IE7 z-index issues

If you have z-index issues, particularly with drop down menus in IE7 this conditional script may help.

<!--[if IE 7]>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		$(document).ready(function(){
			$(function() {
				var zIndexNumber = 1000;
				$('div').each(function() {
					$(this).css('zIndex', zIndexNumber);
					zIndexNumber -= 10;
				});
			});
		})
	</script>

Add Google Analytics To A WordPress Site

Paste the following code into your functions.php file replacing the UA-xxxxxxxx-x code with your Google Analytics code.

function googleanalytics(){
?>
<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxxx-x']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

</script>

<?php
}
add_action('wp_head', 'googleanalytics', 100);

Force Files To Download Instead Of Open In Web Browser

You can change the file directivies for a folder by adding a .htaccess file in the folder and including the following code:

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
<FilesMatch "\.(?i:mp3|ogg)$">
      ForceType application/octet-stream
      Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

This will force .mp3 and .ogg files to prompt for action rather than open with the default browser setting. The IfModule condition is recommended as it will prevent an error message if the Apache headers module is not installed.
