Yup, I hear ya all and now understand the issue.  Especially Sam's
point that upgrading automatically may break a function somewhere.

Thanks so much for the replies.

Much appreciated.

I guess the last question is is there any advantage in linking to the
google hosted scripts rather than hosting them myself?

Doesn't this leave the possibility that if google's server is down my
site breaks.  Whereas if my server is down for some reason, well...it
is ALL down.

  Google has servers all over the world, so it's unlikely the service
  will be down, but it is possible I guess. Also, because of that, the

  Google's server, it doesn't use your bandwidth.

[jQuery] Keeping jquery codes up to date - best practise?

2009-03-22 Thread Microbe

Hey everyone,

I use jquery on a number of sites (all on the same server).

What is the best way to keep jquery scripts up to date across them all
without having to change code all over the place.

I was thinking of using one of my domains as a host, putting
generically named files there e.g. jquery.js for the core, and then
point each page needing jquery on any site to mydomain/js/jquery.js so
that I only have to update the single file when the time comes.

It seems like a reasonable idea...let's hear from devil's advocates or
those who have better suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that, but if you use it, aren't you linking to a specific
version number?

Their example is path: 
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js;

So what happens if right though my code I call that file and then
1.3.3 comes out?


[jQuery] [blockui] Use blockui to block until page loads

2009-03-13 Thread Microbe

Hey there,

I use jquery but have to admit to not understanding it really well -
how many different things can one learn???

I have a page that uses jquery popup and also loads a CGI script.  It
takes a little while for the CGI to load so I want to block the page
until it is done.

How would I di that with blockUI?

Thanks in advance

 Hi Sean,

 I built this breadcrumb animation.  Due to time limitations at the end
 of the project I wasn't able to make it into a plugin (I built a lot
 of other plugins for this project), but I'd like to when I get a
 chance.

 I really solved a problem for us because our category and page titles
 are so long (scientists are long winded).  Before we would show only a
 couple of steps in the HTML to get around this.  This method was more
 SEO friendly, more usable, and I thought, kind of cool.

 If there is a demand for it I'll work on porting it to a plugin, but
 probably not for the next 2 weeks or so.

Nice work,

I would like to see the behaviour as follows:

When one image is zoomed and you click on another there are 3
options:  just close the first one (as it does now) OR close the first
one and open the second one (better) OR open the second one as well.

I should add, this is a great solution to another issue.  I use

and IE6 causes a computer to reboot

2008-10-24 Thread Microbe



 Just about anything, if not all, you do with jQuery requires or makes
 the most sense to have the DOM to be ready, it should be as automatic
 as it gets writing that first line of code

...and the best way to make sure people who are new to JQuery
understand this is  if it is made more clear on the demos page and in
documentation


[jQuery] blockUI custom options not working

2008-10-23 Thread Microbe

Hey folks,

I don't like to waste a list's time with a noob question, but I have
come to my wits end on this.

I am trying to use blockUI on a series of  file upload fields on a
page

It works fine, but I just can't get the custom message to work.  All
the demos use a button

I have tried a number of variations including copying code straight
from the demos.  This should at least turn the overlay blue, but it
isn't - http//www/DearFamilyandFriends.com/tes.php

script src=includes/jquery-1.2.6.pack.js type=text/javascript/
script
script src=includes/jquery.blockUI.js type=text/javascript/
script
script src=includes/jquery.MultiFile.js type=text/javascript/
script

script language=javascript type=text/javascript
jQuery('#test').click(function() {
jQuery.blockUI({ overlayCSS: { backgroundColor: '#00f' } });

setTimeout(jQuery.unblockUI, 2000);
});
/script

/head

body
form action= method=post name =testform
input id=test name=test type=file class=multi accept=gif|
jpg/
/form
/body

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Mike,

That solved it - love your work!!!

Perhaps this could be made more clear on the demos page and in
documentation to save you answering the question again.
