jQtouch – create your iPhone application as a web application
Apr 24th
Yep, with just some web html/css/javascript knowledge you can create iPhone application. No joke! just trick. By using this JQtouch plug-in, you can create website that acts and behave just like a native iPhone application. I was pretty amazed at the idea, but it’s time to dig in and try it for yourself! I’m doing stuffs with it and I’d say I’m really impressed.
It can even store stuffs on your iPhone for offline viewing. Superb!
Note that I’ll be fiddling with this JQuery plugin in the next week or so, so you may expect some reviews and More >
Validate a simple form using JQuery
Apr 23rd
This is a way to validate a form using simple JQuery. Why re-invent the wheel when there’s so many type of wheels to choose from? and also, for sometimes, we are just lazy to find the best wheel possible for our project. What I’m trying to do here is not to spoon feed you the code, but to provide a simple and straight forward guide to very simple validation. I love simplicity
Let’s get straight to business! View it in action here.

A Very Simple Delete Confirmation dialog
Dec 6th
With Jquery of course
Ok, we often have to do delete button and have to do something about if the users click the button, an the delete action should not taken right away… What if the user doesn’t want to click the button but click it anyway (they are users, their actions are illogical but we still have to meddle around the problem). Around the usability stuff, a confirmation dialog is the mostly used, and if you are scared of this concept, you shouldn’t, because it’s so widely used.
This method is unobtrusive, meaning that even without javascript enabled, the delete button More >

Jquery Pagination System
Oct 13th
When you think of a pagination system, you would think about some messy PHP codes to generate each and every page. So subsequently, for an user who wants to browse through your pages, they will do a lot of calls to your PHP file and by that do a lot of calls to your database (a bad thing!). So, we want to load all the data from PHP/MySQL ONCE and have the pagination taken care of by Jquery.
Copy & Paste all of this code into a html file. Make sure you are online so that the browser can retrieve the More >
