JQuery Sortable Drag and Drop lists and a server side AJAX save |
||||||||
I was recently asked this question about creating and using elements with the JQuery drag and drop functions:
1Shaun, I'd like to be able to drag items (let's say grocery items) onto a list (let's say a grocery list) using JQuery and PHP to process and save the list. I found you drag and drop tutorial but I want the droppable to be in a list form. Is this easy?
This article explains how you can use a few JQuery interactions to create a sortable drag and drop list and save its state to a server side processing template.

Creating in-cell drop down lists in Google Spreadsheets |
||||||||
I use Google Docs a lot, especially the Google Docs Spreadsheet format. Recently I wanted to give users the option of selecting one value from several pre-defined values rather than an open field. I thought that the best way to do this would be through a drop down list attached to the cell, but how to do this?

Using url rewriting ( .htaccess or httpd.ini ) to block hot linking resources |
||||||||
After my recent move to HostMediaUK I've been able to see more in depth statistics about one of my sites, including traffic and data usage. This also includes having visibility of other domains that are linking directly to my content. This is popularly known as hot linking, and if you haven't asked permission is considered very impolite.
This also uses up your servers bandwidth rather than theirs. This article explores how I use a URL access file, either .htaccess of http.ini depending on your platform, to stop other domains from linking directly to your hosted resources.
