Javascript popups

The "target" attribute in links is now only used for pages using framesets (reference), so how do you pop up a new browser window for links you want to have people navigate to without leaving your page?

Using the current W3 standard for anchor tags anchor tags can be given a rel attribute that describes what relation the linked-to page has to this current page. It also provides a standard list of available relationships. Many other groups added to this list and there are many widely-used values for the rel tag, including "external".

With this method, give links to be made popups a rel attribute of "external", and include the following file in the head of the document.

ASCII encoding container

Representing binary data as Hex numbers has been a standard for a while, but using only sixteen printable characters when there's many more "safe" ASCII characters possible has lead to other sorts of numbering systems. This class allows you to define your own "number" progression and encode/decode integers through it. The Radix of the conversion used is the length of the string passed to the class, making it very customizable. Several standard character sets (many from RFC 4648) are included, or pass your own custom character string.

This implementation uses the BC Math PHP extension if it's installed to convert very large integers successfully.

<?php
// Hex to Base64
echo radix_convert(Radix::HEX_UPPER, Radix::DECIMAL, 'FF')."\n";

// Hex test
