If you've ever done any scripting using the Mootools library that ships with Joomla, perhaps you've come across a situation where you needed to prevent a link from following it's assigned location. Mootools has a function for Events called 'stop', but it is not extended to Events in 1.11. So how do you stop the link from following it's href?

There's a really cool site at konamicodesites.com that lists a whole bunch of sites that have easter eggs if you type a certain pattern while visiting. That pattern is the famous Konami Code. It lists some pretty large sites, like Facebook and Digg.

I went ahead and wrote a quick little bit of JavaScript that implements this functionality. It's loaded into the site you're looking at right now!

Some of you may have noticed the box at the bottom of the screen that keeps track of the page's vertical position. I wrote this in Mootools to sort of mimic some command line Linux tools like "less", "more", and "man".

Valid XHTML Strict doesn't support the 'target' tag for links, but some webmasters (me included) don't like the idea of having external links draw our visitors away, possibly to never return. That's why the 'target' tag is great - external links can open new windows (or tabs, browser willing), right?
