More than tree years after what you wrote, and your code remains not only useful, but one of the best solutions while searching of the topic

I have a question (maybe not as simple as it sounds): Could i (and how you’d propose i should do it) use your code for acronyms?

I need to pass an array of words to be searched, and another (with the same key) with the explanation of the acronym – for example, every use of the word MIT should bring MIT Any ideas?

Hi Matteo, thanks for notifying me about the bug – I’d tried to trim the code down to the minimum for didactic purposes, but in so doing, broke it for multi-line contentEditables – It was failing to take empty lines into account when performing the stack-based save and restore methods. The solution is simply to track the line number of the selection as well as its position within the text. I’ve updated the code with a fix for Chrome, but it seems Chrome and Firefox handle linebreaks within ContentEditables differently – Chrome treats new lines as separate divs, whereas Firefox is inserting br elements. I will correct the code for cross-browser support shortly.

Congratulations for your work. Just a notice. I am testing the code with Firefox, and I am experiencing a bug, I suppose. I mean, after I erase a line by deleting char by char, the caret doesn’t go to the end of the previous line, but to the beginning of text. It seems that saveSelection function returns {start: 0, end: 0} without running the while block.
Do you know why? I am not able to find the reason, please need your help

Excellent post. Thank you, just what I needed to implement simple on the fly syntax highlighting without using a heavy library.

These are not new problems. There are oodles of publications on gamification, what it achieves and what its weaknesses are.. too many to summarize here! I remember spending months on the Hibernate forums, harvesting votes for my answers. I see that the voting system there is now gone!

In SO, it works to an extent, though it’s hugely flawed. And since it’s a self-moderating system, there has to be some way to prove you’re a trusted user.

To get to 3k productively, the trick is to manage your favourite tags well. There are many genuinely interesting questions there. They’re just not in the vanilla php, javascript, c# or java tags. Start following quieter tags where you can help, and you’ll get points soon enough.

In the mean time, you’ve got enough rep for voting down and reviewing first posts. These are valuable tools to help keep the SNR down.

Comment on ActionScript 3.0 TextField Style and Event gotchas by joem

Thanks for the post. I don’t know actionscript very well and had just been struggling with your gotcha #2, then I found this post.

It might be worth mentioning that if you handle the Event.CHANGE event, you’ll also need to change textInputCapture’s argument type to be Event instead of TextEvent, in order for Adobe’s example to work.

I know that probably goes without saying for most actionscript folks, but if you’re a beginner like me and you’re tripping over this stuff, maybe it’ll help.

Thanks for this! I wasted lots of time on my fresh Fedora 17 install trying to figure out why my onboard NIC was now named ‘p34p1′. This naming scheme is _retarded_ if you ask me…

I wasted like 1/2 a day on this and felt your pain!
Thanks a bunch for sharing this — I went through the same problem on a Fedora 17 install on a soekris net6501 with 6 total enet interfaces. You can read about my adventure in this in my Fedoraforum post here:

If you are using Fedora 17, you can try my approach. I hope this helps someone else and saves some time!
