I was playing around with some code recently and discovered - more or less by accident - that we can include any fully functioning standalone menu by doing the following. The scripts and styles belonging to the external file will be preserved after inclusion: 1. We put this script just before the closing body-tag of the external file: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> try{top.document.getElementById('container_div').innerHTML=document.documentElement.innerHTML} ...
<script type="text/javascript"> try{top.document.getElementById('container_div').innerHTML=document.documentElement.innerHTML}
The player used on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID is YouTube's version3 player. If you want to use it directly (without the watch?v= part) you can do, for instance: http://www.youtube.com/v/EUSsXdhxFIM?version=3. (You may have to press CTRL if you want this to work in IE). The advantage of the version3-player over other versions is that a click on a playing video doesn't open a new YouTube window containing all sorts of information that you may not be interested in. The click ...

The Sticky Tooltip script has some room for updating as I've outlined here: Sticky Tooltip script - not sticky and here: Sticky Tooltip script - no dock in IE 7- for image map In those threads I offer piecemeal solutions, the first of which above is the most problematic: Originally Posted by jscheuer1 Even on the demo page, if the tip is in sticky mode and one mouses over one of the other triggers, the tip changes position and content. Also in sticky mode, ...

Sometimes we want to get the style of something. But, since it wasn't set inline or via javascript, or perhaps was set in a stylesheet using the: Code: !important keyword that overrides inline and javascript assignments, we cannot access it. Here is a fairly robust script that will allow us to do so in many cases: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> ...
!important
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Some Remarks about Ajax-includes using document.write I. Why document.write? Including external content with the help of document.write brings in external html AND external code (js, css). This is a clear advantage of document.write over other inclusion-methods, like innerHTML (does not execute scripts) and appendChild (does not automatically import all the external js and/or css when IE, Chrome or Opera are used). To see this, create a file external.html with some js in it, ...
