It looks like the old range syntax is still supported; the new syntax is strictly an addition.

Seems worth noting; I was initially alarmed when I stumbled over this.

But that’s the problem. Other than using a blender, your examples DON’T “just work”. With TVs you have to make sure that your equipment, signal, media, etc all line up in a certain fashion. Want to watch a BluRay at 1080P? Not on that Emerson 32″ tube that you’ve had since 2000. Cool, you went and got a spiffy new 52″ LG LED LCD, now you can watch that BluRay at 1080P, right? I mean it says so right on the TV’s box that it supports that. Wait, I need an HDMI cable? WTF is that? They cost HOW much?

Or driving your car. Sure you can get in, turn your key and hope it starts up. But if you don’t do regular maintenance it’s a crap-shoot. ::Turn:: ::CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK:: Ah #$%&. Is that the battery? The ignition? The clutch? The flux capacitor? How the eff should I know? I just fix computers.

“Computers that just work”. Let me think… Does iPhone ring a bell? Already done. The expectations of techies and of regular users are very different things. Want another name? iPad. Already done. Pick another battle.

Comment on Add Drupal Forms using AJAX by Kurt Jarchow

I didn’t delete it, just didn’t get a chance to approve it yet. Despite adding many spam blockers they seem to still flood my comments.

Replace this.url with the url of your form. this.url will actually only work if you are using a link.

Yes, the form should be submit without refreshing the page.

Let me know how it goes!

Hi, I left a comment here a couple of days ago. Why did you delete it?

Hi Kurt,

I’m trying to follow your example and I achieved to display the form via AJAX. But then the problem comes when hitting the “Submit” button. It jumps to the ‘url’ that I indicated in the ajax call.

In your code you have this.href ¿What exactly is that url?

What happens in your case when you hit “submit”.. stays in the same webpage (as Facebook comments, or jumps/refresh the page?)

I know that this post is 1 year ago and probably you don’t remember anymore about it, but it will be a great help. Thanks

Hi,

I’ve created a guide on how to install LocalSolr onto the windows platform using Solr 1.4 as a starting point. Some of your readers may find it helpful. If so here is the link:

Comment on My first Google Wave Embeddy by Craig

Even though I have a Google Wave account it won’t let me see the “Embeddy”. It wants me to sign into wavesandbox.com and my account doesn’t work there
