jQuery Replacements for CFGRID, CFWINDOW, and CFTOOLTIP

Ajax , ColdFusion , Default , Web Development 61 Comments »

I recently completed the beta version of CFjqAjax.  This is a library of custom tags that replicate the CFGRID, CFWINDOW, and CFTOOLTIP tags from ColdFusion 8.  The CF8 tags work, but I find YUI and Ext much harder to work with than jQuery, and the file size of the JavaScript libraries that CF8 includes is excessive.  So, I created CFjqAjax.

Finally, IE Debugging for Ajax and Javascript

Ajax , Default , Web Development 1 Comment »

Since I started doing JavaScript and Ajax development I have always been frustrated with the lack of a good debugging tool for Internet Explorer.  Firefox has Firebug, which is outstanding.

I think I may have finally found a solution - http://www.debugbar.com/

This can be a big help for those Ajax calls and JavaScript functions that work in Firefox but just don't seem to work right in IE. 

Some of the features...

  • See every Ajax request, the response headers, and the source code.

  • View all the linked and inline scripts, html, and css in any loaded page.
  • An enhanced JavaScript console
  • HTML check - for validation
There are also some nice extras in there, such as the color picker, window resizing to preset sizes, and the ability to e-mail screen shots when an error occurs.
