jQuery validator annoyances

December 8, 2008

in jQuery

Null or Not an Object my ASS!

For all of you that use jQuery and use the Validator plugin, you may have been getting this error in Internet Explorer 6:

jQuery.Validator is null or not an object

This code will break any jQuery below your validation code, and will thoroughly piss you off.

The fix is simple: use the minified version (jquery.validate.min.js) javascript file, instead of the packed version (jquery.validate.pack.js).

Everything in it's right place.
Sometimes you may want to vertically align a block item, but the CSS-only vertical aligning methods don’t make you feel clean.  Personally, I hate having to style items as a table/table cell to get them to vertically align in Internet Explorer.

jQuery to the rescue.  Using a jQuery vertical align snippet as my base code, I modified it to be a jQuery plugin that will allow you to use the function in the jQuery chain.

Now Safari’s just as cool as Firefox

If you’re a web developer on the Mac, you may be sick of everyone talking about Firefox Addons that do everything but wipe your ass. True, Firefox is a great browser that is very expandable, but I love Safari, and I want to do as much web development on Safari as possible.

The feature that I missed the most in Safari was Disable Styles and Disable Javascript, both of which are super-easily done in Firefox via the Web Developer Plugin. With the advent of Safari 3, disabling CSS and Javascript is as simple as a keystroke combination of your choice!
