jQuery Twitter API plugin

UPDATE: Plugin has been updated! For more up to date information read this post. You might have noticed that I am talking and spending more time on Twitter lately.

Anyway, after I found a Twitter JSON(P) API

Lock user interface plugin – uiLock

I was asked to create a user interface locker using jQuery. The main idea behind was to lock all user interactions with the website while jQuery AJAX loads block contents and unlock when content is loaded. So I thought I would share the code and released it as a jQuery plugin called uiLock. The plugin extends jQuery and adds two main functions called $.uiLock(); and $.uiUnlock(); Here is how to

Twitter JSON/JSONP API URL

It is Friday and we don’t want to read long posts and tutorials. So today’s post is going to be short and sweet. I’ve been playing a lot with Twitter lately. I wrote some jQuery and javascript functions that get user details, etc. I will share it with you next week. But for today, I would like to share Twitter’s JSON and JSONP API URL. I am sharing it because it was hard to find it first. I

AJAX update content every X seconds

I was asked several times on Twitter how to update some web page section or a block content on a page every x seconds. Some real life examples of this functionality are Twitter search results that come out when there are new tweets with search keyword or bit.ly real time link tracking that updates it’s charts every 5 seconds. It is clear without saying that we are going to update our page

Get geographical location (geolocation) by IP address using jQuery

Today I came across this post called “IP Address Geolocation Javascript API : JSON”. The author provides you with a free geolocation query URL. The API returns the geographical location of the queried IP address with some additional information such as: { 'status':'ok', 'IP': '74.125.45.100', 'CountryCode': 'US', 'CountryName': 'United States', 'RegionName': 'California', 'ZipPostalCode':

Shorten long URLs with jQuery & bit.ly service

I recently signed up to twitter and actively engaging with people who are interested in jQuery. Twitter is a great service and there are all kinds of developers who are sharing interesting links and resources. So it is some kind of interest news group for me. Since you can only have 140 characters in your post, sharing long links limits you. URL shortening services to the rescue. There are lots

Cross domain AJAX querying with jQuery

The technique will help you resolve the access to restricted uri denied" code: "1012 problem.

jQuery image swap or How to replace an image with another one using jQuery

Swapping one image with another is probably one of the most used javascript techniques. Also Dreamweaver made “image replacement” even easier for non HTML/Javascript programmers by including this feature out of the box. One thing about Dreamweaver’s image swapping javascript is that it’s not the most beautiful javascript code. Well, as always with anything javascript related, jQuery is to the

Select text in input box on user select or focus

A colleague of mine who is not very javascript or for that matter jQuery aware asked me to help him to do a little trick with jQuery. He needed to select the contents of the input box when user selects it (when onfocus event is fired basically). Selecting a text in your inputbox on focus is easy and actually 3 lines of jQuery code, but it add a nice usability touch to your site. This “select all

Display loading GIF image while loading through AJAX

Well, let's face it, AJAX is everywhere. Nowadays clients want AJAX "enabled" web applications. They want their web sites to be Web2.0 and that is usually associated with using AJAX.

Problems with jQuery mouseover / mouseout events

Today I have a quick note for you that will probably save you time someday. Basically it’s a workaround for a bug when you have parent element with children elements and parent element has mouseover or mouseout event. Moving your mouse over children elements may fire mouseout event of their parent. This is caused by event bubbling / propagation and if you would like to have a quick solution just

jQuery AJAX functions (load(), $.get(), etc.) are not loading new page versions problem

Today I would like to share with you a quick solution to the common problem when your AJAX calls to some page that changes over time is not being loaded to your page. In other words, jQuery or your browser is not loading new version of the page. This problem is common in Mozilla Firefox (FF). Internet Explorer (IE) users I believe, do not experience this problem. Usually it occurs when you use
