[jQuery] Re: jQuery, MooTools, and Prototype - A Comparison

2009-05-21 Thread David Meiser
jQuery, prototype, and MooTools all provide very good to excellent FAQs and documentation on their respective websites. Barring that, why not just mock up some simple interface (say, something with an accordion interface, making an AJAX call to a static HTML file to replace some content) and try i

[jQuery] Re: can i use lightbox and thickbox on one webpage

2009-05-21 Thread David Meiser
Short answer, yes. You need to use jQuery in compatibility mode. Long answer: why not just rewrite the lightbox class to thickbox and use thickbox for both? Since thickbox is a clone of lightbox, they are similar enough to swap out on the fly. Good luck, Dave On Thu, May 21, 2009 at 9:41 AM, u

You don't actually /need/ a plugin to do this - browser support for the CSS :hover psuedo class is 100% (IE supports it all the way back to pre-5.5 days). Unless, of course, you're talking about something like what's under "More Top Stories." In which case you also don't really need a plugin

This is slightly off topic, but if anybody can solve this, it'll be this mailing list. The basic question is: Is there a way to catch an error thrown in an external js library so that I can continue parsing the remaining javascript on the page? The more detailed version is this: I'm using DotNe

For the "items too wide" issue, you've got this set for all list-items: padding-right: 31px. You could adjust this with a padding-right rule for .sf-menu li li. This would help you "skinny" up the items. I'm not sure that I can help you with dropping items towards the center of the page. That s

Rick, I've got a project that I used jTemplates on. They're nice because you use standard HTML to template with and just wrap your JSON items in braces. For me, at least, it took a bunch of javascript strings (some upwards of 1000 characters) and replaced them with a straightforward block of HTM

If I may recommend: Use a web service (ASMX) to grab your data. ASP.Net supports automatic serialization to XML or JSON, all you have to do is return an array of objects that have a ToString() function. For example, I've got a table in SQL Server of primitive types (no custom types). Using LINQ

I think centering is going to be difficult. You could try setting the list items to a specific width and then text-align:centering the links. That might create some cross-browser issues, though. Another thought is to set the unordered list to a specific width and then text-align:centering the li
