    SELECT * FROM table
    WHERE created_on in
    (select DISTINCT max(created_on) from table
    GROUP BY YEAR(created_on), MONTH(created_on))

    You first need to group by year and month (otherwise you'd be filtering out months in other years). Use MAX() to get the greatest date for each group.

    SELECT *, MAX(created_on) FROM table
    GROUP BY YEAR(created_on), MONTH(created_on)

    Assuming that there is only one record for the day;

    SELECT * from table where created_on IN (Select MAX(created_on) FROM table
    GROUP BY YEAR(created_on), MONTH(created_on) )

    Building off Dheer's answer:

    SELECT r.*
    FROM table AS r
    JOIN (
    SELECT MAX(t.created_on) AS created_on
    FROM table AS t
    GROUP BY YEAR(t.created_on), MONTH(t.created_on)
    ) AS x USING (created_on)


    Be sure you have indexes on created_on, otherwise this query will kill your database if that table gets more than a couple hundred rows.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

By User
I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

By User
The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome.
