Santa brought me a new laptop for Christmas, and while I'm in the process of transferring files from my old box to my new, I've begun uncovering lots of treasures. To start off the New Year, here's a selection from my collection of digital "Post-It" Notes. Enjoy:
Play An Audio Clip OnMouseOver
Ever wish you could have some hot chick purring "Cum In"
when a surfer hovered over your "Enter" link (or any
of a hundred other cool uses)? Here's the code:
<A
href="#" onMouseOver="document.all.music.src='sound.wav'">TEXT
or IMAGE</A>
<BGSOUND src="#" id=music loop=1 autostart="true">
Status Bar Masking OnMouseOver
Here's a trick that many newbies want to know how to do, even
though most uses of it will be considered "blind linking"
and may cause problems with sponsors and link lists, etc. Just
add this code within your linking code:
onmouseout="self.status='';return
true"
onmouseover="self.status='DESIRED
TEXT';return true"
Launch Multiple OnClick Events
Sometimes you wish to fire multiple JavaScripts using a single
event handler. One example is using a button to launch a new window
while simultaneously changing (or NOT changing) the launching
page. There are lots of cool applications for this, and here's
a handy snippet of the underlying code to help you along your
way. Put this first part in your <HEAD>:
<SCRIPT
language="Javascript"> onclick="window.open('http://new-window-url.com',
'_blank', onclick="window.open('http://base-window-url.com',
'_self')"
}
//
MULTI LOAD -->
function
MultiFuncs() {
'toolbar=yes,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes')"
</SCRIPT>
Then add this part to the button, text, or image link you wish to use:
OnClick="MultiFuncs()"
Hotlinking
Protection With .htaccess
To prevent content theft on Apache Webservers with mod_rewrite,
make a secure content directory then put all your images and other
content you wish to protect into that directory, ensuring that
all of your image URLs point to this location. Then make an ".htaccess"
file for this directory that contains:
AuthUserFile
/dev/null RewriteEngine
On
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.yourdomain.com/subdomain/
[NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yourdomain.com/subdomain/
[NC]
RewriteRule /* http://www.yourdomain.com/subdomain/ [R,L]
Change the domain name values to match your site, then upload this file in ASCII mode into the directory you wish to protect. Calls for content in that directory that come from OUTSIDE the URLs specified above will be redirected to the URL specified.
My Favorite Script Sources
Here's a bookmark collection that shows locations for finding
just about any script you wish to have, and quite a few you probably
didn't know existed, but may want to have later :)
- CGI Resource
- EarthWeb JavaScripts
- Free Code
- Hot Scripts
- JavaScript Source
- Matt's Script Archive
- Perl Archive
- PHP Builder's Snippet Library
- PHP Resource Index
- Script Search
Well there you have it: a few choice JavaScripts to spice up your pages, a quick bit of code to protect those pages, and a directory of all things scripting. Here's to a "dynamic" New Year!
