Ferdinand.PhotoTag – Facebook like photo tagging

Vladimir Cvetic — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 14:21:57 +0000

I have just released very simple photo tagging solution. It works much like Facebook tagging and requires Prototype and optionally PHP5/MySQL (you can always make backend from scratch in any lang/db you wish… it requires novice skills).

Tested in Firefox, IE6+, Safari and Chrome.

Cross-Site XMLHttpRequest

Vladimir Cvetic — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 15:04:39 +0000

I’ve just finished writing up some docs on the new Cross-Site XMLHttpRequest feature in Firefox 3. I was a little worried at first, but it definitely appears to be both easy-to-implement and easy-to-use. Specifically, it’s an implementation of the W3C Access Control working draft (which is respected by Firefox’s XMLHttpRequest).

If you’re interested in giving it a try you should fire up your copy of Firefox 3 and get ready to take it for a spin.

In a nutshell, there are two techniques that you can use to achieve your desired cross-site-request result: Specifying a special Access-Control header for your content or including an access-control processing instruction in your XML.

JavaScript: PopupGUI 0.1

Few days ago I have created very simple JS class for creating popup html forms.
Task was pritty specific, create dynamic form interface with ajax form submission. Apon completition of the task I noticed that the class was pritty much plug&play so I decided to publish it here.

It has simple controls, you can show, hide and “save” the form. Show and hide will display layer and hide it (duh), and save will do a callback on some function which will do… what ever you want. Also there is a simple ajax apstraction that will help you do ajax callbacks.

When you call “#show_ElementID” element with “ElementID” will pop and behind it you will see full visible screen transparent shadow. This shadow provides some protection since it will stop user from doing some more actions which would flood his screen, also it looks cool :).

Well, here you go test it out in a demo… hope you can find some use for it.

REQUIREMENTS: script.aculo.us 1.7.0 (script.aculo.us)
DEMO: View Simple Demonstration
DOWNLOAD: PopupGUI 0.1
