Three easy steps to making your own jQuery bookmarklet, allowing you to dynamically inject jQuery into any page on the internet.

Make a new bookmark in your browser, name it “Inject jQuery”
Copy and paste this code into the “location” of the bookmarklet:
javascript:var%20s=document.createElement(’script’);s.setAttribute(’src’,%20′http://jquery.com/src/jquery-latest.js’);document.getElementsByTagName(‘body’)[0].appendChild(s);alert(‘jQuerified’);void(s);

Save the bookmark.

Now all you have to do is click the bookmark whenever you want [...]

So after several hours of painstaking research and trial and error I finally figured out how to make the Google Data API work with Godaddy servers. The problem lies in that godaddy tunnels all of it’s encrypted SSL traffic through a proxy server.  There are various solutions and “hacks” available, but it seems that these [...]

Being a web-developer, there is nothing more annoying than having to test on multiple browsers.   Getting your CSS & Javascript (and sometimes HTML in IE) to work is a real pain, and frankly I’m sick of having to do this after I finish each project.  It often takes longer to write it so it’s compatible [...]

Some of Windows Vista’s “Enhancements” have made the operating system rely heavily on valuable hard disk space.  Recently I’ve been trying to comprehend how I could have possibly filled up a 750 gb hard drive with 680 gb of information after only owning the computer for 6 months.  The fact of the matter is that [...]

This is really just something for all you new jQuery learners, if you want to keep the cursor inside of a text box, even if you click elsewhere on the page, you can do this:
//Initial focus on #inputfieldid
$(“#inputfieldid”).focus();
//When you click anywhere it focuses back on #inputfieldid
$(this).click(function(){
$(“#inputfieldid”).focus();
});

So the summer is in full swing and I’m cranking out 45 hour work weeks. 9 – 7 with an hour lunch break has been the general theme. I’m now working the afternoons with a new company called JAT Digital Solutions which I have been doing extensive PHP/MySQL + HTML/CSS/jQuery for. I’m [...]

I just added plenty of information to my portfolio, and it has been reorganized to be more coherent.  There are now links to some of the pages i’ve done coding for, as well as descriptions of the Webkits + Webapps i’ve been developing myself and along with Eric Wimberley (http://www.blank89.net).
He needs to fix his site!

another thing that I should have invented when i had thought of it… grr.But seriously, after 2 weeks of having the internet shut off at 5:30 at my house everyday i’ve learned that I would be such a nub tub without it.
I swear it’s like theres innovation just screaming to get out of my head, [...]
