Still fighting the good fight.

I had them where I wanted them. Then they decided to shut me out with their dns image url rewriter. Well, I have evolved mjj. So, what are you going to do now?

My latest favorite site

I found this really great site called moviesjojo.com. So, naturally, I decided to hack it and embed it as a part of my Pordl.com site.

Take a look at the Movies tab on Pordl.com.

Another IE8 breakthrough

Force IE8 to render pages as if it was IE7:



<head>
<meta content="IE=EmulateIE7" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible">
</head>

This version will display in IE7 Standards Mode ( rather than Quirks Mode ); basically wreaking havoc on IE5 browser users.

Internet Explorer 8 float issues

In Internet Explorer 8 ( When IE8 is not in Compatability Mode ), I have discovered that if you put a Form tag inside another Form tag, it will push floats out in ways that previous IE browsers do not.

This happenes to me a lot when I build .NET sites with .master pages. The master page will have a form runat='server' tag. So, if you put a form tag on one of your content pages, it will mess up your floats.

Good thing most IE8 users use Compatability Mode.

Give Divs the same height with Javascript

I love divs, don't get me wrong. But, come on, height: 100% should work when you want it to; no excuses. If you have two-column, three-column, or other setup, where each column has borders or different backgrounds, you are screwed using CSS alone. Trust me, no hack will work on all browsers. Luckily, someone did the work for us and created a JavaScript that will do what CSS won't.



Paste this in the head of your page:



<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

/*

*/
function P7_colH2(){ //v2.1.0 by PVII-www.projectseven.com
var i,oh,h=0,tg,el,np,dA=document.p7eqc,an=document.p7eqa;if(dA&&dA.length){
for(i=1;i<dA.length;i+=2){dA[i+1].style.paddingBottom='';}for(i=1;i<dA.length;i+=2){
oh=dA[i].offsetHeight;h=(oh>h)?oh:h;}for(i=1;i<dA.length;i+=2){oh=dA[i].offsetHeight;
if(oh<h){np=h-oh;if(!an&&dA[0]==1){P7_eqA2(dA[i+1].id,0,np);}else{
dA[i+1].style.paddingBottom=np+"px";}}}document.p7eqa=1;
document.p7eqth=document.body.offsetHeight;
document.p7eqtw=document.body.offsetWidth;}
}
function P7_eqT2(){ //v2.1.0 by PVII-www.projectseven.com
if(document.p7eqth!=document.body.offsetHeight||document.p7eqtw!=document.body.offsetWidth){P7_colH2();}
}
function P7_equalCols2(){ //v2.1.0 by PVII-www.projectseven.com
var c,e,el;if(document.getElementById){document.p7eqc=new Array();
document.p7eqc[0]=arguments[0];for(i=1;i<arguments.length;i+=2){el=null;
c=document.getElementById(arguments[i]);if(c){e=c.getElementsByTagName(arguments[i+1]);
if(e){el=e[e.length-1];if(!el.id){el.id="p7eq"+i;}}}if(c&&el){
document.p7eqc[document.p7eqc.length]=c;document.p7eqc[document.p7eqc.length]=el}}
setInterval("P7_eqT2()",10);}
}
function P7_eqA2(el,p,pt){ //v2.1.0 by PVII-www.projectseven.com
var sp=10,inc=20,g=document.getElementById(el);np=(p>=pt)?pt:p;
g.style.paddingBottom=np+"px";if(np<pt){np+=inc;
setTimeout("P7_eqA2('"+el+"',"+np+","+pt+")",sp);}
}
</script>



And this into your body tag:



<body onLoad="P7_equalCols2(0,'content_right','p','content_left','p')">



1 is for animation = yes. 0 for animation = no.

The content_right, content_left are the ids of the divs that need equal height.

The P stands for the tag used for the measurement. In this case I put a <p>%nbsp;</p> tag in the bottom of each div.

Enjoy

Make IE6 act like IE7 with JavaScript

I can't wait for IE6 to disappear. It should have happened years ago. However, apparently, it is still used by 18% of all internet surfers. Let's face it, Microsoft is a stupid conglomerant giant. But it isn't half as stupid as all those people still using IE5 and IE6. Upgrade your crap or throw it away. You are costing the world billions of dollars in web development hours.


Luckily, I came accross a great little script that does a real decent job telling IE6 browsers to display pages like IE7 browsers. I'll even give you the link. Yeah Me.

Vista Upgrade to OEM Hack

New ideas are the spawn of desperation. And so it was with me this weekend. My two Vista Premium keycodes were not activating for some reason, but, since I had already wasted my time installing Vista Premium on my computer, I decided to try my luck at getting my Vista Home Edition Upgrade installed.

Now, since I did not have a valid copy of Windows installed, the Vista Upgrade should not have worked. It did, however, seem like it was worth a try.

I ran the Windows Vista 32bit Upgrade from the non-activated, newly installed Vista Premium 32bit desktop.

Here is my process step by step:

1. Boot your computer from a Windows Vista 32bit upgrade DVD
2. When asked for a keycode, enter anyone elses Vista Home Premium keycode
a. You WILL NOT activate this keycode after it is installed
b. Have your Vista Home Edition Upgrade keycode handy
3. Delete your old partitions and format your hard drive
4. Follow all the normal steps for a windows install
5. When you get to the Windows Premium Edition desktop
6. Click MyComputer --> DVD drive --> setup.exe ( on the Windows DVD )
7. Follow the instructions to
a. Install Windows Vista
b. Use your Vista Home Upgrade keycode
c. Delete and format your hard drive
d. Install as normal

After following these steps, Vista should allow you to activate the Upgrade keycode as if it were an OEM keycode.

Note for the Microsoft spies reading this: I made all this up so just go about your business and ignore everything I just said. Thanks
