how to create a chrome desktop shortcut

how to create app shortcut  .. that is from chrome.  This creates the shortcut but removes the url bar and buttons.

To get all that back do the following...

1. After you created your shortcut.
2. Right click on the icon you created on your desktop and select properties.
3. In the target part find "--app=http://...." and REMOVE only "--app=".  Press apply and ok.

Now clicking the icon will open your website in the chrome browser

OR

1. bookmark the page.
2. open the bookmark manager.
3. locate the website, then drag and drop the icon to your desktop.

However this way doesn't pull the nice favico image.

ways to save.. car rental website

So I tried this site to rent a car autoslash for my Florida trip.  For an economy car 5-6 day rental from Payless Car Rental the reserved price was $103 but when we picked up the car the price became $250.

Now why is that?  Well we added car insurance ($100) and "no fill up on return" option ($50).  The "no fill up" extra cost was probably not necessary because in Florida gas stations all have different prices.  And the gas quoted price from Payless was more.

it's not personal... (saving embedded images from outlook)

Answer: click on the message then File > Save as (.html)

better answer:  have them send you the file.

jquery selectors ... more investigation

I still don't have a very good grasp on selectors in html, javascript and css.  I'm getting there though.  

With the updates in jquery, the library has also depreciated some of there functions (like one niffy one I discovered: live).  The live event allows functions to work even when parts of the page is loaded dynamically.  This is simple way of doing things (answering a lot of my issues) but it slow things down because it looks for the event in the entire document!

answer: use ".on()" (eg, $('#parent').on("click", "#child", function() {}); )

css learning -- more selectors!

How little I know... but now that can be changed! http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp

css learning - adjacent sibling selector

I was looking to do this " can-you-apply-a-css-hover-effect-to-an-element-thats-not-a-child-of-the-hovered ".  BUT I also wanted to do the reverse of this (ie, hover the 2nd element and something happens to first...)
I found it's not possible, as ordering is important.  So I used jquery :)
