This simple macro allows you to wrap whatever text is selected in a tag - a feature that somehow is missing from Visual Studio 2008... Sub SurroundWithTag() Dim selectedText = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text Dim tag As String tag = InputBox("Enter tag name", "Tag", "strong") If (tag = "") Then MsgBox("No tag defined") Else ' no end tag needed as Visual Studio creates the end tag.. DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = String.Format("<{0}>{1}", tag, selectedText) End If End Sub Based on the answer to this question found on Stack Overflow: Macro to wrap selected text with tags in Visual Studio (which also details how you can create a macro)

jQuery allows you to get the background image of any element on a web page: $("#myelement").css("background-image"); However, this returns it in an undesirable format: url(http://example.com/images/image.jpg) or url("http://example.com/images/image.jpg") . With a bit of string replacement, you can get extract the URL: function extractUrl(input) { // remove quotes and wrapping url() return input.replace(/"/g,"").replace(/url\(|\)$/ig, ""); } So now you can just do this: extractUrl($("#myelement").css("background-image")) Which will return the URL on its own http://example.com/images/image.jpg .
