Trip To Savannah

We went to Savannah for four days and had a great time. Stayed in a downtown bed and breakfast, which was awesome, walked all over, saw bunches of art, ate great food, rented a Vespa for a day and generally just took it super easy. Lots of glamor shots, mainly because we realized we don’t have many “us” shots. Anywho, enjoy!

There Should Be An Award For That

Andrew and I just launched a fun little web app, our first collaboration. It’s built around the idea of when people say, “there should be an award for that.” GR8WERK.com empowers you to create those awards. Whether Husband of the Year, Worst Office Party or anything else, it is a simple little app designed to let people express their celebration, sarcasm or humor in a whimsically official manner. For example:

Generally, it’s built with jQuery, AJAX and PHP. Special thanks to the Jeditable Plugin, which made the “editing in place” feature super easy.

Anywho, check out the site! Let me know what you think! There are some updates and new features on the way, but I’m going to let this simmer for a while as is.

How To Add Maxlength To Jeditable

Just a snippet for anyone using the Jeditable Plugin, which enables editing-in-place functionality via jQuery, if you want to add “maxlength” controls to the fields.

  • in the jquery.jeditable.js file, add maxlength : ‘ ‘ to var settings={ }, around line 78
  • in the same file, add input.attr(’maxlength’, settings.maxlength); after input.attr(’name’, settings.name); which is around line 230
  • then in your main $(document).ready(function() { } ); add maxlength : ‘30′, or whatever value you want in the list of properties (indicator, type, tooltip, etc.)

That’s it. I had seen some pointers for this here, but I wanted to expand and add some clarity for all 12 people on the Internet who might be curious about this.
