Let Google host your javascript libraries

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

GoogleCode

An interesting possibility offered by Google developers use it as a CDN (content distribution network) for open source javascript libraries popular. In practice, this means is that in your web development, instead of going to your server for libraries that use scripting, you can directly reference and use the possibilities offered by this company in its servers.

This provides several advantages are not insignificant:

  • First, the discharge of these libraries will, for the client, probably faster than if you have to get from your server through the Internet. This is Google’s network infrastructure, and that means guarantees.
  • Second, and related to the above, if this is a high traffic website, the audience will surely be allowed infinitely greater than you can offer to another server.
  • Third, if the user has previously visited another site that also use the same library, will benefit from the local cache of the same, because your browser does not again discharged. And in any case, they would be taking advantage of Google’s cache optimizations.
  • fourth, do not consume bandwidth from your provider, although this is negligible. And I mean negligible bandwidth, not the provider ;-)
  • fifth, you can use the libraries from sites hosted somewhere where you could not, or is not easy, upload scripts, as the platform Blogger from which to write.

At this point includes: development frameworks, in all versions available:

  • jQuery
  • jQuery UI
  • Prototype
  • script_aculo_us
  • MooTools
  • Dojo
  • SWFObject
  • Yahoo! User Interface Library (YUI)

If you’re already using Google Ajax libraries (such as the Visualization API, or Google Maps), and get through the charger google.load (), you can also use it to download these frameworks. You can also do so through a direct reference, such as:

?View Code JAVASCRIPT
<script 
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.6.0.2/prototype.js">
</script>

Oh, and not worry about changing versions, or anything. Google is committed to live indefinitely all distributions to be published and include updates as they appear.

Finally, and to provide a negative view, some people think that this is one more strategy for Google to get information about users’ browsing, code execution from its servers enable cookies and reading of data that could be used for purposes other than those provided on your website. Still others think it could be a source for the spread of malicious code if someone managed to hack these archives. Obviously not a good idea to use this option if you go to work in local mode, offline.

For more information on how to download and libraries available, you can visit the Developer Guide for Ajax libraries API.

5 ways to use Ajax with jQuery

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

The people of Nettuts publishes an interesting article on using  jQuery with Ajax. Specifically the 5 ways that jQuery allows us to send asynchronous requests.

  • $.load()
  • $.get()
  • $.post()
  • $.getJSON()
  • $.getScript()

$. load ()

This is the feature I like most about jQuery already makes one of the most common tasks of developing with Ajax is as simple and straightforward as we shall see in this example:

$("#div_links").load("/Main_Page #jq-p-Getting-Started li");

This example brought to the documentation page on jQuery, it manages to launch a request to the URL /Main_Page (usa URL Rewrite) HTML response and take the #jq-p-Getting-Started li and inserted into #div_links
Just great, comfortable and fast.

$. get ()

This is the simple function with which we can launch the server via GET requests Ajax.

$.get("test.cgi", { name: "Venu", time: "7pm" },
  function(data){
    alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
  });

By passing 3 options, 2 of which are options (rather conditional) you can request to launch the file (1) with parameters (2) and treat the response through a callback (3rd).

$. post ()

Like the above, this feature lets you send POST requests using Ajax.

$.post("test.php", { name: "Venu", time: "7pm" },
  function(data){
    alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
  });

As easy as above.

$. getJSON ()

Although the above are able to specify the type of return, the best option is to use this method to obtain the response in JSON evaludada the callback function.

$.getJSON("test.js", { name: "Venu", time: "7pm" }, function(json){
  alert("JSON Data: " + json.users[3].name);
});

Taking into account the browser, the object will use native JSON or use a system based on eval().

$. getScript ()

Although technically not an Ajax request is a request to the server and therefore has a place in the post.

$.getScript("test.js", function(){
  alert("Script loaded and executed.");
});

With this method we can load a file asynchronously using JavaScript and the parameter (2) callback can execute Javascript code that is using the js file that we want to load (1).

Disc Burner Windows Image

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

I confess … I have not posted the installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 because I have been all weekend “playing” with Windows 7.

Today browsing my external disks, I found I needed an ISO image to burn, one of the applications that I have not even installed in Windows 7 is PowerISO, but to my surprise brings integrated Windows 7 can burn ISO files.

I think Windows XP that I wanted this ability come integrated into the OS.

I catch them in the process and how easy it is:

Ajax Based Search Engine With PHP and XML

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

Here Sample code of Ajax based search engine with PHP and XML

live_preview Live Preview          downloadDownload Code

 

This is the Javascript Code :

?View Code JAVASCRIPT
/* &lt;--------------------------&gt; */
/* XMLHTTPRequest Enable		*/
/* &lt;--------------------------&gt; */
function createObject() {
var request_type;
var browser = navigator.appName;
if(browser == "Microsoft Internet Explorer"){
request_type = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}else{
request_type = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
return request_type;
}
 
var http = createObject();
 
/* &lt;--------------------------&gt; */
/* 		SEARCH				   */
/* &lt;--------------------------&gt; */
 
function fnSearchName() {
 
txtInput=encodeURI(document.getElementById('txtInput').value);
 
document.getElementById('divmsg').style.display = "block";
document.getElementById('divmsg').innerHTML = "Searching for <strong>" + txtInput+"</strong>";
// Set te random number to add to URL request
nocache = Math.random();
http.open('get', 'php_Search.php?name='+txtInput+'&amp;nocache = '+nocache);
 
http.onreadystatechange = fnSearchNameReply;
http.send(null);
}
function fnSearchNameReply() {
 
	var response = http.responseText;
	document.getElementById('divResult').innerHTML=response;
 
}

This is the PHP Code :

?View Code PHP
load("NameList.xml");
$x=$xmlDoc-&gt;getElementsByTagName('NAME');
for ($i=0; $i&lt;=$x-&gt;length-1; $i++)
{
//Process only element nodes
if ($x-&gt;item($i)-&gt;nodeType==1)
  {
  if ($x-&gt;item($i)-&gt;childNodes-&gt;item(0)-&gt;nodeValue == $q)
    {
    $y=($x-&gt;item($i)-&gt;parentNode);
    }
  }
}
$cd=($y-&gt;childNodes);
for ($i=0;$i&lt;$cd-&gt;length;$i++)
{
//Process only element nodes
if ($cd-&gt;item($i)-&gt;nodeType==1)
  {
  echo($cd-&gt;item($i)-&gt;nodeName);
  echo(": ");
  echo($cd-&gt;item($i)-&gt;childNodes-&gt;item(0)-&gt;nodeValue);
  echo("");
  }
}
