I'm troubleshooting some issues with menus closing and when I alert the return value from something like: Code: --------- timer = setTimeout("closeMenu(id)",500); --------- I get 2,3,4. It seems to increment. Does that just represent how many times the timeout code has been executed?

A New Alternative to TinyMCE

However, this new editor, known as MooEditable, uses the MooTools javascript framework rather than implementing everything with its own libraries and frameworks. It appears to be lighter weight than the full [...] Related posts:TinyMCE 3.2.4 Released TinyMCE and Tooltips Nice Alternative to Launchcast

Augmenting YUI3 Module Objects

Updated: 2009-12-15 08:13:40

M att S nider.com Home RSS Feed Table of Contents Tags Archives About Options Augmenting YUI3 Module Objects by Matt Snider December 15, 2009 12:13 pm In YUI 2 augmenting a library class is as simple as appending functions to the static object or modifying the prototype of a non-static object . Augmenting objects in YUI 3 is almost as easy , differing only in the augmentation having to be applied inside of a YUI( add( function . Although , augmenting objects is not difficult , it feels complicated until you become used to the YUI 3 way of coding . This article will cover how to augment the objects in the YUI 3 library . To start , think about your application . Ask yourself , if you include a common set of YUI 3 modules on every page , or if each page uses a disparate set . If you include the same modules files on every page , then you can consolidate your augmentation into a single file yui3-ext.js otherwise , you may want to have a file for the augmentation of each module yui3-node.ext.js yui3-widget-ext.js etc . When you want to apply your augmented objects , the location of the code needs to be defined in YUI( function . Example 1 : Making Augmentation Code Available to YUI(

For those of you that upgraded to Photoshop CS4, you may have noticed that the “Extract” filter is missing from the program.

Cross Subdomain Scripting

Updated: 2009-12-09 18:30:40

M att S nider.com Home RSS Feed Table of Contents Tags Archives About Options Cross Subdomain Scripting by Matt Snider December 9, 2009 10:30 am Since the early days , browsers have prevented cross-site scripting by ensuring that JavaScript cannot access files loaded from another domain , such as the source of an iframe . Unfortunately , the same logic was applied to subdomains , so JavaScript code on subdomain1.mattsnider.com cannot access subdomain2.mattsnider.com This causes problems if you organize your site by subdomains that need to communicate with each other via JavaScript or AJAX . Fortunately , browser makers added the document.domain property to allow you to change the domain used for page origin checks to a parent domain , instead of the subdomain . This means that if I wanted subdomain1.mattsnider.com to be able to communicate with subdomain2.mattsnider.com I would need to set document.domain= mattsnider.com in a script tag in the head of each page . This causes the browser to treat both sites as coming from mattsnider.com when performing the site-origin security check , allowing them to access each other . Now document.domain only works with a parent domain to the

Strong Server-Side Parameter Validation

Updated: 2009-12-03 18:13:55

M att S nider.com Home RSS Feed Table of Contents Tags Archives About Options Strong Server-Side Parameter Validation by Matt Snider December 3, 2009 10:13 am Most web applications require the end-user to submit form data to the server , whether through a tradition web form or via AJAX . Anytime a server receives a request with parameters , the server-side code should assume that the request is malicious . At the very least a developer should ensure that SQL and or JavaScript code is not injected . However , a developer should know what the acceptable values are for a parameter and be able to validate against those acceptable values . Today we will look at validating parameters using regular expressions to restrict the allowed characters . Example 1 : RequestParameterParser Class class RequestParameterParser public function construct($data this-_data data Validation Methods convert the parameter to a Boolean private function convertToBoolean($value if null value value strtolower($value return value t value true value on value null public function getBoolean($parameterName , allowNull=true value this-_validateParameter($parameterName , this-BOOLEAN , allowNull return
