Comment on Remove jQuery From Your WordPress Theme by Dale

I am new to wordpress and was wondering if you could tell me what plugin you are using to display your codes like you did above? I really like the look and would like to be able to place html/css/java/php and etc in my posts and comments that allow the look you have above.

I know this is off topic and really appreciate a response. Thanks!

Comment on The Quotator – The JSON Driven HTML Rotator by Melissa

Love this simple rotator. Exactly what I needed for my client. I can’t get the speed to change tho. I’ve tried slowing down the speed in the ‘quotator.js’ file here:
{
speed : 4000,
json : “quotator_quotes.js”
}

I’m made the speed 1000 and as high as 10000, but the speed stays the same. Am I missing something?

Any help would be appreciated.

Comment on Developer Tools In Safari by Merrick Christensen

It’s funny you would say that right now primarily because Firefox 4 has been release and seems pretty beloved. But as for me, I’ll still with Chrome/Webkit . Thanks for the activity on the site Paul D.

Brand loyalty is keeping me with Firefox, but I know what you mean. I tried Chrome but just don’t trust it is not sending my info to Google. (I know it probably is not – I just can’t get over the feeling I am being spied on).

IE9 actually looks quite good, but as a site builder, I still hate the bugs in ie and am fed up doing all the workarounds – like at the moment I cant get a certain png file to not have a crappy black blur around it only on IE8.

Perhaps I should not be so tied into one browser like firefox, which is now (it seems) slower than ever and feels bloated.

Perhaps I will try Safari again given your recommendation, the developer tools it has I did not know about.

Best wishes,

Paul.

Comment on Making Every Specified Link Send Via Ajax Using MooTools by Paul D

I still have not had a chance to really use this after an initial play/test, because I have started using jQuery which is a bit more accessible for me. MooTools seems a bit more of a pro coders tool.

@sol, the use of ajax in small measures can change the whole feel and quality of a site. You would probably not use it to import a whole new pages worth of content, but as Merrick said, for small bits of extra info or extra content from any database, it is invalueable. As an example, retrieving a users profile, so without leaving a comments page, you could see the profiles of the members that have commented.

While it depends a lot on the use case, often times it is beneficial from a user experience side to pull information using AJAX rather than a full page refresh. By no means does this post recommend only using AJAX ever but using ones intellect to decide when a good time and place for it is. For example, pulling in footnotes, or more detailed contact information.

Comment on The jQuery Comment Previewer by Anuj

This is really a nice plugin but I have a small issue, when user enters a long line comment than the preview section is exceeding the limits. Can’t we impose new line when the line length reaced to the textbox length ?

Thanks

Hello..

quick question.. what is the benefit of accessing a link using AJAX rather than actually going to that page ?

I’m a little confused on this one.

thanks
