In IE5 and IE6 the transparancy in PNG images won't happen at all, so this would fix it. This might come really useful while we are in the era of switching to better standard-friendly browsers.

Based on the linked SitePoint article but with options to limit the container (eg body copy) and set the target. Use '_blank' for a new window for each link. Also adds a class (based on the rel value) for styling. Call the 'relWindow' on window load.

Usage of the getNextElement function. Very basic usage to pick out the h1 tags, then change the properties of the next element(not node).
1 873 posted 17 years ago by 1man
Useful function for CSS DOM, returns the next element after the selected node. So you could style the element directly after a h1 element for example.

Not really relevant to anybody else. Full unobtrusive js file for a simple gallery. From DOM Scripting by Jeremy Keith (superb book, highly recommend it for anyone looking to move into DOM scripting)

Vert useful function since there isn't an insertAfter function in the DOM. Call it inside scripts, it expects insertAfter(*the new element to be inserted*, *the element you want it to be inserted after*);
