Selecting All Items in a Multi-Select Box
Posted: 5th May 2010 by Adam Presley in Development, JavascriptTags: Development, Javascript, jQuery
Here’s a quick jQuery tidbit. If you ever need to select or unselect all items in a muti-select box (a <select> tag set to allow multiple selected items), here’s a jQuery selector to do it. $("#selectBox *").attr("selected", "selected"); Notice the asterisk after the ID selector? That tells jQuery to get ALL child elements of the [...]

Using jqGrid with ColdFusion
Posted: 19th March 2010 by Adam Presley in ColdFusion, Development, JavascriptTags: ColdFusion, Development, Javascript, jQuery

It has a very impressive list of features, wide support for various incoming data formats, and is an all around solid solution. For us ColdFusion developers, however, just trying to “plug it in” [...]
The Joys of NOT Using CFWDDX
Posted: 19th February 2010 by Adam Presley in ColdFusion, JavascriptTags: ColdFusion, Development, Javascript
I had the pleasure of working an issue just the other day where an internal web application didn’t seem to be responding.
