Dav's Rants and Random Thoughts

I don't know how many other developers out there choose to use vim/gvim for writing Javascript code, but I have created a couple of useful files for vim to help. (Being the old-skool hacker I am) I have modified the stock javascript syntax file to include a few of the YUI methods and I have modified the stock javascript Omni Completion autocomplete file to include them as well. You can get the first version of these files here.

I have updated my calendar examples to include the changes for YUI Version .12. The following examples have been updated:

• YUI: Calendar Row Selection
• YUI: Calendar Attached to Text Input
• YUI: Calendar with tooltip selected days

UPDATE: I added 2 more calendar examples that aren't in this list:

• YUI: Calendar more than one text input
• YUI: Calendar more than one date selection

I have updated the GridsBuilder. It is a very minor update to include a couple of bug fixes and some simple enhancements. Most notably I have added the dp.SyntaxHighlighter to the Show Code feature. Let me know if you see any issues.

Hey all -- The site may be suffering a bit due to the GridBuilder being placed on various del.icio.us popular lists. So I have updated the GridBuilder to make it a bit lighter (from 3.7 sec download to a 1.6 sec download). I have also added some info in the Show Code and the About windows to point to the YUI CSS Grids. Let me know if you find any issues..

Well, I participated in another HackDay this Thursday and Friday. I can't tell you what my hack was about, but I can say that it was pretty kewl and got a warm reception from others at the event.

Here are a couple of photos of me at the event, well the photos aren't of me, but I am in them.. 8-)

Enjoy
Update: Well it turns out that I won Best Hack for my submission.
