That guns my engines. I'm delighted to have affected your work in a positive way. Thanks for the comment. I know I often miss solutions that lie in existing functions already present in an application. The browser has many hidden jewels just waiting to be discovered. Avinash,

Actually I wrote a code to bookmark my page for Firefox and after bookmark it was opening in the sidebar. My QA raised a bug for this and I was unaware about this feature of firefox of "Load this bookmark in sidebar" and so I was struggling to find a solution. Its looks really stupid thing that i didn't noticed that in firefox ;) Thanks Avinash Hi Fill,

Yes, illustrations do indeed help us all no matter our technical experience. It seems like a simple but too often overlooked thing to capture images to reinforce an idea. Tech-oriented tutorials really lend themselves to it. I'll keep keeping-on w/ the visuals. Random, Thanks for the feedback.

What's especially great is, that they are accompanied by a visual representation, for somewhat-technologically-challenged people like me! Thanks I just did that for Facebook…I love your tips!

It's how I access just about everything -- including feeds I can't put on netvibes...It's so cool how when I scroll over one site's feed, another window opens with a ton of their latest entires. It makes everything so easy! I love my firefox toolbar.

It will then create the fav icon. Then return to properties and recheck. Worked for most except GoogleTalk and Gmail.

Don't miss the refresh button at the bottom of the page.
