I just learned IE does not support jQuery’s new live (event delegation) binding on the change event. Very nice IE, you did it again.

jQueryUI dialog as loading screen (replace blockUI)
I like being able to manually control my loading screen with my ajax calls. Previously I was using the blockUI jQuery plugin. It’s a great plugin. You may turn an overlay on your entire screen or just a layer on or off by simply calling and Since at work they are hosting the jQueryUI package,… Continue reading jQueryUI dialog as loading screen (replace blockUI)
jQuery selection copy
Here’s a jQuery scenario I encountered today at work. I found the solution interesting. I have 2 identical selection dropdowns. When I select from the first one I want to copy the selection value into the second. However, I also have a change event attached to the second selection dropdown.

Creative overlay/popup with jQuery
While doing a presentation on jQuery at work today, I went over a particular example I put together earlier today. I thought I’d share it with you here.

If you use the SpringMVC framework and wish to show generic validation error messages at the top of the page, here’s how you do it: Obviously if you wish… Continue reading SpringMVC generic errors
log4j properties loading problem + put ivy jar on classpath in ant
I learned a few new tricks recently that I thought are pretty cool. If you use apache log4j, you can get very frustrated sometimes that it does not log based on what you defined in your log4j.properties file. This is because if your java web application contains other jars that also have log4j.properties, the log4j… Continue reading log4j properties loading problem + put ivy jar on classpath in ant
CSS 3-column layout
Saw this link getting dugg today. Despite a huge CSS fan, I have to agree with one of the comments. The fact that getting a 3 column layout in CSS is a feat of wonder is an indication that something is terribly wrong with the standard. Building this layout should be obvious, intuitive, and in… Continue reading CSS 3-column layout
