I have a number of affiliate links in my page. The affiliate links are generated dynamically and so, I don't know the number of affiliate links generated in the current page. I had a requirement to open all affiliate links simultaneously upon clicking on a search all link in my page. Initially, I was not aware of the jQuery each function. So, I placed all the affiliate links in a particular div and used the size function to get the number of 'a' tags inside that div and used a 'for loop' to iterate through the 'a' tags and applied the behavior. However, after that I found there is an each function in jQuery, which can be used to itereate through all the elements with a particular identity.

One another advantage of this function is that this will create the destination folder if it does not already exist.

Sometimes we may want to find all unused contributed modules in our site to clean up and all. In that case instead of manually checking all the modules from the sites/all/modules folder we can take it from the database system table.
We may want to find these unused contributed modules list to physically remove them from the sites/all/modules folder. But before removing them we have to make sure that none of its sub modules are currently using. So in order to find out the unused modules list we can do the following three steps.
