Guerilla-coder Javascript filter: Rather than wait 12-18 months to get my project idea into my company's queue, I'm trying to find a workaround. It's going to be ugly. It's going to be messy. And I have no idea how to do it.
Bottom line: My company's web portal has a top frame that I can control, and a bottom frame controlled by Web IT. Can I add an event listener to the top frame that will watch the bottom frame and excecute when it's done loading?

Two webcoding questions:
1) What is the web coding name for hiding/revealing text without reloading a page? For instance,
on this page you can see "Continue Reading" and "Hide this News Article" as
toggles. They appear to be doing it with javascript. What is this
called and are there simple free coding samples available for me to
use? 2) Are there any free plugins that I can use on a blog to play
audio samples? Something similar to what's used in MuFi or Wordpress's
audio streamer, but without needing Wordpress. Thanks!

I need to send a link in an email which on the other end will create a favourite in in the recipients IE. I've googled around this and found lots of resources on adding a favourite from a website but they all seem to assume the recipient is on the right page already. I'm using Outlook 2007 if it's relevant.
(Bit dull as a question I know but I've been wrestling with this all morning)

Flash gurus, HTML developers and XP know-it-alls: I need your help! Flash, framesets and IE8 are not getting along at all. A framed site using Flash works on my desktop, where I still have IE6 running on XP SP3, but not on my XP SP3 laptop with IE8. Whether or not I can make it work in IE8, I still need to demo this site on something that works. If I can't make this work by noon Tuesday, I'm going to have to use my restore disks to return my laptop to its original XP Pro condition so I can at least use IE6 on it. Help me figure out a way to avoid a complete restore in the short run and make this work on IE8 in the long run!

I spent a month labouring away on a website only to somehow delete it before emptying the trashcan. Yes, I know. Pathetic. It's been a week, however, and I'm seriously thinking of going to the expense of having it professionally retrieved. I know deleted photos can usually be retrieved - which is good because I really need them - but what are my chances of being able to get back
properly formatted .html pages? Or formatted in such a way that I can at least try and restore them to their former glory.

Is it better to have links open in a new window, or to open in the same window? Maybe this belongs in
projects, but I'll ask here. When I launched my magazine site in January, I had links opening in a new window. But then, I noticed that the sites I liked the most, like
Kottke and
Metafilter, didn't do this. Instead of opening a new window they had links go straight to the page they were linking to.
