This week I implemented a grid style application using Classic ASP and Jeditable. The hardest part of implementing this application was trying to figure out what a save.asp version of save.php would look like. Here the template I created.
<%
dim sID, sValue,errorcode dim field1,field2,field3,field4
‘The sID is a spreadsheet style ID
‘As an example B3 would be the [...]
I fixed the IE8 Compatibility Problem I talked about previously. The login screen was missing some of the most basic HTML tags. I have seen several early ASP files that ignored the basic HTML tags and page structure. Since the page worked with the current browsers there was no need to fix it even though [...]

I have been pretty busy this year with a move to a new warehouse so I did not get around to checking IE8 out until last week. So I installed the released version of IE8 for a quick checkout. It is scheduled to go on automatic updates in late April. The first screen I tried [...]

One of my favorite tools has been updated. It alludes to the possibility of integrating Writer with a couple of services and technologies I have been looking at integrating, Flickr and Lightbox. I was almost motivated enough to try my hand at writing a plugin a while back. The most obvious change is that the [...]

I have been using this plugin for almost a year. When it works it is great! When I upgraded to WordPress 2.5 I started having a problem with the final two steps, reactivating the plugins and going to the final page. Before I could activate the plugins I had to upgrade the data base. Then [...]
I upgraded to WordPress 2.5.1 today and my old theme broke. I have been looking at Cutline for some time but I have not been motivated enough to commit the time. Today I had the motivation. I am really pleased that I had it ready to go in about thirty minutes.

Recently I changed some of my sites to not use the "www" on the front of the URL. It was a little tricky but I got it working right. The first part is to change WordPress to use shorter URL. The second part of the change was to modify the .htaccess file. I found that [...]

I installed WordPress 2.5 last Saturday on all of the blogs I support. It had passed some preliminary testing on my development blog so I installed it. It is supposed to have increased security, better administrative panels, and the ability to upgrade plugins automatically. They say there are very few changes that will affect the [...]

The biggest difficulty I had was to understand what the folder layout for Windows box should look like. I ended up using svn1clicksetup to get a standard layout. Due to issues between Subversion and Apache 2.2, I [...]

Okay, Markus said I shouldn’t do this but I installed Opera@USB on my USB drive and renamed a few files. I wanted Opera to appear as a menu item in the PortableApps Menu. Here is how I did this.
First I created a directory under the PortableApps directory called, OperaPortable. You can name it anything you [...]

I ran across this page in one of the blogs I read but I do not remember which. I installed YSlow to check out my web sites. It was an easy check. The rules I consistently failed were rules 3 and 4. I came back here for the explanations. Implementing fixes for these rules can [...]

Today I ran across Bennett’s jQuery version of the Share This plugin. By using plugins based on jQuery rather than Prototype library, I reduced the load time for several web sites. I still had one web site that used the Prototype library and I suspected it was because of the Share This plugin. By switching [...]

I dislike the use of Flash for most business web sites. In this case I will make an exception. This Dutch site, HEMA – online winkelen, has one of the best and most amusing uses of Flash. It is worth the wait!
