Wanted to throw out a quick blurb that I have updated my apMessageBox component.

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 [...]

Here’s a quick little post regarding a question I got today. I was asked how one could parse the URL to get the parameters and do something with them. The first order of business is to know that the URL address can be found in a variable tied to the window object called location. The [...]

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. At first I suspected some type of bug in environment configuration, or some other type of obscure thing. The app worked in other environments, so that was my first suspicion. After a bit [...]

For those that have a small case of “Mac envy”, this post is for you (and me, honestly). One of the neatest things about the Mac OS user interface is the “fisheye” menu at the bottom of the screen. You know the one, where there is a dock bar with icons on it, and when [...]
