[jQuery] TableSorter 2.0.3 > parser "usLongDate" doesn't like Timezone added...

2008-11-12 Thread Geoff Millikan

The native TableSorter 'usLongDate' fails if the timezone is added
like this:

Nov 12, 2008 1:25 PM (PST)
Nov 11, 2008 2:25 PM (EST)

So I chopped the timezone off with my own custom parser like in the
below.  But once I add my custom parser, the native parser
'usLongDate' doesn't run!

Can I run two parsers over the same data?

$.tablesorter.addParser({
// set a unique id
id: 'strip_tz',
is: function(s) {
// return false so this parser is not auto detected
return false;
},
format: function(s) {
// format your data for normalization
return s.substring(0,(s.length-5));
},
// set type, either numeric or text
type: 'numeric'
});

Of course I could just use ISO datatime format like
"2008-11-12T21:21:42+00:00" but humans have a hard time reading
that.  ;-)

Thanks!

[jQuery] Re: JQuery Size > YUI Compressor & mod_deflate/GZIP

2008-02-04 Thread Geoff Millikan

Joel,

Wow, I had no idea that packed JavaScript had to be unpacked on each
page load!  Ouch!

So if I'm reading the data right on the JavaScript Library Performance
Test Roundup it seems as though the way to go is defiantly the Yahoo
minified script with GZIP at 131ms cached (731ms uncached).  (Note to
self: trust the Jquery folks because the Jquery homepage says to use
the minified script if you have GZIP.  Stop double testing everything
and just do what *they* say.)

Our site has only 250K visitors a month but 7.5 million hits.  It's
like 20 hits per page.  I've got to start using CSS sprites.
Ar.


[jQuery] Re: JQuery Size > YUI Compressor & mod_deflate/GZIP

2008-01-29 Thread Geoff Millikan

Good point!

So what's the benchmark on Jquery script execution time using a YUI
Compressed script versus packed jquery-1.2.2.pack.js?

If the time is significant, then you're right - it probably makes
sense to use the larger YUI-Compressed file instead of the smaller
packed file.

I feel like I'm on some super duper web optimization team  ;-)

Now if only I was good looking and cool...


[jQuery] JQuery Size > YUI Compressor & mod_deflate/GZIP

2008-01-23 Thread Geoff Millikan

An update to the analysis at the link here: 
http://www.julienlecomte.net/blog/2007/08/13/

=== Expected best compression rate ===---
Uncompressed jquery-1.2.2.js = 93.1 KB
Compacted with latest release (2.2.5) of YUI Compressor = 52 KB
After Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat 5) mod_deflate GZIP compression with
highest compression settings = 15447 bytes

=== Unexpected best compression rate ===---
Packed jquery-1.2.2.pack.js   28.6 KB
After Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat 5) mod_deflate GZIP compression with
highest compression settings = 14655 bytes

=== Bottomline ===---
If you have a fast server with Apache's mod_deflate maxed out then use
the packed version of JQuery and save your users the effort of
downloading an extra 1000 bytes.

How do I bind the new form after it is inserted into the DOM?  Anyone
have a link to an example?


[jQuery] Re: jQuery Form Plugin > Doesn't execute on returned forms?

2007-11-25 Thread Geoff Millikan

I think you guys are cool.  I really appreciate that you guys are
spending your time helping others like this.  I hope you get some
reward for this other than seeing people communicating more
effectively on the 'net.

Anyway, I read the " Why do my events stop working" FAQ 3 or 4 times,
read the "AJAX and Events Tutorial" twice and looked at the source
code and tried the Live Query plugin by Brandon Aaron.

I understand that somehow the new form has to added to the existing
DOM.  I understand the examples working with a click event.  However
in this case, there's no  clickable anchors such as $('a').click(fn);
- this is just a form.  I'm can't seem to get the new form into the
existing DOM.

The best I could do was trying to insert the the ajaxForm as a
function within the original call but that didn't seem to do it as in
the below or at the link below
http://mammoth.t1shopper.com/voip/ajaxform.html
var options = {target:'#output1'};
$('#wizard1').ajaxForm(options, function () {
   var options = {target:'#output1'};
   $('#wizard1').ajaxForm(options);
}
);

I think this is beyond my ability but again, I applicate everything
you guys are doing to make complicated things like this in reach for a
lot more people.


[jQuery] jQuery Form Plugin > Doesn't execute on returned forms?

2007-11-25 Thread Geoff Millikan

I have a form that is submitted via the jQuery Form Plugin to a PHP
page which then returns another form in its place.  The second form
looks identical to the first however this second form will not submit
via the jQuery Form Plugin.

It's as if the jQuery Form Plugin script at the top of the original
page doesn't exist.

Do I have to somehow reinitialize the jQuery Form Plugin to recognize
the returned form?

2007-11-25 Thread Geoff Millikan

How interesting, the form submits, and the AJAX is returned (I can see
it in FireBug) but not in the DIV tags.  It appears that using a
function to submit the form breaks the  jQuery Form Plugin.

Example at the below link.  Click on the "dial up" button to submit
the form.

I want to load the AJAX content when the submit button is pushed, not
when the page is loaded.  How do I do this?  It seems like this would
be a simple thing but I just can't get it to work.  I feel really dumb
for even asking but it's got me stumped.

I see that there's great examples about how to do the AJAX post event,
but no examples on how to call the function from an onClick event.

Listing 5. Complex Ajax made simple with $.ajax()
$.ajax({
url: 'document.xml',
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'xml',
timeout: 1000,
error: function(){
alert('Error loading XML document');
},
success: function(xml){
// do something with xml
}

Karl,

I wrote a long response that I guess never got posted.  Suffice it to

[jQuery] Re: clueTip > 'rounded' theme issue with showTitle: false

2007-11-17 Thread Geoff Millikan

Karl,

I changed it to margin: -24px -12px 0 0; and in IE6.0.29 SP2 it looks
exactly centered top to bottom.   With the same settings in FF2.0.0.9
the text looks just a tad too low in the clueTip but it's only a pixel
or two too low.  So I'm going to use the -24px for the top margin.

I'll be sure to load the bgiframe plug in when I use clueTip on
forms.  Thanks for the hot suggestion!

And I got the arrows work, thanks for the tip!

http://mammoth.t1shopper.com/voip/internet_phone_service_details.php?p=1

It would be helpful (but not terribly urgent) if the JQuery team made
it so that a user (like me) could select their desired plug-ins and
then "compile" and minify all the plugins and the JQuery pack into one
script.  This would reduce my web server's load and decrease
consumer's page load times by reducing the number of HTTP calls to the
web server.  I'll be combining all the plugins manually and then
minifying which is laborsome but I'm used to labor.  :-)

[jQuery] Re: clueTip > 'rounded' theme issue with showTitle: false

2007-11-15 Thread Geoff Millikan

I like the arrows on the rounded corners!  Nice!

Example #1 on the "Rounded Corners Theme" doesn't really work because
the content in the clueTip is shifted down, out of vertical alignment
within the clueTip.  I'm guessing maybe it can be shifted up by
playing with the padding?  I'll give it a shot here soon.

Also noticed that using clueTip on forms is problematic because some
form elements, especially select boxes, show right though and overlay
on top of the clueTip.  Rats.
