Douglas Crockford is a good speaker. Some of the things in his book are
clearly wrong. The lint tool has way too much subjectivity baked in,
reporting errors for perfectly valid EcmaScript programs, and still
calls FunctionDeclaration a function statement.
In his presentations, Crockford has explained some closure patterns. I

"offset" is a prefix for three nasty properties and one good property.
The nasties are: offsetLeft, offsetTop, and offsetParent. The one good
one is offsetWidth.
Those are defined in CSSOM Views, and, depending on the version of that
document, you'll get completely different definitions for the bad ones.

Not without a parameter value to replace the `%s' :)
That said, this one is a fairly simple bookmarklet; they can be written
differently (and I have done so) so that they use a default value or the

Sorry, I was referring to TB. I didn't download that other thing.

I know that. I pasted it into the Web browser's address bar, which
AFAIK, should have worked.
Ah, I never bother with them, so I am ignorant of the mechanics
involved. I thought they were basically just javascript: links bookmarked.
No idea.
Right. I was getting tired of messing with GG though.
Thanks. The first was the JSLint oddity I mentioned. The second is a

Clicking the secondary mouse button (on Mac: Ctrl+Click) should show a
context menu containing "Search Msg-ID" > "Google Groups". But it is
possible that you have to insert `/search' in the resulting URI, as
described, for this to work, because Google changed their Advanced Search
interface. The author has not released a new version yet, not even one

No, bookmarklets are for your *Web* *browser*. You need to create a
bookmark with the above value as URI and give it a keyword. Then type the
keyword and the parameter (`%s' is replaced with the parameter when you use

And speaking of Usenet/Google mysteries. How is it that some people
have their names in the post totals, while others have email addresses?
I remember looking at the message source from people in each group, but
couldn't spot any likely discrepancies. I've noticed that, like
everything about GG, the behavior switches from time to time (sometimes

Pasting the news: link into Chrome opened a new TB instance, popped up
an empty Identity dialog (which I canceled) and then did nothing. I
give up. :)

I have no idea what it was doing. Clicking the links appeared to be a noop.

That is getting all fouled up in TB, as well as GG. I tried to piece it
back together, but kept getting Google server errors. Can you just post
a GG (http) link?

Unlikely. Try with <[link]> or, to be even more on-
topic (Mnenhy is probably written in JavaScript), the following bookmarklet
(remove the "news:" from the parameter or change the code):
javascript:window.location="[link]"+"%s".replace(/^<(news:)?|

Just saw that they changed their search URI (and broken the old one in the
process, so much for competence), so use:
javascript:window.location="[link]"+"%s".replace(/^<(news:)?|

Thanks, but TB doesn't seem to like those. Probably confused by so many
different FF versions installed beside it.
The thing is, he switched it a year or two back to list window itself as
an implied global, even when assuming a browser, which certainly makes
no sense. He should forget about host objects.
