Let your visitors choose colors for your pages

Maybe you enjoy using bright pink backgrounds for your web pages. Are you sure your visitors can appreciate it? Why not let them choose the background color, or any other document color, for your pages?

The basic idea here is to use JavaScript to change the background color using the following command ("#FFFFFF" being the hex representation of the color we want):

document.bgColor = '#FFFFFF';

If you like the idea, you can have what you see in the above example simply by inserting the following tags in to your page:

<form name="test" method="post"><br /><br /> <input type="button"<br /> OnClick="document.bgColor = '#FFFFFF';"<br /> value="White"><br /><br /> <input type="button"<br /> OnClick="document.bgColor = '#00FFFF';"<br /> value="Cyan"><br /><br /> <input type="button"<br /> OnClick="document.bgColor = '#FF00FF';"<br /> value="Purple"><br /><br /> <input type="button"<br /> OnClick="document.bgColor = '#FFFF00';"<br /> value="Yellow"><br /><br /></form><br />

To change the color of the text instead, replace bgColor with fgColor. Using linkColor will make the above script change the color of the links and vlinkColor will change the color of the visited links.

You can find the hex representation of all web safe colors in this

How to get a list of people on the IRC who are using your ISP

You can use the "WHO" command with wild cards to find out if anyone using your Internet Service Provider is online (using IRC -- Internet Relay Chat).

* Connect to the Internet and then connect to your IRC server.
* Type

/WHO

followed by a space, *. (star and a period), and the domain name of your ISP. For example, if your ISP's domain name is gulf.net, type:

/WHO *.gulf.net
* Press ENTER.

Where you have to enter the "WHO" command (and other IRC commands) will depend on the IRC client you're using. If you're using MIRC for example, you can enter the "/WHO" command at any prompt.

Redirecting your visitors to the preferred form of your URL using JavaScript

Do you have multiple entrances to your site and looking for a client-side solution that can redirect your visitors to the preferred entrance?

For example, you may have multiple domain names pointing to the same site -- domain_a.com, domain_b.com and domain_c.com. Although you want to keep all of your domains either because you want to reserve those names, because your marketing department convinced you that having multiple names pointing to the same site will attract more visitors or some other reason, you may prefer that the visitors end up at the same domain. You may want to redirect visitors from domain_b.com and domain_c.com to domain_a.com for example.

Following is a client-side solution to redirecting visitors to your preferred domain. Simply copy and paste it on to your home page just below the tag.

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><br /><!-- <br />if( -1 == location.href.<br /> toLowerCase().<br /> indexOf('domain_a.com') )<br />{<br /> location.href = 'http://domain_a.com';<br />}<br />// --><br /></script>

Above code will check if domain_a.com is a part of the current URL. If not, it will automatically redirect the visitor to http://domain_a.com. One of the advantages is that this code will work even if you have a single version of your home page that has multiple domain names pointing to it.

Of course you can modify the same code to redirect to a specific page URL as well.

NOTE: Be sure to use only the required portion of your URL and to enter it in lowercase inside the function "indexOf()". If your complete URL is http://www.mycompany.com/mypage.html, but you can get to the same page using just mycompany.com/mypage.html, use the latter version of the URL. On the other hand, use the full URL for location.href.

The following code will redirect visitors to http://www.mycompany.com/mypage.html only if mycompany.com/mypage.html is not a part of the URL they typed:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><br /><!-- <br />if( -1 == location.href.<br /> toLowerCase().<br /> indexOf('mycompany.com/mypage.html') )<br />{<br /> location.href = <br /> 'http://www.mycompany.com/mypage.html';<br />}<br />// --><br /></script><br />

If you run your own web server, have unique IP addresses for your multiple domains or your web space provider is able to redirect visitors otherwise, you maybe able to implement a server-side solution to redirect visitors instead.

Adding page breaks to your web pages

Almost all printable document types can handle author specified page breaks. Wondering how to add page breaks to your web pages?



Starting with the release of Cascading Style Sheets 2 specification, you can finally suggest to browsers when to break pages when printing your web pages. The bad news is that only Explorer 4.x support this feature at this time. On the other hand, adding page break tags to web pages will not cause any ill effects on other browsers.



To suggest a page break, add &ltP style="page-break-before: always"> before the beginning of a new printed page. For example, if you place the following tags on a HTML page and print it using a compatible browser, you will end-up with three pages with the sample text.

