    After a long wait, jQuery 1.1.3 has been released! (Download it at the jQuery site) When I first adopted jQuery a year ago, the library boasted both faster speeds and smaller size than any other JavaScript Ajax/DOM tool. With the release of jQuery’s version 1.1.2, a number of jQuery’s operations became very slow and inefficiencient,…

    I’ve had a Mac for quite a while now (well…I have two and hopefully a third very soon) and sadly development tools on the Mac have been pretty lame. I began development in a Windows environment a number of years ago and grew very happy (and spoiled) with EditPlus. The features that I found myself…

    While at The Ajax Experience I noticed a tool that a few of the speakers made use of that was missing from my arsenal. The tool? JavaScript Shell. This little beauty, once you’ve added the bookmark to your browser allows you to open a JavaScript Shell for any page you happen to be on! The…

    [[innerindex]] A Little Background After my post titled Look Ma, Cross Domain Scripting! a while back, I received a comment that was seeking more information. The commenter posts: I’m looking at your code and it doesn’t explain exactly how this works, it just provides us with code to use. I’m curious as to what makes…

    Some of my most recent posts involving code have displayed the wonderful blocks of login in all its syntax highlighted glory. A week ago I stumbled on the sweet syntax highlighting plugin – iG:Syntax Highligher (here’s the link to the actual plugin). The highlighter uses GeSHi for the highlighting engine then wraps a bunch of…

    [[innerindex]] The Background I have often mentioned my process of expanding my proficiency of Ajax. Through my journey I have made a number of wrong turns and hit my share of stumbling blocks. All of that has been a learning experience and I’m learning still. I began fiddling with XMLHttpRequest as many do – blissfully…

    Prototype is an excellent tool but lacking in documentation, causing me to fumble around and *gasp* look at the source code. As any developer knows, when reviewing code there is a chance that you may miss something or ignore what doesn’t seem interesting. In doing so, you may miss some sweet features that you would…

    Ajax, as I’ve stated time and time again, is sweet. So what is problem? XMLHTTPRequest requires that the called scripts that execute server side and return information to the client must reside on the same domain. This has irked me time and time again during my exploration and experimentation of the Web 2.0 world. Enter…

    I am always talking about deleting the internet. I have finally written a script that will traverse the ENTIRE internet (regardless of security) and delete everything. We’re talking images, video, text documents, pdfs, security files, EVERYTHING. It took me a while to code, but I believe it will work. I have not yet tested it…
