Javascript Object declared within another Object

July 10, 2009 by Annyce Davis

In order to declare a Javascript object inside another one you would need to enter code similar to what is below.


var book = {
title: 'Nothing new!',
author: {name: 'Annyce', email:'annyce@gmail.com'}
};

You could then reference the author’s name via:
book.author.name

and if you wanted to update the name of the author, you would use
book.author.name = ‘Sarah’;

This feature of Javascript becomes very useful when you attempt to create an object with default settings and so forth.

Case Insensitive jQuery :contains Selector

June 26, 2009 by Annyce Davis

This is useful because for some reason the :contains selector in jQuery is not case-insensitive. BTW the code below works with jQuery 1.3.


jQuery.expr[':'].contains = function(a,i,m){
return jQuery(a).text().toUpperCase()
.indexOf(m[3].toUpperCase())>=0;
};

OnClick Event with a Variable

June 25, 2009 by Annyce Davis

Ok so finally I found this amazing post that answers a question that has been driving me insane the past two days…How can I pass a variable to an onclick event with a link that I just created dynamically in JavaScript. And then I come across this post and it just makes so much sense; why didn’t I think of it myself.

Anyway, if you ever have the same question here is the link…

Kill Processes on a MacBook

June 16, 2009 by Annyce Davis

I was trying desperately to uninstall MySQL on my new MacBook Pro. I received a few weird messages that the ‘mysql.sock’ was running and I didn’t know how to shut it down. Finally after searching through many, many blogs I found the solution.

I needed to view the list of processes, get the process id and then kill the process. Here’s how you do it.

To see a list of processes type below in the Terminal:
ps uxww

To end the processes type below in the Terminal:
kill process_id process_id

example:
ps uxww
kill 2345 2455
