ZOMG! jQuery!

ZOMG I figured out some jQuery today.. so stoked, used to look sooo very very wierd to me. glad I worked it out when I did actually. Its not hard to learn, its just got wierd syntax which makes life a little bit difficult, I mean using the $ instead of jQuery, getElementbyId AND getElementbyClass was a bit difficult to grasp.

Oh well, its working now. and I fucking love it!

$(document).ready(function() {
 
	$('content').ready(function() {
		if($.browser.mozilla && $.browser.version.substr(0,3) == "1.9") {
			$('#content').toggleClass('mozillaborder');
				$('#leftCorner').css('display', 'none');
					$('#contentSpacer').css('display', 'none');
						$('#rightCorner').css('display', 'none');
		}
	});
 
	$('content').ready(function() {
		if($.browser.safari && $.browser.version.substr(0,3) == "53") {
			$('#content').toggleClass('webkitborder');
				$('#leftCorner').css('display', 'none');
					$('#contentSpacer').css('display', 'none');
						$('#rightCorner').css('display', 'none');
		}
	});
 
});

.mozillaborder {
 
	-moz-border-radius-topleft:30px;
	-moz-border-radius-topright:30px;
	padding-top:15px!important;
 
}
 
.webkitborder {
 
	-webkit-border-top-left-radius:30px;
	-webkit-border-top-right-radius:30px;
	padding-top:15px!important;
 
}

Basically.. it replaces my corner images with the new -moz-border-radius attribute on my website when shown in mozilla, I will do this again for safari(and chrome when supported by jQuery.browser)

More to the point, I got something done in jQuery, I honestly struggled through javascript this year, it hasnt been my forte, but PHP has been so much fun!

Anyway, That is all.

EDIT – it now works for safari too!, Can’t wait til the other browsers support this and I can add more jQuery!

EDIT 2 – it works in chrome now. By removing the 1 and switching the safari substr() to 0,2 it means it works with 530.0->539.9 of webkit, then I’ll look for another work around.

Easy Twitter/Website Integration!

Below is an extremely simple piece of code to bring in up to 5 twitter “tweets”, each styled by a div class called ‘tweet’.

Ugh. Sick of Wordpress. SO SO SICK of it.

Wordpress has been a dog lately. Its taking up more memory than its allowed(which is already at 8MB or something!), Memory is something PHP Dev’s should never have to deal with IMO, but apparently its reared its ugly head. Its got me thinking though. By the years end I think I’ll have made my own CMS for my purposes, and anyone who wants to host a simple Blog/Portfolio CMS, maybe with a forum but thats doubtful.

Theres just too much bloat in wordpress, and I’ve seen its being hacked lately!(Smashing Magazine)

I also had some problems with widgets before.. thats kind of a pain in the neck when one disappears.. ended up going through the database and I just don’t wana talk about it..

On another note, Heres an awesome video!
