micah1701 / required-fields-validation.js
Created April 5, 2016 06:06
Super simple script to enforce required fields in form. Just add a "required" attribute to the tag. If its blank, it adds some bootstrap error classes to the parent form-group container. Also validates e-mail fields.
var invalid_fields = 0; //global var can be accessed without calling function
function validate()
{
invalid_fields = 0; // reset counter
$("[required]").each(function(){
var val = $(this).val();
if(val == "" || val == null || val.match('/select/i'))
{

Last active August 29, 2015 14:08
Bookmarklet to view content behind the registration walls on Tribune newspaper sites, like chicagotribune.com and the Hartford Courant. To use, simply create a new bookmark in Chrome and set the minified version of the below code as the "URL." Then click the bookmark whenever you encounter a modal popup that asks you to register or log in. Note:…
javascript: void((function(d) {
var modalblock = document.getElementById("reg-overlay");
modalblock.parentElement.removeChild(modalblock);
var style = document.createElement('style');
style.type = 'text/css';
style.innerHTML = 'body,html { overflow: auto !important; }';
d.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(style);
})(document));
