<p><img alt="Sokoban" src="/files/sokoban-skins.png" /></p> <p>Every now and then I get contacted by people interested in my Sokoban clones, or some aspect of them. Often it is <a href="http://borgar.net/programs/sokoban/">the levels</a> and/or how to parse them, but often it is the graphics.</p> <p>Since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokoban">Sokoban</a> is a popular game to program, I figured I could help aspiring ...</p>

<p>I spent hours getting this to work so I thought it best to share it, esp. since so many others seem to be having the <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=_jpeg_resync_to_restart">_jpeg_resync_to_restart error</a>.

<p><a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors">jQuery</a> (or <a href="http://sizzlejs.com/">Sizzle</a>) supports <code>:target</code> in browsers where it runs <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/selectors-api/">querySelectorAll</a> to handle the work. In older browsers, it doesn't offer fallback support. I guess that this is simply because <code>:target</code> is such an uncommon selector?</p> <p>I have no idea why you would want to use it, but because ...</p>

<p>A few days without internet do strange things to a computer addict.
