I previously wrote about a cross browser copy and paste using jQuery.Copy. Everything was fine until flash updated to version 10. It now throws a security warning. Jojo pointed out that were was another plugin using the same concept that avoids this security warning. Enter Zero Clipboard
Dates in Javascript have always been a bit of a pain to work with because of the very limited API. Take this for example:
Parsing a date string and adding a week
var d = new Date(Date.parse("15/04/2009"));
d = d.setDate(d.getDate() + 7);
The above code is painful and unintuitive.
Enter DateJS
Ran into a bit of an issue today when I upgraded the jQuery on a website I was working on to the new 1.3.2 version. I got the following error:
Object doesn’t support this property or method.
There is a fix for this.
I got asked a question recently about ASP.NET Dynamic Data and how to customize the display text of foreign key dropdownlists/comboboxes
The exact question was “I have a foreign key to a list of store locations. Each location has an address but the default drop down only shows the state. How do I get it to show: “State - Region - StoreName”
