<?php

       if (isDomainAvailible('https://css-tricks.com'))
       {
               echo "Up and running!";
       }
       else
       {
               echo "Woops, nothing found there.";
       }

       //returns true, if domain is availible, false if not
       

try {
 document.execCommand("BackgroundImageCache", false, true);
} catch(err) {}

This snippet will display the latest post in a specified FeedBurner feed. Just set the URL to your desired FeedBurner feed.

$(document).ready(function(){
       $.ajax({
               type: "GET",
               url: "http://feeds.feedburner.com/examplefeed",
               success: function(data){
                       $("#date").text($(data).find("item:first>pubDate:first").text());
                       $("#title").html("<a href='"+$(data).find("item:first>link:first").text()+"'>"+$(data).find("item:first>title:first").text()+"</a>");
                       $("#description").html($(data).find("item:first>description:first").text());
               }
       });
});

This example assumes that …

Hey! Before you go too far down the rabbit hole of JavaScript-based smooth scrolling, know that there is a native CSS feature for this: scroll-behavior.

html {
  scroll-behavior: smooth;
}

And before you reach for a library like jQuery …

Displays a selected chunk of an image. In the example provided, the upper left 100px x 100px are shown.

<?php

$filename= "test.jpg";
list($w, $h, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($filename);
$src_im = imagecreatefromjpeg($filename);

$src_x = '0';   // begin x
$src_y = '0';   

Here’s the basic principal behind spiders.

$html = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com');

$dom = new DOMDocument();
@$dom->loadHTML($html);

// grab all the on the page
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
$hrefs = $xpath->evaluate("/html/body//a");

for ($i = 0; $i < $hrefs->length; $i++) {
       $href = $hrefs->item($i);
       

Dotted borders around links are an accessibility feature most browsers have by default. It’s for users who must or choose to navigate by keyboard, there is a visual style applied to those links when “tabbed” to. These borders also show …

@media print {
  a::after{
    content: " (" attr(href) ") ";
  }
}

Find mistakes in HTML and highlight the crap out of them.

/* Empty Elements */
div:empty, span:empty, li:empty, p:empty, td:empty, th:empty
{ padding: 20px; border: 5px dotted yellow !important; }

/* Empty Attributes */
*[alt=""], *[title=""], *[class=""], *[id=""], a[href=""], a[href="#"]

Very easy way to preload images which are needed later (e.g. when a hover is performed)

$.preloadImages = function() {
  for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
    $("<img />").attr("src", arguments[i]);
  }
}

$.preloadImages("hoverimage1.jpg","hoverimage2.jpg");
