[jQuery] jQuery Twitter Full API Plugin - Help Needed Testing
Hey guys, I've been working on a full implementation of the twitter API through, primarily, jQuery, with a simple relay script server side for securely signing and keeping auth details. I've just finished the library, and am looking for some developers who know either the twitter API and jQuery to help test out this new plugin. If you would like to help with this project (currently named Jitter: Jquery Twitter), please send an email to gars...@gmail.com Thanks! [Cross Posted on the Twitter Dev and jQuery Lists]
[jQuery] Re: Loading jQuery without blocking
Honestly, I'd load jQuery regularly, and use the getScript function to load the rest of the files after domready. I don't know that you're getting a big performance increase in loading the jquery library in this method, and it is causing an unknown error, which isn't an ideal thing to debug. :P Using jQuery to backload any additional plugins or scripts can be super useful, but including the jQuery library asynchronously seems like a poor decision.

[jQuery] Re: Remove an element but not it's content
If you want a cleaner look, you can always just throw together a quick
plugin to handle things:
$.unwrap = function(){
return this.each(function(){
var el = $(this);
el.before( el.html() ).remove();
})
}
Then, simply call:
$('a.tester').unwrap();
And it will unwrap all matching tags.

[jQuery] Re: More fun with decrementing on click
The problem is in how you're applying the decrement operator. If you
put it at the end of the number, as in:
number--
Then, the current number will be returned, THEN decremented. That's
what's happening here.
Simply put the operator before the number, so it is decremented THEN
returned.
$('.number').html( --count );

[jQuery] Re: function running 2X
Pretty sure its because the event is bubbling up. Try:
$('#cardcharges td').click(function(){
alert('execute once');
return false;
});

[jQuery] Re: Using data(name,value) to store additional information
You could also do it with non-styling classes, as an alternative to
locating them.
$('div:first').data('foo', 'bar').addClass('foo');
$('.foo');

[jQuery] Re: JQuery and XHTML in Firefox
What doctype / mimetype are you specifying. If you're doing xhtml+xml, I'm pretty sure if you remove the "+xml" portion, things will play nicely again.

[jQuery] Re: consistently unable to get return false to work, why?
Try starting off with a simplifying your selectors and the code in
general? .live(), in this case, isn't going to provide you much
benefit, as you're binding it to an element based on an ID, which
means there will only ever be a single element which this function
triggers for.
Try something like:
$(function(){
$('#getEmail').submit(function(){
var sid = $('.emailsButton', this).attr('id'),
email = $('#email');
email.after( isValidEmailAddress( email.val() ) ? 'works' :
'Email is not
valid!' );
return false;
});
});

[jQuery] Re: Looking for some help converting this to jquery
function setButtonClass(){
$(':submit,:reset,:button').each(function(){
var el = $(this),
val = el.val(),
word = (val.split(/[^A-Z\W]/).length/2) + val.length;
el.addClass( word >= 12 ? 'mb' : (word > 4 ? 'sb' : (word >

})
}
Untested, but give it a shot. Should work fine, so long as you execute
after document.ready.

Well, firebug shouldn't have cared as much as IE would, because of a comma inside the list of params in your POST. The last element in an object can't have a comma. Also, could you post the HTML?
