Jeremy Massel's Blog » Javascript http://masseltech.com Because sometimes I have good ideas too Wed, 11 Aug 2010 17:16:58 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Pure PHP Pagination http://masseltech.com/2010/03/pure-php-pagination/ http://masseltech.com/2010/03/pure-php-pagination/#comments Tue, 16 Mar 2010 04:37:45 +0000 jeremy.massel http://masseltech.com/?p=162 So, for a while I’ve been looking for a ridiculously simple way to paginate data stored in a table. And while I love PHP, it just doesn’t come with some of the free things I take for granted in .Net

Today, while working on a pretty simple plugin, I wanted to add this functionality, and I didn’t want to waste a bunch of time. I was given a link to this great script: http://www.warkensoft.com/2009/12/paginated-navigation-bar/

It took me about a minute to implement the functionality. I then spent another 5 minutes doing CSS and that was it. Done. I’m not usually one for link sharing, but this made my life much easier. Hopefully it can make yours easier too.

The solution is pure PHP, no javascript required. Some day, I may try to expand upon this to include javascripty goodness, because that’s pretty much the only thing that could make it better

//tell javascript to run a function in 1 second
setTimeout ("myFunction()", 1000 );

function myFunction(){
//do stuff

//once the function is finished, queue this function up to run again in 1 second
setTimeout ( "myFunction()", 1000 );
}

  1. go to google maps, type the address, and click search
  2. once you’ve found it, go to your address bar and clear what’s in it
  3. paste: javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter())); into the address bar
  4. use the coordinates for whatever you wish!

Why, yes it would. Try:


Event.observe(window, 'load', function(){
     try {
          $('eventName').focus();
     } 

     catch (e) {}
});

after your </form> tag. This requires the prototype javascript library
