jQuery debug plugin - print_r style output

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

The other day I was searching for some Javascript that could output objects and stuff in a similar fashion to PHP’s print_r function, with indentation and all. In the end I ended up combining two different scripts, a simple one that focuses mostly on the presentation, and one that focuses more on the true recursiveness that is required.... Read More

Invitation card creator with Prototype and Scriptaculous

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

I’ve created a demo demonstrating the feasibility earlier, the first one using jQuery and jQuery UI actually, although at the end I never used jQuery since Inviclub is created with Symphony and Symphony is using Prototype.... Read More

jQuery with LightWindow and Prototype JS

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

What a day yesterday was. Supposedly if you do the whole jQuery no conflict stuff it will be able to play ball with Protoype.js, not true. I wanted to retrieve the value of the currently selected option in a select box with jQuery but for some reason all that monkey patching going on in Prototype just tripped it up.... Read More

Upload in IFRAME, update parent document with Ajax and jQuery

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Because of all the recent problems with Flash uploading I just opted for uploading in an IFRAME. The IFRAME will reload itself when the upload is finished. When this happens it will trigger a jQuery JavaScript that will update a DIV in the document that contains the frame.
