Tips & Tricks post

This message is from another board and I have been meaning to post it here.

When a long link gets posted in the forum, the forum software often stretches all the text on that page out so you have to scroll sideways to read the posts.

This little workaround from the firefox forum will let you click a bookmark & get all the words wrapped to where you can see them as usual:

Go to bookmarks> manage bookmarks> "new bookmark"

Now copy this script into "location" & name it something like "wrap"

Code:

javascript:(function() { var D = document; F(D.body); function F(n) { var u, r, c, x; if (n.nodeType == 3) { u = n.data.search(/\S{45}/); if (u >= 0) { r = n.splitText(u + 45); n.parentNode.insertBefore(D.createElement('wbr'), r); } } else if ((n.tagName != 'STYLE') && (n.tagName != 'SCRIPT')) { for (c = 0; x = n.childNodes[c]; ++c) { F(x); } } } D.body.innerHTML += ' '; })();

Now when you come to a thread that runs off to the right of the page, just click the link in your bookmarks & in a few seconds, no more side to side scrolling
