JQuery Tip #1 : $(function() { });
Hey! A quick tip about JQuery that I don't feel like writing a giant tutorial about (besides, you're probably still making your way through the last two).
Suppose you want to execute a function only when the DOM is loaded, but not the actual document. You could use an onload= handler, which is very glitchy and only works when the document is COMPLETELY done loading, not just the structure. That's not good! Why don't we use some jquery goodies to help out instead?
- Code:
$(function() {
And that's all you need. Anything after that and before a }); will be executed as soon as the DOM is created and stabilized.
This is an important function and is both useful and versatile. Don't forget it!
I recently wrote a code, zEdit; I'm sure most of you know this, as I bet more than half of my posts are in that topic, and that's where you probably got the link to this blog. Well, IE was not happy with zEdit. It kept erroring out Operation Aborted. Generation Studio pointed out that I was modifying the DOM before it was fully created, which as most of us know, IE has a problem with (along with too many semicolons and the odd mood swing). Thanks to the $(function(){ function, I was able to execute the code only when IE was done chewing up HTML. Yay!

zEdit V. 1.2 Coming Soon
Hey guys!
Just thought I'd fill you in as to what you can expect from the new version of zEdit.
Bugs Fixed
1. You can now edit the first post of a topic with zEdit. I am currently debating whether or not to allow topic title/description editing as well..thoughts?
2. The edit button is no longer removed when editing a post. I have no idea why I wrote this in, but I have removed it, so no problems.
Features Added
1. Smooth sliding action to bring in/bring out post (TENTATIVE)
2. Admin-set option to use just double click, just quickedit button or both; user-set option coming soon.
Not too many things added/fixed, but these were inhibiting the interface so I thought I'd release it anyway.
Coming soon!
