Thanks Chris! Yes there was a fair amount of sarcasm sprinkled in there.

Yeah, computers and the Internet are strange and magical things. It's definitely not worth the effort to try to learn how to use them properly.</sarcasm> "Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? I just the other day got...an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday [Tuesday]. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially." Sadly, many of those responsible for making laws concerning the computers and the Internet have no idea what they're talking about either. I guess we should be glad that the W3C (and some other groups) are responsible for creating the standards and not Congress. Also, thanks for fixing my broken HTML. Somehow I forgot the closing " on the href attribute.

A thing that bugs me is when users search Yahoo! for "google" or search Google for "yahoo". I think browsers also added search into their address bars because so many users would type in search queries into them. Then there's my parents and other old people who don't understand tabbed browsing and open entire new browser windows for each new web page. Lol, as long as their happy I guess.

Anyways, reminds me of some of the stories on this site. Also, another thing that kind of bugs me is that nobody can seem to understand the address bar - they instead go ahead and load a search engine, type in the URL, search for it, then click on the website from there.

"totally awesome marketing agency with super cool audio effects on their home page" Um... do I detect sarcasm?

Anyways, congratulations on finally getting rid of that burden - especially considering the apparent state of the housing market. I hope that (top secret job) at (top secret location) goes well for you. You deserve a lucky break after all the trouble that life's been causing you, especially considering how skilled you are.

Kevin, if you view my stylesheet and scroll down a bit you'll need to copy these selectors: .code { } ol .code { } .code li { } .code { } .code li:before { }

Totally agree witth the above post! I have one question though; How do I get the code blocks to look like yours? I know somewhere between nothing to very little about coding, but I am one hell of a copy-paster.

Looks really great. By the way, is there any way we could store the data in database dynamically?

It's a good plugin, and I've found it useful so far, but it is a bit dangerous. For instance, classes that are in hidden divs (to be revealed on a JavaScript click, for example) show as being unused. I've also seen other cases of it reporting a declaration unused, when in fact it is used. It's good, but as they say, caveat emptor. I'll also check out this Dust-Me.

Thanks for the code, I changed it a bit to have a minimum position from the top the window, because I wanted content to start at the vertical center of a page, but if the window height is smaller it should stay at 250px from top. Now the code looks like this, I commented it for explanation: (function (jQuery) { jQuery.fn.vAlign = function() { return this.each(function(i){ var pct = 50; // vertical alignment percentage jQuery(this).css("top", pct + "%"); // Reset position to standard var md = 250; // minimum position in pixels from top var ctr = 0; // 0: start content from middle // 1: center content in the middle var h = jQuery(this).height(); var oh = jQuery(this).outerHeight(); var mt = (h + (oh - h)) / 2; var os = jQuery(this).position(); if (ctr == 1) { jQuery(this).css("margin-top", "-" + mt + "px"); var md = md + mt; } if (os.top > md) { jQuery(this).css("top", pct + "%"); } else { jQuery(this).css("top", md + "px"); } jQuery(this).css("position", "absolute"); }); }; })(jQuery); To initiate use: jQuery(document).ready(function() { jQuery("#container").vAlign(); }); jQuery(window).resize(function() { jQuery("#container").vAlign(); }); Works for me in FF, will check IE soon.

Yeah, but that doesn't change the fact that this is a HoW (Hack of Win).

Oh, hey, just stumbled on an easier solution. Click Friends in the left menu. A sub-menu appears that says Status Updates. There you go. BTW, I do hate the new design.

Wow, clever hack, but way beyond what your average Facebook user wants to go through :)

Agree w/Rob Brown (comment #2) ... without the ability to scan an entire domain, the addon falls short. (Instead, will look at Dust-Me.

Look forward to getting this to work. I always use Firebug, so this would be great, yet, after installing new version, nothing has changed, no new features.

I've been using Dust-Me, which is another Firefox extension, for years. IMO its the best around and, unlike this one, it can check an entire site. It was released by Sitepoint and can be found at http://www.sitepoint.com/dustmeselectors/

Looks like a really good plugin, which is exactly the kind of thing I need on one of my sites as I was about to go through all the selectors manually (there's a lot there that doesn't need to be).

Nice find, afraid it's pretty useless though unless it can scan a whole site :(
