Move Images using Javascript
Next javascript code shows how you can move images around the page.
Compatibility: Mozilla, Opera, Chrome, Safari
Code:
var curElement;
function doMouseMove(e)
{
var newleft = 0, newTop = 0;
curElement.style.position = "absolute";
if((e.which == 1) && (curElement != null))
{
newleft = e.screenX - (curElement.offsetWidth/2);
curElement.style.left = newleft + "px";
newtop = e.screenY - (curElement.offsetHeight/2);
curElement.style.top = newtop + "px";
}
}
function doDragStart(e)
{
// Don't do default drag operation.
if ("IMG" == e.target.tagName)
{
e.returnValue = false;
}
}
function doMouseDown(e)
{
if ((e.which == 1) && (e.target.tagName == "IMG"))
{
curElement = e.target;
}
}
function dropElem()
{
curElement = null;
}
document.ondragstart = doDragStart;
document.onmousedown = doMouseDown;
document.onmousemove = doMouseMove;
document.onmouseup = dropElem;
To expirement with it create an HTML document and put the code in the head element, the body element must contains at least one img element, good luck.
offsetLeft - offsetTop Properties
Value: integer
Compatibility: WinIE4+, MacIE4+, Moz1+, Safari1+
The offsetTop and offsetLeft properties are valuable in providing pixel coordinates of an element within the positioning context of the parent element even when the elements are not positioned explicitly. The element used as a coordinate context for these properties is whatever element the offsetParent property returns. This means that to determine the precise position of any element you may have to add some code that iterates through the offsetParent hierarchy until that property returns null.
Note: The offsetLeft and offsetTop properties for positioned elements in MacIE do not return the same values as the style.left and style.top properties of the same element.
offsetHeight - offsetWidth Properties
Value: integer
Compatibility: WinIE4+, MacIE4+, Moz1+, Safari1+
These properties report the height and width of any element, for a normal block-level element whose height and width are not specified the offsetHeight is determined by the actual height of the content after all text flows. But the offsetWidth always extends the full width of the containing element. For example , a p element consisting of only a few words may report a offsetwidth of many of hundreds of pixels because the p block extends the full width of the body element that represents the containing parent of the p element. To find out the actual width of text within a full-width block-level element wrap the text within an inline element (span) and inspect the offsetWidth property of the span.

Caching Output
High-traffic sites can often benefit from caching of pages, to save processing of the same data over and over again.
Put the first function cache_start in the beginning of php script and the second cache_end in the end of script.
Code:
function cache_start($_time, $dir)
{
$cachefile = $dir.'/'.sha1($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']).'.html';
$cachetime = $_time;
ob_start();
if(file_exists($cachefile) && (time( )-$cachetime < filemtime($cachefile)))
{
include($cachefile);
ob_end_flush();
exit;
}
}
//——————————————–
function cache_end($dir)
{
$cachefile = $dir.'/'.sha1($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']).'.html';
$fp = fopen($cachefile, 'w');
fwrite($fp, ob_get_contents());
fclose($fp);
ob_end_flush();
}
//————————————–
$_time : cache time
$dir : directory to cache files
Catching Keywords from Search Engines
With this class we try to catch some keywords from google, yahoo and bing search engines.
Code:
<?php class keywords { private $referer; private $_e; public $keywords; public function __construct() { if($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) { if(preg_match("#\.google|search\.yahoo|\.bing#", $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) { $this->referer = urldecode($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']); } else { return; } } else { return; } } private function getSeparators() { $this->_e = (preg_match("#\?q=|\?p=#", $this->referer)) ? "\?" : "&"; } public function getKeywords() { if(!empty($this->referer)) { $this->getSeparators(); //google if(preg_match("#\.google#", $this->referer)) { $m_ = preg_match("#{$this->_e}q=(.+?)&#si", $this->referer, $this->keywords); if($m_ == 0) { return false; } } //yahoo elseif(preg_match("#search\.yahoo#", $this->referer)) { $m_ = preg_match("#{$this->_e}p=(.+?)\&#si", $this->referer, $this->keywords); if($m_ == 0) { return false; } } //bing elseif(preg_match("#\.bing#", $this->referer)) { $m_ = preg_match("#{$this->_e}q=(.+?)\&#si", $this->referer, $this->keywords); if($m_ == 0) { return false; } } else { return false; } return $this->keywords[1]; } else { return false; } } } ?>
Save this script as keywords_class.php
Now let’s try to print these keywords.
Code:
<?php require_once('keywords_class.php'); $keywordsObj = new keywords(); $keys = $keywordsObj->getKeywords(); if($keys) { print $keys; } else { print "ooops"; } ?>
Save this code as index.php
nodeValue
Value: number, string, null
Compatibility: WinIE5+, MacIE5+, Moz1+, Safari1+
Of the node types implemented in the W3C DOM - capable browsers, only the text and attribute types have readable values. An element’s node value returns a null value. For an attribute node the nodeValue property consists of the value assigned to that attribute. As an example, nodeValue can be used to increase the width of a textarea object.
function increaseCols(elem)
{
var colWidth = parseInt(elem.attributes["cols"].nodeValue, 10);
elem.attributes["cols"].nodeValue = (colWidth * 1.1); }
As another example you can replace the text of an element:
function replace(elem, newtxt)
{
if(elem.childNodes.length == 1 && elem.firstChild.nodeType == 3)
{
elem.firstChild.nodeValue = newtxt;
}
}
The function makes one final verification that the element contains one child node and that it is a text type.

Drag - Drop Lists
This code uses an open source drag - drop library from Tool-Man to create drag-drop lists. Download and unpack the drag-drop libraries onto your server.
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Drag - Drop Lists</title>
<style>
#cities li {margin:0px;}
ul.box li {margin:3px;}
ul.sortable li {position:relative;}
ul.box
{
list-style-type:none;
padding:0px;
margin:2px;
width:20em;
font-size:13px;
font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}
ul.box li
{
cursor:move;
padding:2px 2px;
border:1px solid #cccccc;
background:#eee;
}
.clickable a
{
display:block;
text-decoration:none;
cursor:pointer;
cursor:hand;
}
clickable li:hover
{

Save the code as display.php.
nodeName Property
Value: string
Compatibility: WinIE5+, MacIE5+, Moz1+, Safari1+
For HTML and XML elements the name of a node is the same as the tag name. The value is an all-uppercase string of the tag name.
Some nodes such as the text content of an element do not have a tag, the nodeName property is a special value: #text.
The following example demonstrates one way to assing a new class name to every p element in an IE5+ document:
function setPClasses(className)
{
for(var i = 0; i < document.all.length; i++)
{
if(document.all[i].nodeName == "P")
{
document.all[i].className = "className";
}
}
}

nextSibling - previousSibling Properties
Value: Object reference
Compatibility: WinIE5+, MacIE5+, Moz1+, Safari1+
A sibling node is one at the same nested level as another node in the hierarchy of an HTML document. The following p element has tow child nodes (the i and b elements), those tow child nodes are siblings of each other.
<p>Ramones is <i>the</i> best <b>rock’n'roll</b> band.</p>
The i node has not previousSibling property, the b node has not nextSibling prorerty (return null).
The following example assings the same class name to all child nodes of an element:
function setChildClasses(parentElem, className)
{
var childElem = parentElem.firstChild;
while(childElem.nextSibling)
{
childElem.className = className;
childElem = childElem.nextSibling;
}
}

}
/* Pad the value with enough 0's to make it a multiple of 5 */

}
return $outString;
}
