A while back we wrote an article on how to fade images in and out from a single directory using jQuery and another plugin, but today we’re going to add…actually we’re going to totally redo the way we did it in the past. The new way should leave a much smaller footprint.

I noticed in the pew there was a prayer request card already filled out, so I got it out and took a quick look at to find this:

Please pray for:
Johnny because he got a big nose

Reason for request:
He need help with his nose

Please help
thank you

Kids are so honest.

Out of all the gifts I received this Christmas, none touched my heart as much as the cards given to me from my 7 year old daughter Makenzy. I remember my parents telling me when I was younger all they wanted for Christmas was for me to make them something. Now I understand why they said that.

Below are the cards that she made for me this year. Hope you all had a great Christmas and a happy new year.

I was feeling a little nosey, so I thought I would look in on you and see if you are sitting at your computer…

Yup, there you are!

Have a Great Day!

The wife has been on my case to get the Christmas lights up for a couple of weeks now.

I put them up for her and now she won’t talk to me. There’s just no pleasing the woman!

I’m just finishing up a little project to improve the search ability on a website and I want to display an image and message say “loading…” until the script finished running. Below is an easy way to do that.

UPDATE: Please view the updated way to do this that is a little more practical in most cases.

First just make sure you have the latest version of jQuery.

 loading...

Now let’s see what all is going on.

First we’re calling jQuery’s ready() event which “binds a function to be executed whenever the DOM is ready to be traversed and manipulated.” (basically allows us to run any thing within the function after the page has completely loaded)

Next we’re using the get Ajax function to call the “script.php” page along with a variable to access in the “script.php”.

Once that script has finished running, we replace what was inside the “text_box” DIV with the response from the “script.php” file.

You can do any kind of script within the ready() function. The basic idea is have a DIV preloaded with the text or image and have jQuery replace what’s inside the DIV when it’s finished running.

BTW: If you’re looking for a sweet AJAX loading GIF, check out www.ajaxload.info.

About once a week I have this issue with Synergy where it will capitalize all the characters and start automatically holding downing the Ctrl key on the client machine. I tried to changing the settings in the options, but I still had the problem. Oddly enough a co-worker had the same problem who found an “elegant solution” to this problem.

Just hit Ctrl + Alt + Delete on the server machine and then close the Task Manager (or hit cancel if you’re logged in). For some odd reason this seems to fix the problem every time.
