Easy Template System template code to take an unformatted phone number and make it display as (xxx) xxx-xxxx

{if: {php}strlen({phoneNumber}){/php} >= 10}({php}substr({phoneNumber}, -10, 3){/php}) {/if}{php}substr({phoneNumber}, -7, 3){/php}-{php}substr({phoneNumber}, -4){/php}

Problem - calling a function in <script> tags from dynamic ajax results does not get executed by the browser

Resolution - make a pixel image and call the function with the onload event in the image

<img src="some_image.jpg" onload="someFunction();">

Will always have the vertical scrollbar and no horizontal scrollbar. Horizontal can be done by using -x

overflow-y: scroll;

AGAIN another IE fix. IE of course does not recognize the max-width CSS property. This piece of code will fix it for IE6 and IE7. This code snip will make the maximum width for the html object 900 pixels.

.cssClass
{
width:expression(document.body.clientWidth > 900? "900px": "auto" );
}

Include this javascript to make PNG 24 bit transparencies work properly in IE 5.5 and 6

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script language="JavaScript">

   var arVersion = navigator.appVersion.split("MSIE")
   var version = parseFloat(arVersion[1])
   if ((version >= 5.5) && (document.body.filters)) 
   {
      for(var i=0; i<document.images.length; i++)
      {
         var img = document.images[i]
         var imgName = img.src.toUpperCase()
         if (imgName.substring(imgName.length-3, imgName.length) == "PNG")

Disable a checkbox via HTML or javascript.

<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="MyCheckbox" VALUE="Select Me" DISABLED>

document.forms[0].MyCheckbox.disabled = true;

This bit of javascript will check and uncheck all checkboxes in a group of checkboxes. The checkboxes are grouped by naming all the checkboxes by the same name.

Javascript Code:

function checkUncheckAll(checkAllState, cbGroup)
{
        // Check that the group has more than one element
        if(cbGroup.length > 0)
        {
                // Loop through the array
                for (i = 0; i < cbGroup.length; i++)
                {
                        cbGroup[i].checked = checkAllState.checked;
                }
        }
        else
        {
                // Single element so not an array
                cbGroup.checked = checkAllState.checked;
        }
}

HTML Code:

<input type=checkbox name=checkall onclick="checkUncheckAll(this, grp1);">
<input type=checkbox name=grp1 id=bx1>
<input type=checkbox name=grp1 id=bx2>
<input type=checkbox name=grp1 id=bx3>
<input type=checkbox name=grp1 id=bx4>

Makes a symbolic link in linux

ln -s /home/dir_to /home/dir_from

//dir_to is the existing directory you want dir_from to point to symbolically

When you need to diable selection of text in a page use the following events in the wrapping tag. This is useful if you use javascript ondblclick and don't want the text to be selected.

onmousedown will stop the selection in Firefox. IE will still select text though so you must also use onselectstart to keep IE from selecting the text.

<td onmousedown="return false;" onselectstart="return false;">
