RE: xml namespaces in jquery

i dont have an answer to your q (sorry) but was wondering what you make of jquery? i've just started a new project for upmystreet and we're using prototype/scriptaculous but just had a look at the jquery site and it looks quite neat. when are we goin...

jquery is great

I use it for everything, it's well recommended. I'm sure prototype is good now too, but jquery is tiny, and does everything you need, and the code you write with it is tiny too. I have got really into the way you select things to do things to too. As...

Mulled wine! And BEER!

This one's mostly for Dean, I know he likes to hear about how hard we're working at work. We're having another one of our fun days tomorrow, one last barbecue to celebrate a big deal working out, and everyone working hard to make it happen. Also, you...

My gigography

Just done some fiddling about on the site, rearranged the gigography a tiny bit. Now, first time you go there the big boring explanation of what it's all about should still appear at the top of the page. BUT, here's the clever bit, if you then click ...

Google Maps API + Thickbox

Had some trouble for a while at work with getting our google maps working with this thickbox, and I put it off for ages (telling people not to put a map in a lightbox), but today I got to the bottom of it. Don't load your map until the lightbox has l...

I've made a firefox plugin, to look up if a book's available in the library when you're viewing its page on Amazon. Normally I'd be sending people TO Amazon rather than from Amazon, hoping to make a commission, but here's where I give something back....

jquery not browser compliant enough for the BBC

It's political correctness gone mad!BBC explains here, this is GLOW, JQuery is DA BOMB! It's good for the BBC to innovate, but I'm not sure it's in anyone's interest (or the best use of license payer funds) to try to compete with EVERYBODY....

Last night, not me as it goes but Harry. I woke him up for the normal last feed of the night at 10.30, he guzzled greedily, went back to bed sucking his thumb and did not wake until just after 7am this morning. That's his first time of sleeping right...

Lunches for the week all made!

If you have an input called party[children] with a value of 5 and you use the new jquery .link() to link the form to an object, it creates { 'party[children]': 5 }instead of { party: { children: 5 } }like I would expect...This is something very new t...
