Ruby, Rails, Web2.0 » Blog Archive » Live Validation - Easy Client-side Javascript Validation
My library of choice is livevalidation, which has a Rails companion too - if you are using Rails form helpers and standard validation on your models, you don’t have to touch anything just install livevalidation (=drop it to your javascripts folder, it’s […]

You might notice that blur, focus and change events do not necessarily bubble. At Motionbox we use the following hack to subscribe to all form fields at dom ready and then fire custom events so you maintain the same interface to events as everything else.
We do two things in the JS that won't work [...]

This lets your users use their Google ID to log into any OpenID consumer. It seems that the google accounts page is supporting this now someone has implemented OpenID using Google's new AppEngine. That means Yahoo, AOL, Google all support OpenID... with pledged support from Microsoft. Why bother implementing your own system [...]

Sometimes you just have to like convenience. Using our EventHandler I was just able to write the following code:
PLAIN TEXT
JavaScript:
MOBX.HighlightTextField = (function() {
var highlightText = function (evt) {
var el = evt.element();
el.focus();
el.select();
};
MOBX.EventHandler.subscribe(".highlight_on_click", "click", [...]

Phusion Passenger — a.k.a. mod_rails — makes deployment of applications built on the revolutionary Ruby on Rails web framework a breeze. It follows the usual Ruby on Rails conventions, such as “Don’t-Repeat-Yourself”.

Motionbox EventHandler
For those who use propotype instead YUI, here is an implementation of the bubbling core routine for Propotype, I never tested it, but it's seen like a good implementation.

Most of this is taken from this post.
However, that post had an error (for my account) so I did the following:
Make sure you replace < > with your dreamhost user name.
$mkdir ~/src
$ cd ~/src
$ wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.5.4.rc4.tar.gz
$ tar xzf git-1.5.4.rc4.tar.gz
$ cd git-1.5.4.rc.tar.gz
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/< >/packages NO_CURL=1 NO_MMAP=1
$ make
$ make install
$ git --version
That should return:
git version 1.5.4.rc4
And [...]

So it would seem either Salar Kamangar, Vice President, Product Management had no clue HuddleChat was an "Attack of the Clones" app or he gave the greenlight for a product launch knowing many in the developer community would likely view Google App Engine as a Xerox machine [...]

I'm sure everyone and their mother has written but: Google has released their new cloud computing platform called AppEngine.
It looks to be pretty cool with a nice amount of free cycles. It'll be interesting to see how Amazon responds (maybe we'll get some free EC2 ammounts?).
Right now AppEngine only supports python but they [...]
