These days I’m working a lot with other people’s code, I just discovered that a selectbox whose currently selected option I want to retrieve the inner html from; has the same id as a table column higher up in the document. Great…... Read More
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
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
The other day I wanted to try out jQuery Galleria, it didn’t work out of the box with jQuery 1.3.2. Galleria is using the old style @ syntax which doesn’t work anymore. You basically have to go through the whole plugin and replace lines like this:... Read More

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

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
The other day I needed something to check which version of flash player a user has. It’s all connected to the new problems with uploading that were introduced in Flash player version 10. For some reason the solution we are using needs to know if the player is of version 10 or lower in order to act accordingly. For some reason this will solve a problem with IE6 having a player version lower than 10, don’t ask me why, I’m not the one implementing this. My only mission was to detect version.... Read More
