Labs: UI inlineEdit
After my last tutorial on building a simple inlineEdit plugin I converted the concepts into a UI widget. It’s now sitting in labs for you to use, pick apart and devour: http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/branches/labs/inlineedit/demo.html If you inspect the source code you will notice the structure is quite different. It’s actually pretty much the same functionality wise but [...]
Tip: Obtaining Request Parameters in Zend_View
I found it virtually impossible to obtain GET or POST request parameters in Zend_View without resorting to accessing the $_GET or $_POST variables. Directly accessing these variables within Zend_View is bad practice so it’s been suppressed on purpose to keep processing where it should be – within the Controller. However it is possible to get [...]
jQuery Inline Edit tutorial
A friend recently asked me to review his edit-in-place code which turned out to be a modification of the one found at http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Edit_in_Place_with_Ajax. Reading the tutorial on that page I asked myself how I would do this differently? Defining a global setClickable() function and then calling $(‘#editInPlace”).click() is totally uncool, essentially limiting yourself to one [...]
jQuery UI Spinner update
Sorry for no news these past few months. It’s been very hectic since the new family addition back in Dec which I managed to keep low key. I feel so guilty now for neglecting this blog and my readers (don’t think I have any regulars anyway so I guess nothing missed!), but hey priorities are [...]
jQuery UI 1.7 released
Today marks the release of jQuery UI 1.6 1.7. Kudos to UI team members who’ve done a fantastic job! I’m pretty excited not only because I’m now part of this fantastic team but also with where UI is headed and how it has progressed thus far. UI is still pretty young compared to other UI [...]
Cross browser equal height that works
Note: This article was first posted to the Lemon Digital Blog. Since its dawn, CSS has been plagued with the lack of a bullet proof technic to produce equal height columns, boxes and grids. The fortunate few have been able to avoid this problem by “designing for the Web” — no crazy fonts; no equal [...]
@font-face in IE
An indepth article just out by Jon Tang on how to make @font-face work in IE. A recommended read for all interested in typopgraphy for the Web: @font-face in IE: Making Web Fonts Work We’re one step closer to ditching sIFR and Flir et al.
jQuery: how to tell if you’re scroll to bottom?
This is a question a jQuery user asked recently. It’s a simple question without a simple answer. There is no inverse equivalent to scrollTop=0 (i.e. scrollBottom=0) so the solution requires some thought. The scenario is this — we have a fixed height div with overflow:auto and we want to use JavaScript to programmatically scroll to [...]
FON Free WiFi
I’m sure you will agree this is nothing new but I’ve been intrigued by the FON Free WiFi service for quite some time, just never got round to sharing my thoughts. With the recent horror stories about wireless mobile subscribers racking up thousands of dollars in mobile data charges I thought I’d finally blog a [...]
Microsoft to adopt jQuery
Some exciting news just came out — Microsoft plans to adopt jQuery making it part of their official development platform. So it will be shipped with Visual Studio and have all that intellisense goodness. I’m pretty excited about this news. Though I no longer use Microsoft development products it is a testiment to the world [...]
