mpAjax : multi-part Ajax responses

July 13th, 2009 - Frontend, jQuery - 1 Comments

“This plugin extends (but is still backward compatible with) the core $.ajax functionality to allow automatic parsing of responses for a special syntax of “multi-part responses”. If a response matches this format, the response will be split out and treated as multiple responses, each being called to the proper “success” handler. If the response doesn’t “look” like multi-part, then it falls through and behaves exactly as normal.”

You ‘ll find this plugin useful if:

• You need to return a block of HTML (without encoding/escaping it into JSON), and a separate JSON packet with data.
• You need to return an HTML template and some JSON data separately, without any obfuscation/encoding/escaping of either.
• You need to return some HTML, some JSON, and also some CSS, and handle all three types of data separately.
• You need to return two or more different blocks of HTML, and need to handle each separately.

Sexy Combo – a jQuery Plugin

February 25th, 2009 - Frontend, jQuery - 3 Comments

“Sexy Combo is a jQuery plugin that allows you to turn default browser selectboxes into much more attractive and usable comboboxes. The user can choose whether to select option from the dropdown list or just type it. This widget reaches its maximum efficiency when we have selectboxes with lots of options (e.g. countries or states), so it would be difficult for users to find option in the huge list.”

You can have a look at the demo page and see what Sexy Combo looks like.
