I was not suggesting that it's wrong for you to use jQuery UI. I was merely stating my personal experience with the package. And maybe giving a fair warning to everyone out there which wants to try this. Granted, some of my ideas were not exactly fit for the controls that the jQuery UI provided. In these cases it was harder to change the jQuery UI than to create a control of my own :)

I am also experiencing the same stuff. I've been trying to work with jQuery more and more over the last few project I did. While sometimes it seems easier just to do it with "regular" javascript, this always seems to work so much better! It's great :) However, don't get me started on jQuery UI. Because it is very BUGGY #@!$ I've seen alot of issues cross-browser wide and I had to redo so many things that I decided to just do it myself anyway.

I started to receive these exact same e-mails since a few days. Really annoying, and the first time I was actually afraid since I put an article in my shopping basket for like 1600 dollars. (Did not order it!) When I opened the mail I was very happy with it being spam :P

At least you got an awnser :X

With the new article menu I've encountered a little annoying bug. You now have the print, digg, bookmark, comments and report icons. As soon as you would click on Bookmark it will display the message that it has bene bookmarked, or already was. After that the Digg menu seems to be unusable. It will not appear, a refresh is needed to fix this. Just a very minor issue ofcourse but I wanted to report it anyway. Browser: IE8 Cheers!

Nice catch, Loved it! :)

For as far as I know there is no such thing as databound controls of any kind. I'd say it's just writing a loop to generate each table record by hand. To be honest with you, i'm a big fan of this approach. DataBound controls in ASP.NET make me feel like I don't have direct control over my output anymore. For example: I couldn't find out how to disable a button for specific rows in the databound control. In the manual hand written loop it's as easy as a simple if check.

Well, for as far as I know PHP does not have controls sets through any IDE. I have never been a fan of the drag and drop approach within programming languages and when i'm building ASP.NET websites you would see me coding it anyway. With that said, there are libraries which offer specific sets of tools for PHP. jQuery is an example of this library, and yes I do know that this is javascript but it's perfectly integratable with PHP. Personally I've programmed PHP for 7 years with notepad and an FTP application. Last year I started using NotePad++ which does Syntax coloring for me which is always great. If you want to take a step further in rapid PHP development I'd advise you to take a good look as Vs.PHP http://www.jcxsoftware.com/vs.php[^]. This is a plugin for your Visual Studio environment of choice and provides syntax coloring, instellisense and debugging for your PHP websites. If you have any other question, ask away :)

I would actually disagree with you on this. For rapid (visual) development PHP is a clear winner for me. This comes from a programmer that started out with PHP and then got involved with the .NET framework, C# and ASP.NET. To me PHP is just much easier to understand, the way a page is rendered to the screen in ASP.NET confuses me a lot! Besides that I'd say that learning PHP for a .NET programmer is very easy. PHP.net has excellent documentation, better than MSDN in my opinion. I must say that I don't program many functions within PHP. Aside from some often used tools, login classes and some security stuff I hardly use OOP within PHP. Both are fine programming languages but I'd advise the OP to just give PHP a go, maybe not for this project, but just try it some time. You might like it ;)

Glad to hear it :) It premieres here in The Netherlands on June 23rd! Already have my tickets to a 3D screening.. Can't wait!

If you look at it that way, the compensation I received was quite fair too :O

I think my first real programming gig was about 5 or 6 years ago. I was 14 years old and had to create Quotation Software (in PHP) for a website. I was, really, under payed back then. I got like 300 euro's out of it or something. It was fine with me back in those days. Now, luckily, i know better! Sometimes I look back at the code for lols. Jeez I was such a BAD programmer then :D Now I wouldn't even dare to sell it :)

You should check your windshield wipers before you leave that car park. Who cares about age... She might have left a note / (business) card!

Woah I think that that link pretty much sums up all my eye movement behaviour. It exactly matches mine! Thats quite funny, good link! :)

I'd love to buy one too. Just to display to the world what an enormous geek I really am! It will also fit nicely in my collection of PHP (Pretty hawt programmer) shirts and some other programming jokes shirts!

It's not that I mind that they added it. It's more how it happened without any prior notice. They can just leave it there, fine with me

How is that? And even if so, atleast I don't go around asking people stupid questions if THEY think I belong to the modern world. :(

So I got this e-mail yesterday congratulating me that my application (My article here on CP) had been added to the Softpedia database. I however did not submit a thing! This kind of puzzles me, how and why was it added? Besides that, it was merely a demo project and not an actual application. They copied my description, version history etc. And they think that "Kaiwa" is my middle name rather than just a nickname! Don't get me wrong, I think it was funny to see that they picked it up (with screenshot made by them) and tested it for virusses (*giggle*). I just don't know how it happened.

I might actually feel a little insulted by that. As I concider myself to be part of this "Modern World". :) OT: I see more of these questions per day and it keeps amazing me. Aswell as the titles for their questions. I saw one with "About exception handling". And there was absolutly nothing in the question refering to that, just some random question what he had to do to not get an exception at all!

You might actually win because the Australian National football team is being coached by Pim Verbeek (former player from the Netherlands) :laugh:
