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.

After much anticipation, it’s finally here!! I present you the completely rewritten New Millennium – New Millennium with web 2.0 🙂 It’s done in ajax with the help of jQuery. The idea is to create a site with no page refresh. Although it was fun, toward the end it was getting a bit tedious. I… Continue reading new millennium with web 2.0
I’ve been working on a UI design at work and some of the build in components have border=”1″ on their generated table code. To achieve a consistent look, I always want border=”0″ on the table so I can control the table border with CSS. There is no way as far as I know you can… Continue reading jQuery and Tamper data rock
