SyntaxHighlighter 3.0.83 after AJAX call "Can't find brush for: BRUSH" fix
After implementing pagination on my website, I was not able to highlight the code with SyntaxHighliter plugin. After AJAX call script was throwing an error: "Can't find brush for: BRUSH". After little research I found reported bug and temporary solution...
This fix is works for me and I think it can be helpful to share with others this experience. I made this fix in plugin source code, combine shCore.js, shAutoloader.js and XRegExp.js files into one, minify and compress it with YUICompressor.

External links in new window using jQuery

My experience shows that one's of important files that search engines trying to get are robots.txt and favicon.ico.
