, 1-2pm and 5-6pm. You can install the script directly from userScript and the source code is below.  If you don't know how to install a grease monkey script, check out the instructions at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/92640 // Invisibility Cloak // version 0.1 // Gina Trapani // 2006-01-03 // Released to the public domain. // // ==UserScript== // @name Modified Invisibility Cloak // @description Turns time-wasting web pages invisible until a specified time of day. // @include http://flickr.com/* // @include http://*.flickr.com/* // @include ...

I've been very frustrated recently with the fact that in facebook groups, if you press enter while typing a post, it submits the post.  If you just want to make a line break you have to hit shift-enter. Fortunately we don't have to live that way any more.  I've made a greasemonkey script for people who use firefox .  You can either install it directly or install it from the UserScripts.org site To be perfectly clear: You must be running firefox http://www.getfirefox.com  AND You must have GreaseMonkey installed:  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748/ BEFORE you can install my script. After you have installed my script when you are on a group page, press the alt-z to turn on safe typing. Now you will be able to press the enter key all you want to make line breaks. Then when you are ready to save, you can press the alt-q to turn OFF safe typing and THEN press enter (sequentially, not simultaneously), and your post will save....
