How long does it take to drive through Riga city ?

I must say that this is not a story about THIS. My approach was more realistic and much safer :)I took my car to drive through city Riga from one city border to another simply to check how much time do i need to get through this city within legal limits.

Get current SharePoint User with JavaScript

During the SharePoint form customization in many cases it is important to know the current user. So with JavaScript and SharePoint Designer this is how it's done:

var loginElement = document.getElementById("zz7_Menu").innerHTML;
var end = loginElement.indexOf("<");
var nameOnly = loginElement.substring(8, end);

note: I use this script in MOSS2007, but if you use this in WSS3 change "zz7_Menu" to "zz6_Menu".

My whole point using this script was to get the current username (in my case organization username format is: username14, username57 etc.) And based on that I need to get only numbers from this username. So there is my complete solution:

var loginElement = document.getElementById("zz7_Menu").innerHTML;
var end = loginElement.indexOf("<");
var nameOnly = loginElement.substring(8, end);
var number = nameOnly.replace (/[^\d]/g, "");
var k;

if (number != "") {
var elements = document.getElementsByTagName('select');
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
if (elements[i].title == 'YOUR DROPDOWN TITLE'){
var sel = elements[i].options.selectedIndex = number;
for (k=elements[i].options.length-1;k>=0;k--) {
if (k != sel) {
elements[i].remove(k);
        }
      }
    }
  }
