Inject jQuery into a page with a bookmarklet

Three easy steps to making your own jQuery bookmarklet, allowing you to dynamically inject jQuery into any page on the internet.

Make a new bookmark in your browser, name it “Inject jQuery”
Copy and paste this code into the “location” of the bookmarklet:
javascript:var%20s=document.createElement(’script’);s.setAttribute(’src’,%20′http://jquery.com/src/jquery-latest.js’);document.getElementsByTagName(‘body’)[0].appendChild(s);alert(‘jQuerified’);void(s);

Godaddy and Google’s Gdata API

So after several hours of painstaking research and trial and error I finally figured out how to make the Google Data API work with Godaddy servers.

Free up to 20% of your used hard disk space on Vista

Some of Windows Vista’s “Enhancements” have made the operating system rely heavily on valuable hard disk space.  Recently I’ve been trying to comprehend how I could have possibly filled up a 750 gb hard drive with 680 gb of information after only owning the computer for 6 months.  The fact of the matter is that [...]

jQuery stay focused!

This is really just something for all you new jQuery learners, if you want to keep the cursor inside of a text box, even if you click elsewhere on the page, you can do this:
//Initial focus on #inputfieldid
$(“#inputfieldid”).focus();
//When you click anywhere it focuses back on #inputfieldid
$(this).click(function(){
$(“#inputfieldid”).focus();
});

another thing that I should have invented when i had thought of it… grr.But seriously, after 2 weeks of having the internet shut off at 5:30 at my house everyday i’ve learned that I would be such a nub tub without it.
