If you have more than one monitor and switch their placement around, you may find that when that app is started, it is shown outside the monitor's visible area.

There are 2 ways to make it come back to the visible area:
  1. Using the 'move' option
    Use Alt-Tab to select the app
    press Alt-space, M and then use the left/right keys to bring it into view
  2. Use this neat little utility, called borderline

jQuery helps overcome IE's brain-dead behaviour...again!

This is one is short and sharp.

If you've ever tried to use someArray.indexOf(somevalue) in Internet Embarrassment, you'll have discovered that Microsoft's pathetic excuse for a browser is, well, just that!

jQuery.inArray(value, Array) or
$.inArray(value, Array)
Short and sweet.

ps: You could just use Firefox or any of the other self-respecting browsers...
