jQuery next()/nextAll()/siblings() + dialog() Gotcha

Sat, 16 Jun 2012 22:31:00 -0700

So today I was writing up a simple little form hint with a jQuery UI dialog popup with more details on the hint. The code was actually quite simple: [More]

Thank You, cfUniForm...

Wed, 13 Jun 2012 21:13:00 -0700

This probably comes as no surprise, but it has been many years since I have written a form without the aid of cfUniForm. Today, however, I had a need to throw together a ridiculously quick and simple upload form on a project that only has this one form on it. Hardly enough to warrant adding cfUniForm into the mix. Or so it seemed. [More]

cfUniForm v4.6.0 - IMPORTANT PrettyComments XSS Vulnerability Fix Release

Sun, 11 Sep 2011 17:38:00 -0700

IMPORTANT: If you have textareas in any of your forms, you will want to upgrade! A big THANK YOU! to Marc Esher for identifying an XSS vulnerability with the plugin that cfUniForm had previously used for "expandable" textareas. Marc contacted the author of the PrettyComments jQuery plugin repeatedly in an effort to help the author resolve this issue. However, the author gave no indication that he was interested in a fix. Because of this, cfUniForm now uses Elastic for expandable textareas. [More]

XStandard + jQuery

Tue, 29 Mar 2011 14:37:00 -0700

We have used XStandard for many years now, and always used a JavaScript-free setup. When Firefox 4 came out, everything stopped working; the editor content was no longer being posted back to the server. [More]

Firebug: "missing } after property list"

Thu, 03 Mar 2011 18:46:00 -0700

So I was doing some "quickie" JavaScript today, using jQuery, of course. I scribbled out some code. Then I decided to change the way I was going to handle it, so I commented out little bits and changed the code. I then decided to go back to my original idea, and uncommented everything that I had previously commented out. Or so I thought. [More]

dynamicField: My First "Official" jQuery Plugin

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 13:48:00 -0700

Anyone that knows me knows that I hate doing UI work. Why? Because I suck at it. Graphics, design, and layout are definitely not among my talents. Which is why I love jQuery so much. I can write a little bit of JavaScript - very little, in fact - add a plugin or two, and voila! I have a nice looking user interface for my application. After using a few very handy form-related jQuery plugins and integrating them into my cfUniForm library, I decided it was time I go ahead and release a plugin of my own. [More]

IMPORTANT: Uni-Form Tag Library Info

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 19:15:00 -0700

The other day I announced the v2 release of the Uni-Form Custom Tag Library, which contains a number of enhancements and jQuery plugin integrations. One thing *very* important detail that I forgot to mention: If you are using the Validation plugin, you *must* use jQuery 1.2.2 or higher. As long as you are using the current release you are fine, since it is at 1.2.6 as of this posting. If you use anything 1.2.1 or earlier, you will have all sorts of JavaScript errors being thrown. Update This post only applies to those of you who are loading jQuery on your own. If you are relying on the tags to load jQuery for you, jQuery-1.2.6 is the release that is loaded. :-)

Integrated dependencies
Integrated support for the following jQuery plugins
- Date Picker

- Input Masking

Path Configuration

Let's look at some of the new goodies in more detail... [More]

ColdBox 2.6 + AJAX (powered by jQuery) = Sinfully Easy

Fri, 16 May 2008 16:48:00 -0700

I've mentioned before that I <3 ColdBox and that I <3 jQuery. Independently of one another, they are just a pleasure to work with. Today I decided to write my first-ever jQuery-powered AJAX functionality inside a ColdBox-powered application. It's ridiculously simple to do - one might even say sinful. So easy in fact, that I decided to post a quick "tutorial" on how to handle a pretty common task with ColdBox and jQuery. [More]

jQuery DOM Manipulation

Mon, 21 Jan 2008 02:10:00 -0700

In case you hadn't heard yet, jQuery is a seriously bad-ass, lightweight library that I'm in love with. Here's what the official jQuery site has to say about it:

"jQuery is a fast, concise, JavaScript Library that simplifies how you traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and add Ajax interactions to your web pages. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript."

However, you can always leave it to a guy like me to find a way to screw things up. [More]

Have I Ever Mentioned That I <3 jQuery?

Tue, 01 Jan 2008 02:13:00 -0700

I don't know if I've ever mentioned it before, but I really love jQuery. It's such a lightweight, yet very powerful tool. There are so many really cool things that you can do with jQuery, and I'm really no authority on the matter, but here is one really basic task that I use it for. [More]
