$("#map").width() == bigWidth ?
 $("#map").fadeOut(300).fadeIn(300).fadeOut(300).fadeIn(300).animate({ height: 400, width: 400 }) :
 $("#map").fadeOut(300).fadeIn(300).fadeOut(300).fadeIn(300).animate({ height: 400, width: 800 });

Javascript padding

 function pad(str, character, max, side, visibility) {
  str = str.toString();
  console.log('inside pad: '+str);
  var pad;
  var output;
  pad='';
  for (var i=str.length;i<max;i++ ) {
       pad = pad + character;
  }
  pad="<span style='visibility:"+ visibility + "'>" + pad + "</span>";
  side=='left'?  output=pad+str : output=str+pad ;
  return output;
 }

input=$('#serialnumber').text(); 
$('#serialnumber').html(  pad( input, 'F', 16, 'right', 'hidden')  );

GIT Merge Tool : Very Basic

#!/usr/bin/env bash
git branch -vvv;
echo "intergration branch:"
read int

echo "search string is: $regex"
for i in `git log -$1 --decorate --pretty=tformat:'%h %d %an %ar %s' --source --all -i -G $regex | cut -d" " -f1`;
do
 echo $i
 git show $i
done
exit

Javascript: If undefined or null or string length equals zero return false

function checkExists(myVar) {

 if (typeof myVar === 'undefined')  { return false;  }
 if ( myVar === null )      { return false;  }
 if ( myVar.length == 0)            { return false; }
