Why have I not posted anything new in the past 11 days? Could it be my new subscription to Netflix? Possibly. But I recently did something kind of cool using my new found JavaScript skills.

Next to the date of each blog entry there is a little < image. This image is linked to a URL that can be used to link directly to a particular blog entry. I believe the term for this sorta thing is "permalink".

Well, before today, when you clicked on the link your browser would go to the new URL, and then you could copy the URL out of the address bar on your web browser, well now with my JS enhancement when you click on the image you get a little confirmation window that asks you if you want the URL to be automatically copied into your clipboard.

The script also degrades nicely for browsers that don't support the clipboard functionality (read: all non-IE browsers) giving them a popup window with the URL displayed for them to copy.
