twelve popular wikis

clipped from www.makeuseof.com

We all love wikipedia: it’s comprehensive, 100% user-edited (aka wiki-style), up-to-date, rather objective, and totally free. It’s a perfect wiki-powered system. While it’s by far the most popular one, it’s not the only wiki-style website that ‘works’. There are plenty of other successful wikis, focused on specific areas i.e, book summaries, cooking, HowTo’s and even ‘bullshit’. So, here you go, popular wikis that have something to offer.

(1) Wikipedia - all-favorite, biggest online encyclopedia
(2) WikiTravel - world-wide travel guide, covers destination guides, hotels and resorts
(3) WikiHow - ‘How-To’ manuals for the problems of everyday life. (‘HowTo’s: Hack a Coke Machine, Get Six Pack Abs, How to choose a Debt Management program, etc.)
(4) WikiBooks - huge collection of user-edited, open-content textbooks and guides. (Textbooks: Chess guide, Learn French … )
(5) CookBookWiki - recipes and cooking related wiki. Sections include: dishes, recipes, cuisines and channels

How to deselect all the selection in a select ( combo ) box?

In a HTML page sometimes we may have to deslect all the selection in a select control of html. but as a user we can't do anything. But using Javascript programatically we can achieve this. Here is the sample code in Javascript. function clearSelect( selectObj ){ for (var i = 0; i < selectObj .options.length; i++) { selectObj .options[i].selected = false; } } note: we need to pass the select object as a parameter to this function. the alternative to this code is function clearSelect( selectObj ){ selectObj.selectedIndex = -1; }
