I'm looking to learn how to build something that detects key-presses in order to throttle a function. Something like: var LastKeyPress; function hitTheServer() { if LastKeyPress > 2 seconds ago { hit the server and do stuff LastKeyPress = now(); } } What do you think? Maybe this is built into jQuery? Also, its something that...
Hi - I'm having what I hope is a simple-to-fix issue. Basically, I've got one block of javascript containing the function, and then I'm trying to call it from another block of javascript (within a jQuery $(document).ready function). Whilst it works fine on Firefox, I get an 'Object Expected' error in IE7. It's probably something to do w...
I'm new to JQuery and I'm trying to use it to implement an enhancement in an old web application. I'm gathering a list of strings from a server and rendering each one of them in its own anchor tag such that they appear in a comma delimited list. I assign that generated markup to a span's inner html: $.getJSON("http://domain/restOfURL"...
I am trying to clone a template of a which will be populated with data and then inserted into a table. I'm currently able to use the same .clone() function with other elements on the same page but jQuery refuses to see and clone the template (I'm guessing because its not a block element). Here is the template: <tr id="search_result_...

I'd been reading up on implementing ajax with jquery. Am I right to say, $.ajax() is the only function we ever need? ie. we don't actually need the $.get $.post functions? Lastly, lets say we're building this ajax form, we should bind the $.ajax function to a submit button using .click? We don't actually need to enclose the button in a...

Take this site for example: ToastMaster I would like to store a primary title, main content, images, etc on my site witho...
I'm not sure why, but if you have an element with contenteditable enabled, the first time you enter a space, it'll append a <br> tag into the element. If the element has a space in it by default (<p contenteditable="true">this is a test</p>), it'll be fine, but as soon as the user hits that spacebar (or even copy+pastes a space characte...

I'm using jquery's qtip plugin to draw a tooltip, and it works fine on FF but not on my versions of IE. It looks like for IE, the plugin uses vml tags instead of canvas tags. Is there something extra I need to include in my page to get the little arrow tip to show? Here's my simple html page; note that when you mouse over "tooltip tar...

I'm using the latest version of jFeed with the latest jQuery. I know jFeed is rather outdated, and no longer supported, but firefox seems to be the only browser that is having an issue parsing an RSS feed using this setup. I've modified jFeed to pull a 'date' field which is in the XML node "dc:date". The only thing I can think of is fire...