<br /><br /><html> <body>This is the text for page <br /><br />#1.<p style="page-break-before: always">Page <br /><br />#2...<p style="page-break-before: always">Page <br /><br />#3...</body> </html>

Papers: Evra's Euro warning

Patrice in Euro warning
Patrice Evra says it will be a catastrophe if Manchester United fail to beat Lyon in the Champions League last-16 second leg tomorrow. But the France star insists they cannot take for granted a place in the last eight despite snatching a 1-1 draw away from home in the first leg. He said: “If we go out of the Champions League on Tuesday it would be a massive blow for the club — it would be catastrophic. I have a big respect for Lyon because they are a good team. As a Frenchman, I am fully aware of their qualities.
They played very well in the first game and we had to work very hard for a draw. But we are Manchester United and that means we simply have to go through."
Mark Irwin, The Sun

In other news, the Daily Mail claims United have been contacted by the agents of Racing Santander defender Ezequiel Garay. Santander would sell Garay — especially if Gerard Pique is involved in the deal.

The Times report that noses have been put out of joint at the FA with the news that Lord Coe, the chairman of the London 2012 Olympic organising committee, has approached Sir Alex Ferguson to manage the Great Britain football team at the Games.

Juninho: Don't rule us out

Brazilian playmaker Juninho has warned United: "do not rule us out" of the Champions League last 16 tie, despite the Reds snatching a crucial late goal in the first leg.

The French champions are in Manchester on Tuesday with the tie tipped slightly in United's favour after Carlos Tevez's goal earned a 1-1 draw in Lyon two weeks ago.

Lyon appeared headed for victory after Karim Benzema's excellent opening strike just before the hour mark. But Juninho says the Reds would be ill-advised to think the second leg is cut and dry.

"We were disappointed not to win after taking the lead," he tells United Review. "But we knew that, along with Inter Milan, Manchester United were the best team in Europe and have many players who can do you damage.

"Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez – what an attacking line-up! Against a team like United, you have to play perfectly. We nearly did it – but not quite. But the Lyon squad is still calm. The pressure is on United to progress to the quarter finals."

Lyon have been used to battling against the odds in this season's Champions League. After a terrible start to their group campaign, they pulled out all the stops to progress to the knockout stages, a lesson Juninho says could serve them well at Old Trafford.

"We are still in this tie," he says defiantly. "Do not rule us out yet. You need technique and strong characters to win silverware and we have those. We have proved a number of times our capacity to achieve in big matches at stadiums in Glasgow, Stuttgart and Paris."

5. Scroll down to the "Scripting" section.
6. Now set "Active Scripting" to "Disable".

8. Click "OK" and close the tools window.

Note: If this tweak causes some problem while surfing some sites, you'll have to turn that setting back to "Enable". This is because generally javascripts enhances a website.

Report: N'castle 1 United 5

Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo both scored twice as United closed the gap on Arsenal at the top with an emphatic victory at St James’ Park.

Buoyed by news of the Gunners’ 2-2 draw at Birmingham earlier in the day, the Reds dominated from start to finish to record their second convincing win over Newcastle in as many months.

Ronaldo set up Rooney for the opener before the Portugal winger bagged his 28th and 29th goals of the season to put United out of sight.

Abdoulaye Faye pulled one back but Rooney’s superb second and a late strike from substitute Louis Saha left Newcastle still searching for their first win since Kevin Keegan returned to the club.

Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson, mindful of the need to keep his squad fresh as they chase three trophies, made four changes to his starting line-up after the midweek draw in Lyon.

In came Nani, Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick and Carlos Tevez for Anderson, Paul Scholes, Owen Hargreaves and Ryan Giggs, with the latter two not even on the bench.

Keegan’s men had conceded 11 goals in four games coming into the match and United threatened to open them up at will early on.

Carrick made a marauding run through the middle and played in Rooney on the right of the box, but the striker failed to pick out one of his team-mates with his pulled-back cross.

Password Recovery Disk

Take preventive measures against losing user-level passwords.

It doesn't matter if you never again remember a Windows user password. Thanks to XP's Forgotten Password Wizard, your conscience will be free and clear -- should your mind happen to accidentally misplace your user password.

I highly suggest you create a password recovery disk the minute you create your user account. Why? In order to create a password recovery disk you're going to need your password. Write it down the minute you create your user account and then proceed to creating your very own password recovery disk.

Here's how to launch the Forgotten Password Wizard:

Single-click Start menu, Control Panel, and User Accounts.
Click your user account name.
Under Related Tasks on the left, click "Prevent forgotten password" to launch the wizard.

Now that you've launched the wizard, let it walk you through creating the recovery disk. Make sure the disk you use is formatted and in the drive. After it's finished creating the disk, label it and stash it away for an emergency.


If you happen to forget your password, all you need to do is click your user icon at the logon screen. Even though you don't have your password, go ahead and click the green arrow just like you would to finish logging on to your computer. This will launch a little yellow dialog box directing you to use your password recovery disk.
