Re: [jQuery] Docs Wigdet
if it works on PC, i'd definitely use it! Then it would need to be called a GADget and not a WIDget, it's not the same ;-) (those of you reading digg and/or apple blogs will get the joke :-)) ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
Re: [jQuery] Docs Wigdet
That's looks really cool, I'd definitely use it. Hey Yahuda, you could use Yahoo Widgets [1], they work in windows and mac http://widgets.yahoo.com/ I don't know a single mac user using Yahoo Widgets, because Apple Dashboard Widgets are built in, do the job fairly fine and already take up enough memory anyway. An Apple Dashboard Widget will do for me ;-) ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/

Didn't know you could use flash to do that :) SWFUpload (http://swfupload.mammon.se/) can do similar things, but only uses Flash to do the actual filtering/selection/uploading of the file, you can handle the look and upload progress through JavaScript and CSS. I've used it in one of my applications with great success (instead of having to resort to periodical updaters and the likes). ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/

A mix of both actually, it would be great if I could just replace Prototype/scriptaculous with jquery/interface and I wouldn't have to replace my Rails helpers with Javascript code (I prefer to use Rails helpers for the simple stuff and resort to custom JS code if the Rails helpers are not sufficient). The Rails helpers are really great for the day-to-day stuff, but they don't encompass the complete functionality of Proto/script. This is *exactly* what I'm after - combined with the idea of UOJS, that is. Indeed, but considering jQuery users already being used to UOJS, I didn't mention it, it seemed obvious to me :-) ___ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
Re: [jQuery] jQuery and Rails
I realize there is a group of people who'd like to just write everything in
Ruby (i.e. get to
use javascript without having to know javascript), but I think that's a red
herring.
That's not the main issue, but without MinusMOR, your RJS files would
always look like
page some_jquery_code;
page some_jquery_code;
I don't mind writing JavaScript myself either, but in order for jQuery
for Rails to be easily integrated into existing applications, the
helpers are a must. I have my fair share of applications that combine
both helpers and sporadically some custom JS code, but I don't want to
refactor all my RJS and view code just for being able to integrate
jQuery instead of proto/script. If it could be plug-and-play (and not
plug-and-pray) I wouldn't doubt and just deploy new versions of my
AJAXed apps just for jQuery.
Here are the main issues I've run into:
+ unobtrusively including js specific to a view
... and a Rails way of keeping the behavior in a separate file
(separate behavior from representation). What I would do now, is
either use a partial to render the JS in the header and put it in my
layout or just add JS files to the public/javascripts directory, but I
don't find it very Rails-like, it doesn't feel like the best solution.
So, in whatever.rhtml, do something like:
% javascript :file = 'path/to/plugin.js' %
% javascript :text = %{ $('p').css('color','blue'); } %
pWhatever.../p
% javascript :text = %{ $('p').css('font-size', '2em'); }% %
And get:
html
head
script type=text/javascript src=whatever.js/script
/head
body
pWhatever.../p
/body
/html
Looks like Luke Redpath's UJS4Rails way of doing things :-) It's not a
bad solution, but UJS4Rails has introduced unreliable behavior in some
of the apps I have been working on.

Re: [jQuery] Off topic: which programming language for webdevelopment
I too would recommend Ruby on Rails. It's a very powerful full stack framework and pretty easy to get a hang off (even if you don't know ruby). If you really want to program PHP (I did this until a year ago, but try to avoid it as much as possible now), you could have a look at the Rails-like CakePHP or Symphony PHP frameworks. But, as I said, Ruby on Rails is just so easy yet powerful and it has a great community. Prototype/Scriptaculous is well integrated into Rails (the authors of those JavaScript frameworks are core members of RoR), but you could as well use JQuery. I prefer to use JQuery with Rails and have done so with great success. I use the MinusR plugin from Dan Webb, so I can use erb (the rails templating language) in my JavaScript code.

Our company is looking for a way for 'quick' web-development. Small webapps consisting of a few webpages with some minimal database interaction. We currently develop everything in Java (including webapps), but I find the whole cycle of developing, compiling (java class files, EJBs etc), deploying, JNDI setup, db resource setup and recompilation (of the jsps) too heavy. Additionally, for applications with a limited number of users (50 would be a huge userbase in this case), I think that a clustered multitier application server (our current deployment platform) is w too complex. I would like to propose a (any?) scripting language as alternative. Without making a choice for any language, I am looking for arguments why a dynamic scripting language in general would be better. Of course, I am also interested in language characteristics. I know PHP pretty well, but the other languages are, from a technical point of view, unknown to me.
