Hi there,
a project of ours, sustainablevaluecalculator.com, is now in public
beta. The website introduces a new model for calculating corporate
sustainability - so probably less interesting to the general public,
but I still hope we've done a good job in making it easy to understand
and follow.
I have used both CodeIgniter and Zend Framework with jQuery using
progressive enhancement and ajax and can recommend both. CodeIgniter
is nice for getting started using a MVC framework. ZF is more powerful
and good to integrate in existing applications.
There's a nice CodeIgniter tutorial at http
Hi,
took me precisely one month to figure out what caused the error.
I was using "box" for an id, which obviously is reserved in IE.
Strangely enough, it caused jQuery's offset() to fail with elements
within a div named , while doing an offsetParent
on the HTML object worked.

Hi Benjamin,
any progress on your xml loading problem in IE locally? I'll be

Hi Benjamin,
I'm currently struggling with a similar error. Possibly the xml data
isn't transmitted as XML?
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: xmlFile,
dataType: 'xml',
success: function(){},
error: function(x, s, e){}
});
If I use JSON, things are working nicely. Any chance to change your

Hi,
I have a page in which I'm trying to use offset() on a checkbox (using
jQuery 1.2.1)
In FF, everything works fine, but I'm getting an "Object doesn't
support this property or method" in IE6 and IE7.
The debugger indicates that the error occurs where jQuery tries to do
"box=elem.getBoundingCli
It really makes things easier when selecting elements with variables.

Hi Peter,
you don't need the plugin for that.
$('input[type="file"] will do.

I found the opposite to be the case.
When applying certain Javascripts to a page, Opera suddenly loses
styles. I couldn't really narrow it down specifically, but one case
would be a script that changes the height of a page element,

the slideUp and slideDown animations are happening at the same time,

first of all let me ask you why you would want to use the hoverIntent

I found the issue was discussed in the comments section of Jörn's page

You could also use a try/catch clause

$('#id').tableSorter();
} catch(err) {
// do something else or nothing

Hi Eridius,
yes, "this" refers to the object passed to the plugin, in your case
$('#hover_menu').hover_menu();
which would be shorter than
$('div[id=hover_menu]').hover_menu()
(function($)

$.fn.hover_menu = function(){
$(this).children('ul').children('li').hide();
};

Hi Mitchell,
Hi John,
thanks for pointing out that the step function will change. Obviously,
there really is good use for it if, so it'll be great if it could make
it into future builds of jQuery one way or another.
Thanks for your hard and thoughtful work,
