Using accesskeys for previous/next

I happened to read http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2004-02-24-023-26-OP-CY-DV-0100 wherein it was said that accesskeys for previous or next is as follows: 1. Mozilla/Netscape: Ctrl+Alt+P or Ctrl+Alt+N 2. IE: Alt+P or Alt+N, then press RETURN But I always prefer using, ALT + right arrow for moving to the next screen and ALT + left arrow for moving to the previous screen in IE

Closing the parent window ...

Many times I have been asked how to close a parent window without getting that ugly warning dialogbox. You know what the solution is pretty straight forward :) Script of the Parent window: <html>  <head>   <Script language=""javaScript"">    window.opener=self;    window.close();    window.open('test.htm','Test','fullscreen');   </script>  </head>  <body>  </body> </html> Here 'Test' is a name of the window. You can give any name of your choice there. 'test.htm' is the name of the file which would be opened in fullscreen. This way we could avoid that ugly warning dialogbox.

Sometime back I happened to check the George Hernandez's site http://www.georgehernandez.com/. In one of his page I found an error in his code snippet. I sent him a note on the same with a code snippet which could be used instead. George has reviewed it and has responed back: Vadivel: Hey thanks a lot for the correction. I updated my page with your suggestion and credited you for it. http://www.georgehernandez.com/xDatabases/SQL/Programming/HandyCode.htm#Get%20info%20about%20columns%20in%20all%20databases%20in%20a%20server -George
