Hooray!
That's it sorted. Thanks again Karl :)
Hey Karl,
That's probably exactly why! I wasn't aware I needed to do this - so I
will organise that now.
Many thanks,

Just heard from someone who found me on Google, but the plugin list
was not mentioned...
I've had two of my jQuery plugins published for a while now (more than
a year) on teh jQuery site, with backup doumentation and demoes on my
own site.

Hi Everyone,
I've recently updated my "Highlight" plugin, which is designed to
increases usability by highlighting elements as you interact with the
page. Its primary use is for forms, but it can also be used for
tables, lists, or any element you specify.

Hi Everyone,
I've finally updated my Populate plugin, which populates a form using
JSON data.
This plugin supports full PHP hierarchical naming and deep JSON data
structures, as well as checkbox arrays and other non-standard UI
controls. The plugin can be used as part of your AJAX toolkit, or fo
I love validate. It takes a bit of getting used to the options, but
it's great.
I attach a custom attribute to any items i want validated with simple
rules, then validate does the rest.
A rough example:
Any error messages will go here...
$('#form-1').validate()
You don't need a plugin, just the animate effect:
$('page').animate({left:600}, 1000)
> I was also thinking that the routine you built could be converted into
a search-term highlighter.
There's already a jQuery plugin that highlights, called, conveniently-
enough, highlight!
:)
Yup - you need jQuery and Regular Expressions:
var elements = $('a[class="tablink"]')
elements.each(
function(){
var html = $(this).html()
html = html.replace(/([A-Z])/g, '$1')
$(this).html(html)
}
)

Hey Stephen,
RegExps are always going to be slower than a basic indexOf, so perhaps
when you loop through the names you could try running an indexOf
first, then if it comes out positive, only then do you the RegExp
replacement.
I imagine that there would be a cutoff point where the performance

Heh heh, this is cool!
var names = ['Stephen Boyd','Fred Von Brown']
$("body").each(
function(){
var html = $(this).html()
$(names).each(
function(i, e){
var rx= new RegExp(e, 'gi')
html = html.replace(rx, '' +e+ '')
}
For only the first name on each page, just remove the 'g' modifier
from the RegExp constructor (I'm sure you know this)
How funny - I wrote the exact same thing tonight!
http://www.keyframesandcode.com/code/development/javascript/jquery-favelet/
Well you could do something like this (it would be prohibitively slow
on 250 names on one page though!!) :
var names = ['Stephen','Fred']
$("body").each(
function(){
var html = $(this).html()
$(names).each(
function(i, e){
var rx= new RegExp(e, 'gi')

True!
But the jquery was good. So not sure what was going on there.
Sometimes you just need to delete blocks of code and write from
scratch, as you just can't what's not quite right (the brain sees what
it
Not sure, but from an id/class point of view, any page id should be
unique, so your "order" identifier if it is to be used on many TDs,
should really be a class="order".
So if you're just picking up a single id, there's no need to iterate
over, is there?
Anyway - I replicated your test and find w
Well regexp would be useful if there was a pattern to people's names,
but there isn't.
Do you want to find any names, or a list, or a specific name?

Well you know - try as I like, I could NOT get the DOM method

I couldn't bind 'beforeunload' to the window. document, or body tag

Yes!
The CSS background image is the way forward.
Thank [EMAIL PROTECTED] for that. A layered-over-the-top-div solution would have
been a complete and horrible hack as far as I'm concerned, so this is
just great.
li.thumbnail{
position:relative;
width:75px;
height:75px;
Brainwave: CSS background-image!
I'm going to try this now...
"[EMAIL PROTECTED] Macs as usual!" was my first thought.

Hi all,
I'm developing a back end for a photographer's agent, and she wants
the site to be mainly drag 'n' drop thumbnail images, so she can
create "collections" of various images, by dragging from various bins.

I knew about :input, but my brain just pre-supposed it meant only

So thanks for pointing that out!
Hey Marty,
I couldn't live without PHP's square brackets. I just about always
want to split up a form into component parts.
I could easily write something using RegExp to do this for me, but
having it all built in is just lovely.
Great that Rails has it too.
Cheers,

Hi Aaron,
Good styles there with the name attribute stuff. Not so good if you
want to grab other entities such as selects, but good to see that it
accepts non-standard characters.
OK - this is the best I could come up:
function $$(selector, context){
return jQuery(selector.replace(/(\[|\])/g, '\\$1'),
context)
}
$$('#contact[email]')
It adds to the global namespace (so won't work with prototype for
example, which also uses
Wow, that's really useful to know, thanks Karl.
I think I'll just use a regular expression:
selector = selector.replace(/(\[|\])/g, '\$1')
It would be really useful if this were an option, somehow. My jQuery-
foo is not all that.
Any ideas, anyone?
Cheers,
Dave
tors e.g.
#contact #email

Sorry for teh delay - was ill yesterday so took a day off.

Jorn,
I've done some work on selectors for groups, and it's actually quite
easy to select a group or sub group for validation, although I don't
know the details of your implementation, so I wont suppose to imply
anything.
As usual I've uploaded some demo code for you to take a look.

restored and the form is one again bullet-proof, ready for another
submission.
What do you think?

Hi Chris,
The trick to Google Maps (for me at least) was getting to know the

normally instantiate objects, then pass them.
For example, in the example Bohdan gave, you would have to 1) create

I made a small discovery (in my sleep no less!) that works in HTML,
but screws up the PHP:
HTML:
If I put the array properties in single quotes (the spaces are to make
it clearer), the controls are validated as a group! This is good.
PHP:
However, the PHP also receives those single quotes, so
Hey folks,
I often pass variables to the backend using associative arrays.
However, I can't seem to associate the error label with the group as a
whole, as in HTML Form terms, it's actually 2 separate elements,
rather than array (which PHP sees it as).
Associative Array Test

Not sure if this is the best reply, but in order to access the
structure, it has to be part of the DOM, so best to inject in into a
placeholder first:
$('#placeholder).html(xml) // probably need to kill the xml
declaration first
Then you can use jQuery to traverse the tree.
:D
Great stuff!
In the meantime I'm looking forward to learning even more about your
fabulous, time-saving plugin.
Cheers!
Dave
n override the error element like this. I've
checked and it works great.
But unless I'm mistaken, it's missing from the validation options
documentation!

Jörn,
"highlight" does exactly what I want if I pass it an empty function,
so that's great.
How about adding the option to pass "null" or "false" for those times
when you want to do nothing and just let the the error message take
the strain?

Great little plugin there! I've done teh same using vanilla
