Portable Firefox / Thunderbird

There are portable versions (unofficial packages) of the Firefox browser and Thunderbird email client available. Useful for running your favourite browser/email client on a removable drive (like a USB pen drive).

Some tags are not included (b, big, i, small, sub, sup) as these can be replaced with existing tags (em, strong), or styled using CSS. Create a file in the clips sub directory of the Programmers Notepad directory, with the extension .clips (i.e. xhtmltags.clips) and paste in the following code: <?xml version="1.0"?> <clips name="XHTML Tags"> <clip name="------ DOCTYPEs ------"></clip> <clip name="XHTML 1.0 transitional"><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">|]]></clip> <clip name="XHTML 1.0 strict"><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">|]]></clip> <clip name="XHTML 1.1...

Shrink Image (JavaScript)

This function shrinks an image, so its dimensions are no bigger than the maximum dimensions you define. // get new dimensions so it fits within the maximum // o = original dimensions / image, m = maximum dimensions function shrink(o, m) { // r = resized var r = {width: o.width, height: o.height}; // if an image, rather than an object, resize it if(o.nodeName && o.nodeName.toLowerCase() == "img") r = o; if(r.width > m.width) { r.height = r.height * (m.width / r.width); r.width = m.width; if(r.height > m.height) { r.width = r.width * (m.height / r.height); r.height = m.height; } } else if(r.height > m.height) { r.width = r.width * (m.height / r.height); r.height = m.height; } return r; } To use, simply supply the image and the dimensions to constrain it to: var image = document.getElementById("image"); var max = {width: 1024, ...
