]]> Mozilla Firefox is my no. 1 web browser and I also must to admit that it is the most used application on my desktop. I’m using it on daily basis and as I like to do things fast and in a comfortable way I’m using keyboard shortcuts. I thought that they could help to many of my readers too, so I’d love to share them with you:

  1. Ctrl+T [open a new tab]
  2. Ctrl+W [close current tab]
  3. Alt+D [go to address bar]Mozilla Firefox logo
  4. Ctrl+K [go to search bar]
  5. Ctrl+Shift+T [reopen the latest closed tab]
  6. Ctrl+F [search the page]
  7. Ctrl++ or Ctrl+- [increase/decrease text size]
  8. F5 [refresh (reload) page]
  9. Alt+Home [go to homepage]
  10. Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab (or Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown) [go to the next/previous tab]

The order of shortcuts is random as I’m using them also randomly, but those are my most used keyboard shortcuts in Firefox.

What cool (productive|killer|hidden|whatever) shortcuts do you use? Share them with us in the comments!

]]> JavaScript is recently very popular scripting language. It powers the most popular Web 2.0 applications with a combination of web development technique called AJAX.

However, if you thought that JavaScript can be used only by web developers I must defeat you. Below this paragraph you will find 2 snippets of JavaScript code that you can just copy and paste to your browser address bar and you will see the power of Math and JavaScript.

But before I show you the snippets do the following:

  1. Open some web page with images e.g. http://images.google.com
  2. Search for whatever you like e.g. hacks
  3. Copy and paste one of the following snippets:
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.mkssddddddddddd=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);

or

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);

As you can see there can be much of fun with this 1 line of code. You can also freely modify the it and discover some other cool image motions. Please share them with us!

]]> A new IE6 bug was discovered by a Japanese blogger called Hamachiya2. He found out a combination of CSS and HTML code that can totally crash IE6:

<style>*{position:relative}</style><table><input></table>

Here you can find a live preview. (it works without problems in Mozilla Firefox and other good browsers)

For me it is just another one confirmation how buggy Internet Explorer really is. Not mention a tens if not hundreds of other well known CSS bugs.

If you are still using Internet Explorer 6 I highly recommend you to use a better browser like Mozilla Firefox, Opera or at least Internet Explorer 7.
