In an excellently written article, Steve states clearly why Apple is embracing the future, and not relying on flash.

Setting an HTML element’s class with Javascript

FarmSoft Studios — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 18:32:07 +0000

I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I was getting a parse-error with this code… DUH!

document.getElementById('test').class = "test"

“class” is a reserved name, of course… So you access it with:

document.getElementById('test').className = "test"

Getting a RewriteCond to work

FarmSoft Studios — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 03:40:13 +0000

Wondering how to get a nice url such as

http://www.farmsoftstudios.com/tools/ajax/tutorials.html

to run a query for you? Here’s how to get this url: http://www.farmsoftstudios.com/tools.php?type=ajax&style=tutorials to the url listed above. You’ll need a .htaccess file in the directory that you are working from. Create that, and then add these lines:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /your/sub-directories/if/any
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule tools/(.*)/(.*)\.html$ tools.php?type=$1&style=$2

To dissect that, first, you are calling an apache directive called RewriteRule. That tells apache that you want this url rewritten. Then you list the structure that you want created. In our case, that is tools/ (which is static) and then the query’s “variables.” What I mean by that is when I type

http://www.farmsoftstudios.com/tools/ajax/examples.html

into the address bar, it creates a new query with &style=example instead of tutorials. Pretty slick, eh?

AJAX Contact Form

I am releasing a beta-version of my new AJAX contact form. you can find it here: contact.php. Notice that all the links on the top are just there to show you how it would look as placed in a webpage. Comments, bug-reports, or anything else are appreciated. Thanks!

New Contact Form

I totally rewrote the contact form, making it a completely table-less design. The form validation still works, and the code is a whole lot cleaner now.

Go ahead and try it out!

Just updated the theme of my portfolio today. I added ‘LightBox’ support in there, which hopefully speeds up the loading time.
