2012 Big Bloggers Dander for Dosh - Invitation!
Wed, Jan 25th 2012 4:44p Steve McDonagh He ho gentle readers!
Christmas is over and the new year brings a whole new horizon of wonderful exciting things to stick 2012 after (or before). So since the "Extraordinary Elsmores" have set the dates for UKLUG 2012 to be 3-4 September, it seemed like a good idea to arrange the 2nd Big Blogger Dander for Dosh around the same time - currently we are looking at the 25th August or the 1st September.
Now the 2011 Dander for Dosh raised over £3000.00 for the Famine In East Africa - which [read] Keywords: blogger

Designing for the Colour Blind
Wed, Dec 21st 2011 4:33p Steve McDonagh Today I was whinging about getting yet another email, nothing odd in getting emails you may think, however for me as a colour blind person, sending me an email that is written in a colour I cannot see properly just ends up as being grey and if the colour is a bright colour it is a light gray on a white background. This is deeply deeply annoying so I tweeted my discomfort and sent a polite but firm email to the sender asking them to send emails to me in a format that I would easily read.

"Pain in the Arse" problem found in 853 client pre-roll out testing
Fri, Dec 16th 2011 4:38a Steve McDonagh During Lotus Client testing of 853 we have come across a problem that it is perhaps wise to be aware of.
If you have the following set of circumstances 1. You have laid out a forms elements in a table 2. You display the form in a Frameset, page or Dialog box 3. You have not explicitly set a Background Colour in all the cells of the table 4. Your First cell in the table has an explicit Background Colour set

jQuery 1.7 Event Delegation.. Gitanes and whisling at girls are they walk by
Tue, Dec 13th 2011 5:33p Steve McDonagh In the wonderful world of JS event listeners cost memory.
Lots and lots of memory!
In today's shiney shiney click,drag swipe an pinch world has a whole heap of event listeners floating around smoking cheap ciggarettes, whistling at the girls and generally making your web site perform badly. But all is not lost jQuery provides some really easy methods for handling event
listeners efficiently through the wonders of event delegation.
In a bit of an extreme example but hey we are Domino Deve [read] Keywords: domino

Ye Godz TheTroubledGeek.com gets an email!
Sun, Dec 4th 2011 1:09p Steve McDonagh It was many moons ago that awesome team of Fabulous Francie and Professor Ignatius Gonad IV were called upon by a member of the liaty to answer one of their problems. Sadly the domain is no longer active ... it is a long story which I may be allowed to tell some day when they lift the court orders. However the questioner got around this knowing that I was a close friend of Ignatius Gonad and knew I that would be able to contact him and sent me the email and I am very glad to be able to reproduc [read] Keywords: collaboration

Tidying up closed jQuery UI Tabs
Thu, Oct 13th 2011 9:10a Steve McDonagh A wee tip:
If you use jQuery UI tabs you may have noticed the that .remove() method does not really get rid of the tab, it clears the.html() and hided the [div] container. Now that is fine and dandy if you have a app that people dip into infrequently, however if you app stays open all day and users are opening and closing tabs frequently and not refreshing the page the tabs are on .. then your DOM can get very heavy with unused [div]s. An easy way to get rid of them is to use this wee bit of [read] Keywords: blogger

Interesting wee additional method for Lotusscript (yes you read that right)
Thu, Sep 15th 2011 6:13a Steve McDonagh Well I never!
Yes you did read the title of this post correctly I have discovered a NEW thing in Lotusscript.
I know I too had to sit down and have a long cup of tea and a biccie to recover from the shock not only that there is something new but (a) it is useful and (b) it works really well.
I speak of NotesView.ReSortView("columnname",AscendingFlag)
Now what this does, although not explicit in the help is , if you have a view and the columns have the "Click on column headers to [read] Keywords: agent

.o0( Why shosuld I use Browser Prefixes in CSS ?)
Wed, Sep 7th 2011 2:11p Steve McDonagh Browsers don't ya just love em? We wait with baited breath for each new iteration of our favourite window onto the internet and with each new version we devs get new toys to play with. Now the Browser writers (well all of them except the ****wits that write IE) like the new stuff that is coming down the tuvbes from the W3C however there are things that are no yet at Cadidate Recommentation status, so they add a browser specific prefix in front of the property so that the particular rendering en [read] Keywords: blogger
