Firefox / Mozilla printing bug

It may be common knowledge that Mozilla based browser cut off floated elements that span more than one page when printing but what you may not now is that elements (at least the parent) must have relative positioning declared as well if they span over one page. So to be on the safe when writing your print style sheets, use float: none; and position:relative; on your containing element(s).

Get the index number of an element

Heres a little gem I found at :
http://forums.htmlhelp.com/lofiversion/index.php/t746.html

This short little javascript allows you to detect / retrieve / get the index number of an element. Which can defiantly be useful in a number of different applications.

var p=document.getElementsByTagName('p');
for(var i=0; i
{
p[i].pnum=i;
p[i].onclick=function()
{
alert(this.pnum);
}
}

getElementsByClass

Heres a little piece of JavaScript I found at :
http://javascript.about.com/library/bldom08.htm

I'm sure it can be of use to someone else out there. This coded creates your own getElementsByClass method which is not built into javascript.

document.getElementsByClassName = function(cl) {
var retnode = [];
var myclass = new RegExp('\\b'+cl+'\\b');
var elem = this.getElementsByTagName('*');
for (var i = 0; i <>
var classes = elem[i].className;
if (myclass.test(classes)) retnode.push(elem[i]);
}
return retnode;
};

The Flash Tattoo Factory

Finally got around to updating the Tattoo Factory on my web site:
Chicago Web Site Design
I improved some of the functionality and added a couple of features feel free to play around with it and let me know what you think.

Thunderbird 2.0

New program that I must recommend to any and everyone is Thunderbird 2.o portable edition. Add the webmail, lighting, and minimize to tray extensions and in my opinion you have the best email client there is.
