Tabbed Search v2 (JavaScript)

An alternative javascript file for Tabbed Search. Instead of changing the form action when clicking a table, it changes the action when clicking the submit button, so it does not impact on other possible submit buttons in the form. HTML and CSS pages remain the same.

The script: tabbedsearch.js

Text Clips for Programmers Notepad 2 (XHTML)

Update (23 June, 2005) : Added DOCTYPEs. More Programmers Notepad 2 text clips. 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...
