Some interesting information about getting the value of tabindex with JavaScript:
http://www.fluidproject.org/pipermail/fluid-work/2007-December/001129.html
Especially, IE returns 0 when tabindex is not set, making it indistinguishable from where tabindex is set to 0.

An HTML form contains more than what meets the eye. This bookmarklet displays information about form fields in the page. When there are multiple forms on the page, successive invocations of the bookmarklet display each form in turn. Add this link to your bookmarks.
Here's the code:

<body>

As a web developer, a lot of times I need to see the cookies in a page (and copy the value to another test program, sometimes). This is a bookmarklet to display the cookies. You may directly add this link to your bookmarks and name it "show cookies". It doesn't work in IE6 because of the JavaScript length limitations . However, you may try putting the script on a web server and importing it to the bookmarklet.

You can use applet , object , or embed tags to embed an applet in your HTML page. However, The applet tag is interpreted by both IE and Mozilla family of browsers. The applet tag won't automatically download a JRE if the Java Plug-in isn't already installed. The object tag works only for IE The embed tag works only for Mozilla family of browsers, i.e., Firefox. Use applet tag:
<applet code="MyApplet.class" width="200" ... Use object tag: <!-- latest JRE --> <OBJECT classid="clsid:... Use embed tag: <!-- highest JRE that supports MIME type ... Mixed object and embed tag: <object classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9... You need to use a different name for the Mozilla embed tag and use that name to refer to the applet...

The scriptable attribute defaults to false . However, even when you set it to true , there is a time delay between when the applet is loaded and when it becomes scriptable . The following code may fail:

Your code will be syntax highlighted when you specify the language of your code with the BBcode code tag:
[code=lang] Your code here [/code]
where "lang" is the language of your code. For example, the following Perl code
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hello World!\n";
is rendered with:
[code=perl]
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hel...
The following are supported languages and their corresponding names for BBcode:
Apache conf: apacheconf, aconf, apache
Bash...
The full list is available from http://pygments.org/ , which is our backend engine for syntax highlight rendering.

When a page is in a standalone window, window.focus() brings that page to the front. With tabbed browsing (in either IE, or Firefox), a popup window may be opened in a new tab. In that case, window.focus() has no effect. For testing purposes, this is the parent page:
<html> <body> <script language="JavaScript"... and the popup page: <html> <body> <h2>The Popup</h2> </body>... I haven't found a solution to this when the popup is displayed in a tab. However, you can configure the browser so that it displays popups in a new window instead of a new tab. For IE, open up " Internet Options ", on the general tab under the " Tabs " section, click " Settings ". Under "When a popup is encountered", check...

Simply put, you can't. There are various hacks to get what you want, but none of them is 100% satisfactory: Disable caching:

Maybe a better question to ask is why you want to disable the back button. A lot of users use the back button because it is convenient and they are used to it.
