jQuery plugin: showKeyPressed

jQuery plugin: showKeyPressed

This plugin allows you to show the user the characters typed (temporarily) in a password field. The following would run on any password fields with the secure class.

Usage: $(":password.secure").showKeyPressed();

function flushThis(id){
   var msie = 'Microsoft Internet Explorer';
   var tmp = 0;
   var elementOnShow = document.getElementById(id);
   if (navigator.appName == msie){
      tmp = elementOnShow.parentNode.offsetTop  +  'px';
   }else{
      tmp = elementOnShow.offsetTop;
   }
}


Element.addMethods({
  redraw: function(element){
    element = $(element);
    var n = document.createTextNode(' ');
    element.appendChild(n);
    (function(){n.parentNode.removeChild(n)}).defer();

});

You may also use some kind of addClass/removeClass combo. That would result into the same effect but without creating unused DOM elements. We use this method in qooxdoo and it works well.

Non-8dot3 format of a Windows path

I was trying to find out to get the non-8dot3 format of a Windows path to a file, and found this blog post that said at the bottom of the page:

1. start -> run: cmd

2. go to desired folder, i.e. cd "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Applications"

3. type command.com you'll get command prompt like C:\DOCUME~1\ALLUSE~1\STARTM~1\APPLIC~1>

Runner up: dir /x
