As of this writing the Textile module is not available for Drupal 6. The latest current downloadable version is for Drupal 5.x.

Rather than downloading a full tar or gz file, there is a patch available. Drupal 6 Patch. Here’s how to do it. Works for Linux and Mac

• Download Textile for Drupal 5 in the official releases area
• Extract the file. It should be textile
• Go to Textile for Drupal 6 patch page
• download the attachments into your textile dir (3 files)

• Patch the files (cd into your textile dir)

patch textile.info < textile.info_.6.patch
patch textile.install < textile.install.6.patch
patch textile.module < textile.module.6.patch

Damn Google App Engine always wants me to do a software update. There are no options to disable the feature and they update the damn thing just about every day. I found some instructions on how to disable Google’s annoying auto update agent. Go to hell auto-updater!

Long story short — look for this file then delete it.

~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.google.keystone.agent.plist

If you want to keep the file follow the instruction on the guy’s website.

The google software update agent

I wanted have a HTML table where toggle the visibility of its rows (TR elements) using display:block. This is wrong. You need to use display:table-row.

Without using the table-row property, the TR will not have the proper column widths. This is a problem when using Firefox or other Gecko-based browser.

Improper vs. Improper way to hide or show a TR element using javascript.

Sample Table

<table>

<tr id="showme" style="display:none">
    <td>I am in a row</td>

</tr>

</table>

test = document.getElementById("showme");
test.style.display = ‘block’; //wrong
test.style.display = ‘table-row’; //correct
