16 code solutions to kick-off dev blog: html-src.com

By Bill Heaton | Published: August 15, 2010

Today I created a new blog for storing my code solutions, snippets and examples. I’m planning on using this site to post on the specific topic of front-end web development with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I will likely focus forward thinking topics on HTML5 CSS3, etc. also on developing on a mac.

It all ends with HTML source, whatever happens on the server-side or gets modified on the client-side with AJAX or a script. So my web dev blog html-src.com is short for HTML source, and is all about coding.

16 articles to kick it off …

  1. Apache directive to combine .js and .css files
  2. Boilerplate code for jQuery plugin with debug and logging methods
  3. Clean up directories prior to initializing repository
  4. Command line tip to find running apps and kill ‘em
  5. Fancy up a list of articles into a dynamic rotation of text
  6. Fix bad characters † after mysqldump and import utf-8
  7. Hijack form’s submit onclick, validate, and use enter key to post form
  8. Images loaded or not? Check with JavaScript
  9. Import a URL with Ruby
  10. Insert facebook like button with current page’s URL
  11. Ruby block to create random token string without offending
  12. Target specific browsers with css class on body element
  13. Text in WordPress search input fields
  14. Use mysql on the command line when developing with MAMP
  15. Use proxy file with PHP to load a URL from remote domain
  16. Use ruby gem, Sass to generate a CSS grid layout

So check it out http://html-src.com.
