New Front Page In Progress. sweatdrop
I just realised that this is the front page for 1.
Which be nothing at all like two.

AutoText!
This product was designed especially with the Gaians who have complex typing preferances in mind. Yes, I'm talking about the people who'se messages look like this:
Now, looking at the code shown below, this is a pritty hefty chunk of formatting to be typing out each time. (And also a b***h to copy-paste.)
Now, I had built myself a little PHP version of this before, that had more complex features, but less flexability. When telling someone about it, they said that they would love to have something like that.
So, I built one in JavaScript, that had customiseable inputs.
However, it didn't save the preferances, which was a bugger.
So I wrote in some cookie functions.
And now, you have the AutoText module! whee
Simply, this module loads a popup, in which you type your message.
Then you either restore the tags you saved earlyer, or type in some new ones.
The 'Auto' button is pressed, and the begining tags are placed at the begining, and the end tags at the end!
So you need never type out your formatting more than once! 4laugh
This script can either be run from your computer, or from it's website.
The link to download AutoText is here.
(The zip file contains the files, but not a folder. It is sugested that you suply your own, if you want one.)
The link to the online version is here.(This site opens a popup window. The popup window is the AutoText module. Please turn of any popup blockers before accessing the site. )
Thanks to:
Mr. Perks
A thankyou to Mr. Perks, a teacher at my school, for giving me the Macromedia Sute. whee
The guys at Teh Jellowship
My thanks to you guys, for letting me hang out in your guild, even though I had nothing to do with the original purpous, and for inspiring me.
You guys rock. heart
FAQ
Q. Will this harm my computer?
A. While it's good that you're wary of downloading things, I can promise you that this can do NOTHING to your computer. smile
Q. You said something about cookies. I heard something about cookies being huge security risks! eek
A. Actually, this is completely untrue. While some cookies can track your progress around the net, they arn't dangerous. And in any case, my cookies are limited to my script. smile So they can't hurt you.
Q. I'm suspitious. Why would you do this, and then give it away for free? What do you gain from this? stare
A. It's true, I don't benifit from this. But I like helping people. And the satisfaction of knowing that people benifit from my sacrafice makes it worth it. It's the same reason why I donate to some quests.
Q. You donate to quests? eek Will you donate to mine, plzzz!!!
A. I'm afraid not. I donate to random people, and usually only if they don't ask. In fact, asking or begging me is the one way to make sure I won't donate to you. confused
Q. Did you write this post with your module?
A. To tell the truth, no. The level of formatting I used in this would need the next version that I'm going to bring out some time in this year, which has much more advanced options.
Q. More advanced options? What do you mean?!
A. Well, that's a secret. wink But rest assured, it will be out before '06. (Probably.)
Q. Help! It doesn't work!
A. Which part? If you're using Internet Explorer, chances are, it's blocked the 'Active Content'. A yellow bar should have aperaed. Click 'Allow Blocked Content'. smile
Q. You seem to know a lot about programming. How old are you?
A. Not telling. wink But I'm under 25. smile
Q. I see you have a rotating sig. Did you write that?
A. Why yes. I did.
Q. Why? There are plenty of other rotating signatures around!
A. I wanted one that did exactly what I wanted. I could include a unique link for each image, if I wanted to. Now, can we get back to the AutoText module?
Q. Is that all the questions you're going to do for now?
A. Yes. I've run out of questions. razz
