HTML-CSS Highlighting ALL of the TEXT Including the Whitespace and NOT the Entire Cell

Why? Say you want to display a rating - four stars, but how do you indicate that the rating is not the highest? Exactly, so you want that whitespace at the end!


<td><span>**** </span></td>

And the CSS :

span {
  background-color : yellow;
  white-space : pre;
  font-family : "courier";
}

How Should You Put Your Text in a Box?

Image
Per the great bloggers, it helps your cause to put your message in a box But, how? I mean, easily? :) Do it once (use these steps, which I got from chatGPT) and, once you have a blog that you can look at in edit mode, you can always cut and paste. Go into Edit HTML mode. If necessary, use a tool like freeformatter.com to make the HTML that your blogging platform creates for you readable (with indentation, etc). Now, locate the text you want to enclose in a box and surround it with : <div style="border: 2px solid COLOR_OF_CHOICE; padding: 10px;"><p><span style="font-family: FONT_OF_CHOICE;"> and </span></p> </div> NOTE : With very little text, you may benefit from adding : display: inline-block; max-width: max-content; //within the style setting For chatGPT: (click to select) When I say 'FORMAT,COLOR,WIDTH,PAD:', followed by some text, please generate HTML tags that ...

Click to Copy with Toast and No Alert Pop Up (thanks chatGPT and Sam Altman)

Click to Copy with a Toast Message (No Alert) Here’s how you can display code like the one below: hiSetBindKey("Schematics" " F5" "hiDeiconifyWindow(window(1)) && hiRaiseWindow(window(1))") ...and allow users to: Click the code to copy it to clipboard See a small toast saying Copied! next to the label All without triggering an alert box 🔧 Full HTML + CSS + JS (Paste in a blog post) This version is safe even with quotes and parentheses — it programmatically sets the text to avoid HTML escaping issues. <style> .copy-container { position: relative; margin: 1.5em 0; } .copy-label { font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0.4em; } .copy-text { display: inline-block; padding: 0.5em 0.8em; border: 1px solid #ccc; background: #f4f4f4; font-family: monospace; white-space: pre-wrap; cursor: pointer; user-select: none; transition: background 0.2s ease; } .copy-text:h...

A Web Interface to Try Dual Key Caesar Cipher Encryption and Decryption

https://frontendkaizen.blogspot.com/2022/03/dual-key-caesar-cipher.html Give it a try. If it looks less pretty than it could, it's because I don't know how to hack Blogger well enough 😊 If you Google "decode caesar cipher", you get to : https://www.dcode.fr/caesar-cipher https://www.boxentriq.com/code-breaking/caesar-cipher https://www.thewordfinder.com/caesar-cipher-solver/ All of which are okay for a single key - for encoding. One of them probably does true solving in the sense of finding the best candidate after brute force searching. But none does true code-breaking by looking at character frequency (unless they do😊). But what about two keys?!! There wasn't anything online (for decrypting that is. The dcode site does do encryption, but is really hard to use) Until now :) Give it a try :  https://frontendkaizen.blogspot.com/2022/03/dual-key-caesar-cipher.html Kudos to Tamer Abd Alrazaq for porting the java to javascript and getting it to work in the blink of ...
