One of the biggest problems in web UI is to synchronize page elements one upon each other, but by far the hardest is when dealing with multiple dropdowns. A good, clean User Interface is the key to your customer’s heart! This can be achieved in several ways, such as: on the change of the first dropdown, a new page request is issued to the server, with the selected item as current item and the server will figure out which element(s) need to be selected in the subsequent synchronized dropdowns – old style, not so used anymore because it takes time and bandwidth […]

How to add SyntaxHilight in a child theme for the Wordpress blog. THis way you'll be able to update your theme without losing the additional scripts that customise it. Or move to another theme while keeping your favorite scripts attached to it.
As a Ruby developer, I work quite a lot with their “special” plugins called gems. The nice fact about the gems is that they bring lots of functionality. By example, there’s a gem for paginating a collection who takes just few parameters and not only that finds out how many objects the collection has, but also how to split them, generating the corresponding links and serving to the original container (that used to show the entire collection) only the collection part that is representative in the context of current page and items per page. Before someone new to a specific […]
While working in Uni Bonn, I wanted to add ui-icon to JQuery tabs. This is how I did it: I've added .ui-tabs .ui-tabs-nav li a img into the css style and class="ui-state-error" to the container, thus all users will focus on the important tab. But you can read about the the entire process on my blog.
Windows Live Writer is one of the most popular blog authoring tool that I also happen to like and use because of its features – I especially enjoy the Preview tab. But it has a drawback - no Syntax Highlighting of my code! Let me tell you how I solved this issue.
This weekend fun was adding to my website the cool sliding control from Jérémie Tisseau website. As pretty it was, I immediately started thinking it as a container to my BNR exchange rate page. The coding worked well, with just few modifications.
How to implement syntax highlighting on your website and which languages are supported by this tool.
I wanted to install the original highlighter, Alex Gorbatchev’s one, but its website is quite cryptic when sharing installation information. I will share this with you and I hope that you’ll have easier time to implement it than me.
I created a special page which collects freely available exchange rates from BNR (National Romanian Bank) and presents them in a graphical form. This way, the viewers of my website will always be on the edge with exchange rates, as soon as BNR posts them (usually around 13:00 GMT+2).
Lately I had some interesting conversations with few of my developer friends regarding their opinions on which technology will rule the Rich Application Interfaces websites in the future. My strong believe is that there’s room for all four of these as per my experience and actual trends. More over, all these will have a separate slice of the market but overlap at only few areas. Let’s take AJAX as example – it is widely popular for creating rich user experience community building apps, portals, mash-ups and so on. On the other hand, Flex is used more for multimedia rich […]
Do you have a website and would like to post your tweets from it ? Or maybe you want to create a widget that posts weather on your twitter account? I encountered this situation and overcome it with the following script. It is pretty simple, but beware that JavaScript is run on CLIENT side, thus any code must be sent in clear.Since it is needed that you provide a password for your account, would not be so wise to put it in clear. NOTE: I use it for a Vista sidebar gadget, so only IE code is below. For FireFox […]
