HowTo: Revert local changes in Git
Found this answer on Stack Overflow very useful, so thought I’d share it here: If you want to revert changes made to your working copy, do this: git checkout . If you want to revert changes made to the index (i.e., that you have added), do this: git reset If you want to revert a [...]
How to get Fancybox 1.3.1 to stay put!
I recently had a need to use a Fixed position overlay and found that Fancybox breaks if I set #fancybox-wrap to position:fixed.

The scenario is this — we have a fixed height div with overflow:auto and we want to use JavaScript to programmatically scroll to [...]

Put simply, event delegation is the practice of directing events on parent DOM elements who then listen on their children for events. To [...]
Hyper-connected
Jeremiah Owyang’s post on Email Consumes Us gives us food for thought on the ever changing tide of communication. Email can become very unmanageable it seems; although only last year many were singing its praises saying that Email is the best invention and all good web applications basically mirror an Email architecture. So if Email [...]
Taming the SharePoint Beast
SharePoint is a strange beast. It’s not a particularly inspiring piece of software, neither has it been built with usability in mind. Microsoft being Microsoft put much hype into it promising world domination for CEO’s whilst neglecting the web professionals cry for better usability! At dConstruct 2007, Jared Spool in his talk on “The Dawning [...]
