I recently added a Flickr Badge to the header of my blog and really loved everything about it except that... there was no way to have it open the photos in a new window when they were clicked. Because the code was written by Flickr I had no way to modify it before it was created, but I did afterwards. Here is the code Flickr gave me to add the badge to my site minus some extra "fluff" code that I've removed for the sake of shortening this post:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" id="flickr_badge_wrapper">
<tr>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.flickr.com/badge_code_v2.gne..."></script>
</tr>
</table>

So, I simply wrote a script that would loop back through all of the links within the table "flickr_badge_wrapper" and change their "target" property to "_blank". Here is the code.

<script>
<!--
var oFlickrTable = document.getElementById("flickr_badge_wrapper");
oFlickrBadgePhotos = oFlickrTable.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (nBadgePhoto = 0; nBadgePhoto < oFlickrBadgePhotos.length; nBadgePhoto++) {
oFlickrBadgePhotos[nBadgePhoto].target = "_blank";
}
//-->
</script>

Feel free to use this code yourself, just be sure that if you've renamed "flickr_badge_wrapper" (or Flickr changed the name by the time you read this article) that you update my code. Enjoy!

  

FYI

On–Screen Keyboard is a utility that displays a virtual keyboard on the computer screen that allows people with mobility impairments to type data by using a pointing device or joystick. Besides providing a minimum level of functionality for some people with mobility impairments, On–Screen Keyboard can also help people who do not know how to type.

On–screen Keyboard has three typing modes you can use to type data:

• In clicking mode, you can select the on-screen keys to type text.
• In scanning mode, On-Screen Keyboard continually scans the keyboard and highlights areas where you can type keyboard characters by pressing a hot key or by using a switch–input device.
• In hovering mode, you use a mouse or joystick to point to a key for a predefined period of time, and the selected character is typed automatically.

In On–Screen Keyboard you can also:

• View an enhanced keyboard that includes the numeric keypad, or a standard keyboard that does not include a numeric keypad.
• Display the keyboard with the keys in the standard layout, or in a block layout in which the keys are arranged in rectangular blocks. Block layout is especially useful in scanning mode.
• Display the U.S. standard keyboard (101 keys), the universal keyboard (102 keys), or a keyboard (106 keys) with additional Japanese language characters.
• Use Click Sound to add an audible click when you select a key.
• Use Always On Top to keep your keyboard displayed on your screen when you switch programs or windows.

  

  

Classic Andy & future frontrunner for me to read and/or roll the video tape when the time comes...

Andy Botwin: [to Shane about masturbation] Alright, listen closely. I'm not going to beat around the bush. Ha ha ha. Your little body's changing - it's all good, believe me. Problem now is... every time we jerk the gerkin, we get a lot of unwanted sticky white stuff everywhere, right? Right. So... First order of business - no more socks. They're expensive, gumming up the works plumming-wise. Now you might be thinking to yourself, "But, Uncle Andy, what do I do with all that pearl jam if I can't spew it into Mr. Sock?" Glad you asked... You can have a lovely time tugging the tiger in the shower each morning - that eliminates the need for a goo glove. But, the day is long, masturbation's fun, so unless we want to take 4 or 5 showers every day, we're gonna need some other options. So let's start with the basics. Tissues. Perfectly acceptable backstop for all that Creamy Italian. They can be rough and dry on such soft, sensitive skin and it can stick to your dick head like a fuckin' band-aid - ouch. From there we move on to more lubricated flack-catchers - specificially, bananas. Step one: Peel the banana. Step two: Slip the peel over your Randy Johnson and start pitching. Now for extra credit, warm up the peel in the microwave. Not too hot! Serious yowza. Also, olive oil, moisturizer, honey, spit, butter, hair conditioner, and Vaseline can all be used for lube. In my opinion, the best lube... is lube. So save your allowance and invest in some soon. Alright, moving on - when you tug your Thomas on the toilet - ffft - shoot right into the bowl. In bed - soft t-shirt, perhaps a downy hand towel of your very own that you don't mind tossing after tossing. There's no such thing as polishing the raised scepter of love too much. It reduces stress, it enhances immune function. Also, practice makes perfect. So work on your control now, while you're a solo artist - you'll be playing some long, happy duets in the future. Ok - class dismissed.

[Shane gets up to walk away]

Andy Botwin: Hey!

[tosses Shane a banana]

Andy Botwin: Homework.

Track Santa via YouTube, Google Earth, Google Maps, and now Twitter. Link, blockquote, and sound bite (above) via NORADsanta.org...

For more than 50 years, NORAD and its predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) have tracked Santa’s Christmas Eve flight.

The tradition began in 1955 after a Colorado Springs-based Sears Roebuck & Co. advertisement for children to call Santa misprinted the telephone number. Instead of reaching Santa, the phone number put kids through to the CONAD Commander-in-Chief's operations "hotline." The Director of Operations at the time, Colonel Harry Shoup, had his staff check radar for indications of Santa making his way south from the North Pole. Children who called were given updates on his location, and a tradition was born.
