I just implemented fetching and displaying one’s Twitter feed in my feed reader (that I will be inviting people to use when/if I ever feel like it’s finished).... Read More

This piece will build on the prior piece, this time we’ll take a look at how we can implement quick and dirty AJAX, using the very same class we went through in the prior tutorial.... Read More

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

When this happens it will trigger a jQuery JavaScript that will update a DIV in the document that contains the frame. It’s really easy, the below example is from a Symfony project so we can’t use the $ sign because it will conflict with the prototype library.... Read More
