I just finished a new project called HighlightMyCode. The goal is simple: to provide Syntax highlighting for your code snippets on the fly. Just paste your code, select a language and a theme and you’re done. You’ll get a small piece of javascript to embedded your highlighted snippet on your site.
It’s basically the same idea […]
I just finished the first version of SilverIPE, a lightweight, cross-browser in place editor. Some of it’s features include:
Cross-Browser (Tested with IE 5,6&7 - Firefox 2&3 - Safari 2&3 - Opera)
No dependencies. Only 1 javascript file to include, that’s it
Easy to use
Well documented
The documentation, examples etc. can be found on the SilverIPE’s page. If you […]
Well, I decided to put together my own XMLHttpRequest wrapper. Not because we don’t have enough choice already but mostly because:
I needed some Javascript practice (without using a framework like mootools)
I wanted to learn more about the XMLHttpRequest object
I love mootools and prototype’s XMLHttpRequest wrapper and wanted something similar without having to use a whole […]
Well, after trying to find what the problem was with my script (it was working well in Firefox, but not in IE, sounds familiar??) I realized that Internet Explorer doesn’t like null to be passed as the second parameter to Function.apply…
According to Mozilla’s documentation, the second parameter to Function.apply should be:
An argument array for the […]
I started to put together a (long) list of changes between MooTools 1.1(1) and MooTools 1.2. Hopefully this will help people porting their script to the new MooTools version.
Personally I think that nothing beats spending an hour or two reading the new documentation but apparently some people don’t have the patience to do it! :P […]
Well I just finished a first working versions of mooslides, a sliding panel widget for mootools. It was inspired by all those sites (gamespot, tv.com etc.) using flash sliding panel widgets. I’m pretty sure a similar widget already exists for mootools, haven’t looked actually, but eh it had been a while since I had some […]

Yes, MooBBCode is a port of BBCode to javascript, with the help of mootools. The goal is to eventually plug it into NAWTE.
It features:
Smilies
Quotes
Links, email links
2-way parsing (to html or to bbcode)
much more…
Just head out here to read more about it, or check out a demo here.

Recently, I had to come up with a multiple file upload form that works with the file_column plugin. My site was already using mootools as it’s main JS framework so I wanted to come up with a solution that would be mootools friendly.
Luckily, I found this great mootools plugin that handles multiple file upload in […]

Anyone who is on a small VPS (256mb in my case) knows how resources can run low pretty quickly! Especially if you are trying to run both a Rails site and a PHP site on it. Pretty much any stack you chose (whether it is nginx with mongrel, or lighttpd with fastcgi or mongrel etc..) […]

One mistake that I always seem to make is when it comes to choosing between a has_one/belongs_to relationship or simply a belongs_to relationship… I always forget which one should be used in which situation. Well now I’m writing it here so hopefully I remember!
Case 1)
has_one/belongs_to example: Let’s use an example to illustrate when this relationship […]
