// A short snippet for detecting versions of IE in JavaScript
// without resorting to user-agent sniffing
// ----------------------------------------------------------
// If you're not in IE (or IE version is less than 5) then:
// ie === undefined
// If you're in IE (>=5) then you can determine which version:
// ie === 7; // IE7
// Thus, to detect IE:
// if (ie) {}

Symphony Events: A Detailed Look

Forms have been an integral part of any interactive site since the dawn of time, they promote interactivity and are usually the most common way users interact with a site. It's commonplace that when a form is submitted, the website will take 'action' and do something with the data and then provide a user with the result. Symphony provides this logic layer via Events.

This tutorial assumes you have a basic understanding of how Events work in Symphony (if not, this may be a good introduction) and are semi comfortable writing some PHP code. I'll be showing you some of the lesser known features of Symphony Events, including event priority, event chaining and a brief demonstration of how to write a custom Event. The difficulty level progresses as we go through, but with any luck you'll be able to learn a thing or two :)

Getting Started

The Scenario

Our client requires a form that allows a user to submit some details about their new car purchase. Th

Improved swipe gestures plugin for jQuery

Improved swipe gestures plugin for jQuery

What was changed (compared to the original v0.1.2):

  • Don’t modify the default settings internally.
  • Merge the options recursively (deep copy) so that the custom threshold values actually get used.
  • Allow overriding the options globally through $.fn.swipe.options.
  • Use namespaced jQuery events (using the swipe namespace) instead of DOM2 addEventListener to prevent errors in old IEs.
  • Simplified and optimized code.
  • Changed swipeLeft and swipeRight functions to be called within the context of the bound element. Thanks, @kswedberg!

Anchor-include Pattern
/*
* anchor-include pattern for already-functional links that work as a client-side include
* Copyright 2011, Scott Jehl, scottjehl.com
* Dual licensed under the MIT
* Idea from Scott Gonzalez
* to use, place attributes on an already-functional anchor pointing to content
* that should either replace, or insert before or after that anchor
* after the page has loaded
* Replace: <a href="..." data-replace="articles/latest/fragment">Latest Articles</a>
* Before: <a href="..." data-before="articles/latest/fragment">Latest Articles</a>

Optimised async loading of cross-domain scripts

* Updated to use the function-based method described in http://www.phpied.com/social-button-bffs/
* Better handling of scripts without supplied ids.

* N.B. Be sure to include Google Analytics's _gaq and Facebook's fbAsyncInit prior to this function.
