Easy Subclipse and Coldfusion Builder

Coldfusion

With the new Coldfusion Builder I had a hard time getting Subclipse to install.  I tried to get the 1.6.x version to install but it wanted MYLYN and I had had issues with it on my Aptana install.

So after messing around with it I got 1.4.x to install by unchecking MYLYN since it's optional.  Seems to be working fine so far.

Just a heads up in cae someone else was having an issue.

 

** UPDATE **

The Part I was missing was adding http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede before installing MYLN and then choosing select required.  Duh.

Settings max_allowed_packet MySQL

mySQL

This is just a little note on settings the max allowed packet in mysql without rebooting it.  I always forget how to do it when I neet to change it quickly for something.

set global max_allowed_packet = 32 * 1024 * 1024;

This will set it for 32 megs.  Change the 32 to have it larger or smaller.

Whitehouse uses Jquery.

Cool Stuff, javascript

Doing a view source on the new whitehouse.gov shows that they are using Jquery.  Just thought that was kinda cool.

Defaulting the cursor to the First input box on any page.

Cool Stuff, javascript

Here's a short and simple  javascript using Jquery to put the cursor in the first text box on a web page.  I added this to one of our sites to make sure the cursor starts in the different forms / search boxes on all the pages of our site.


<script>
  document.ready(function()){
   $("input[type='text']:first").select();
  };
</script>

It's using Jquery to find the FIRST :  INPUT tag with a TYPE="TEXT" on the page.  Then it selects it to move the cursor.

QForms + Jquery

javascript

Here is a few interesting tidbits some of you might already know, but I thought it was interesting.  I love using qForms. I know I could write my own validation using the forms plugin and other things in JQuery. I have used qForms for so long and have so many applications using it. They actually play nicely together and you get the best of both worlds.


Since QForms needs to be set after the form it can be in the document.ready() section of the  web page and it works great.  This also allows all your Javascript to be in the same place so you don't have to put it in the page after the form like you do without Jquery.

<script>
    document.ready(function(){
    objMyForm = new qForm(“frmMyForm”);
    objMyForm.myfield_1.required = true;
    objMyForm.myfield_1.description = ‘My test Field”;
});
</script>


It’s a simple thing but it makes using qForms even easier.
