Resize, restore, have fun

User JavaScript can be used for many purposes, including enhancing Web pages. To enable for User JavaScript you need to specify the path to a folder on your computer where these files are stored ("Preferences" > "Adavanced" > "Content" > "JavaScript Options" > "User JavaScript files").

To learn more about User JavaScript, please check out the tutorial on opera.com.

Anyway, let's get on with today's treats: Two User JavaScripts made by xErath. He wants us to meet the siblings: "power-drag" and "power-meeno". They complement each other, one being more complete, while the other is broadly usable. Both scripts started out from the simple desire of resizing textareas easily (like CSS3 UI).

Power-drag

Should probably be called "awesome script"? This script allows you to hover textareas, select boxes, iframes, objects, images or input fields to resize them by dragging its lower right corner with the SHIFT key (illustration). A very simple, clean and efficient script. You can double click the resize area to restore original dimensions.

Download power-drag.

Power-meenoo

This script adds a small menu which can be toggled by pressing ALT while hovering text (illustraton). The menu has many options, and the script is localizable (currently translated into English, Portuguese and Polish (credits to Wasacz).

Download power-meenoo.

Both scripts work great with blogging on My Opera.

Updates to the scripts will be done in xErath's blog post. The download links posted here will always be the most recent updated ones.

Kudos Chas4 for making us aware of these scripts.
