JavaScript – CSS debugging using FireBug

Often while working with JavaScript people place alerts (in a debugging context) throughout the code to check whether what they’re doing is correct or not. I find that pretty annoying and while I continued doing it (placing alerts) I came across Firebug introduced to be by my friend Sergey Arakelov (www.arakelov.com). Firebug is open source multi-purpose debugger and was initially intended for Firefox as a plug-in, now it supports IE and Safari as well.

SAJAX-Passing Arguments to PHP – Javascript and MySQL Database

 

In the last post I presented an overview of the SAJAX library. Today I will talk about argument passing to and from the SAJAX function and the respective JavaScript function.  Then I shall make a sample HTML form and pass the values to the PHP function for addition into a MySQL database. If you are new to SAJAX and don’t know what I’m talking about I suggest you view my earlier post which can be found at: http://garagedeveloper.wordpress.com/2009/01/09/using-ajax-with-php/

Using AJAX With PHP – The SAJAX Way

 

Right so the objective is to use PHP with AJAX to achieve what is normally known as “refresh less browsing”. When I started off with my work I had to deal with quiet a lot of forms which posted variables to  a PHP page and then I could use them either by query string or whatever method to display them. The only problem with this was that the page had to be refreshed. I had a vague idea about AJAX but never really got into using it until I really got fed up of page refreshes, so if you share the same enthusiasm (slightly) this might prove helpful.

Splash Screen – Design

So I got a wordpress theme and decided to make a splash screen which was at the top with one of my own because the orginal one, though was amazing but I couldnt actually understand what it was. So I opened photoshop entered the dimensions: 761×151 px how do i know that ? well in the themes section in the wordpress admin clicking on the custom image header shows these dimensions. Ok for the splash screen I had something in mind to make a garage with some grass and a guy with a shovel, something like a typical garage environment at the same time I wanted it to be all black white and shades of gray.Initially I made an ellipse assigned it the color grey and moved it down so one part of it stayed up the rest of it down, which doesnt get included so no harm done.
