Inspiration: Building Web Apps
Posted: 13th Jan 2010
If you have an idea for a web app and you don't believe that it will be successful or you don't think you have the time to build it, think again. It is possible!
I want to share with you how I was inspired to build a web app of my own for a particular need in my life, and how I was able to build it and launch it successfully in just three months.

jQuery for Beginners
Posted: 23rd Nov 2009
Following my article on Woorkup, I thought I'd just post a working demo of what I wrote about - a basic jQuery form fade.
Copy and paste the code below in to your website, and it should work! I have also put a working demo below as well.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('.showform').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$('#mydiv').fadeIn();
});
});
</script>
<!--Start of container div, and form-->
<div id="mydiv" style="display:none;">
<form id="myform" action="wherever.php" method="post">
<input name="myinput" type="text" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</div>
<p>To show the form <a class="showform" href="/mylink.php">click here</a>.</p>
<!-- End of form and container div -->
To show the form click here.
Jquery Field Replace
Posted: 15th May 2009
It's time for some cool Jquery code, it has been too long - we do apologise.
I've been working on my Jquery Field Replace script which automatically switches the value of an input with the title. This is useful if you want to auto populate an input field to explain what it does but not keep it in there. Code is all yours, but please credit us or at least let us know if you have used it by dropping a comment. Enjoy!
Jquery Form Validation - Checking Fields
Posted: 8th Apr 2009
TECHY WARNING: Warning this post has 'techy-talk' be warned.
We thought we would share a cool way of checking form fields in Jquery. Just set the submitButton and the requiredFields variables and you are on your way. It is really useful for for validating a form before sending the data to the server (and you should always check before AND after sending the form don't forget!). This could be made in to an even neater, packed function if I had time, maybe later.
Have a play...

Posted: 6th Mar 2009
We have just built a cool 'select all checkboxes' function in JQuery and released the code. It is for administrators of Halogy to be able to simply grant permissions to their users at a category level, but if they want to they can open up the category and grant individual permissions.
