Some example code for stripping out all non word characters. So only letters, underscores/spaces, and numbers. This would not be good for email sanitization, but could be good for other input fields. var search_term = $(‘.search_tag_input’).val(); // strip tags search_term = search_term.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)/ig,”"); //spaces as underscores search_term = search_term.replace(‘ ‘, ‘_’); //remove nonword characters (and underscores) [...]

So in some versions of IE, Suckerfish drop down menus show up behind Flash videos unless you add the WMODE parameters to the HTML code. Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag: <param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”> Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag: wmode=”transparent”
Or Business Development 2.0. This idea falls into the “ask for forgiveness, not permission” style of work, which I personally subscribe to. It’s an interesting article, my favorite paragraph is in the end: Traditional business development meant spending a lot of money on dry cleaning, animating your powerpoint, drinking stale coffee in windowless conference rooms [...]
Joomla uses Mootools as a Javascript framework by default, and also has a light-box effect called Squeezebox built in by default. It’s quite easy to add Squeezebox functionality to your Joomla template.
This is going to be a list of web development tools that I use. Right now, it’s pretty small. Inspired by this page from elementiks.com. Templates: Bulletproof Templates – Joomla Blank Skeleton Templates Sandbox by Plaintext – WordPress Blank Skeleton Template jQuery: Visual jQuery jQuery API
