I recently faced the interesting task of CSS-selecting an ID that looked like this:
\"ws_widget\"
What is that monster? It is an ID with a slash AND a quote in it.
Here is what the CSS rule looks like:
#\\\"ws_widget\\\"{
position:relative;
}
There is a slash to escape the first slash, and another slash to escape the quote.
If you only had slashes in your ID, like the following:
\my_id\
the proper CSS selection would look like this:
#\\my_id\\ {}
After the recent changes to Google Reader I wanted to subscribe to a new blog and spent about 10 frustrating minutes looking around the interface to find a subscribe button. I eventually ended up pressing random letters on my keyboard, knowing that one of them would open the subscription dialogue box. It happened to be the letter 'A'.
Today I found out that the subscription link can be found by hovering your mouse over 'Subscriptions', which reveals a downward arrow on the far right, pressing this arrow opens a menu, and at the bottom of this menu there is an 'Add new subscription' link.
Quick instructions: Press 'A' on your keyboard, or hover your mouse over Subscriptions->Press the downward arrow on the far right->Click on the 'Add new subscription' link.
If you open a window (such as the calculator, Notepad, or Explorer), you can use the window's edge as a guide to align elements (pretty useful in web design if you don't want to use anything fancy).
What makes this technique especially helpful is that while dragging the window, you can press the Ctrl key, then use the arrow keys to shift the guide pixel by pixel.
var json = JSON.stringify(stuff); //like normal var key = 'sham='; //this can be any string--followed by the equal sign var finaloutput = key+json;
if(param()) {
my $json = param('sham'); #sham is the string you chose as the key
}
xor:say (1 xor 0)
Shift + P. (i.e. press the P key while holding down the shift key)Shift + K, rather than Shift + <, since the latter types something that doesn't look like a proper Arabic comma.
