It is possible to remove the "Buy this book" link from the Google’s Book Search feature.  You must contact Google support and ask them to remove "third party Buy links" for your URL.  You also need to add this to your Book Search code:

<script>GBS_setViewerOptions({showLinkChrome: false});</script>

directly following:

<script src="http://books.google.com/books/previewlib.js"></script>

When a Flash animation layers itself over the top of another web element like a menu, and you need it to appear beneath, use this:

<div STYLE="z-index: 0; position:relative"> FLASH HERE</div>

I often have a whole bunch of Outlook emails open and want to close them quickly.  This seems like a very basic task that almost anyone would want to accomplish without having to click the little box in the corner of the window.  After trying Esc, Ctrl-W and all the other standard ways that 99.99% of software developers use to do this taks I tried MS Outlook’s help.  Of course it was totally unhelpful and is always the case I found the solution on the website of a humanoid.

The keyboard shortcut to close open email windows in Outlook is ALT-F4.

I have never had so much fun reading a computer book.  The writing is entertaining, sometimes downright funny and the explanations are clear and elegant. 

More practically, I use this book all the time.  It has explanations for most basic CSS situations and solutions for many of the problems CSS designers run into.  I’ve tried a number of books and this one is by far my favorite.

Create a new field that will convert the numeric field into a string:
