    Creating Skinnable Checkboxes

    It is a widely known fact, that form controls, and especially comboboxes, checkboxes and radiobuttons are not that flexible as the other html elements and are hardly susceptible to css skinning. Here is a simple client-side solution for checkbox skinning. The tutorial is divided into four chapters, supplied with code listings, and explaining the different parts of the control – xhtml markup, css classes, javascript, checkbox states and more. In the beginning of each chapter there is a list of reference files. Before starting, you may download the script from here.1. Considering the (X)HTML Markup Reference files: • CheckBox.html Prior to the W3C recommendations for xhtml compliance, semantics,...

    Installing r.a.d.controls on Vista and IIS7

    Vista must be getting popular these days! We've been hit with some support requests that basically sounded like "Why don't your installers create virtual folders on IIS7 under Vista?". Our installers run fine and copy all needed files, but our virtual directory creation custom task seems to have some problems with IIS7. We are yet to throw in some efforts and research the issue in greater detail, but I assume we just have to look into the new "official" way to create virtual folders and just add support for it. Until that time, you can use the IIS6 compatibility mode. This...

    r.a.d.ajax and web services

    My team and I have been working hard to bring you the cool web services functionality that shipped with r.a.d.ajax in Q3 a week ago. And now, when the goodies are out in the open, people are beginning to explore the new features and looking for suitable ways to use them. I have been reading some of the initial support tickets we received about the web services support in r.a.d.ajax and it seems that quite a few people would appreciate some guidance with this somewhat advanced feature of the product. This blog post is meant to get you guys started. Scared...

    Creating ASP.NET AJAX client-side classes

    Does that subject looks lame or what! I'm trying to stop using the “Atlas” name -- it's ASP.NET AJAX now, and getting used to the new name is a major pain in the backside. Even though the official name Jessie-James-Garett-certified name is Ajax (note the capitalization), Microsoft chose AJAX. Anyway, I hope I'll get used to it eventually. So, how do you create a class in a language that has a classless object model? Why would you want to do that in the first place? Prototype-based object oriented programming is way more powerful than your grandma's classes that you are used...

    How to close Netscape 8.1.2.0 with JavaScript

    Hi there. I am still kicking. It has been some time since my last post as most of my efforts were concentrated on the quarterly release (which is a lame excuse). Anyway here is an interesting thing that I tackled a minute ago:The following script closes immediately the latest installment of Netscape:<html><body>    <div id="div1">        <div id="div2">        </div>    </div>        <button onclick="return CloseNetscapeNow()">Close Netscape</button>    <script type="text/javascript">        function CloseNetscapeNow()        {            var div1 = document.getElementById("div1");            var div2 = document.getElementById("div2");            div1.appendChild(div2);        }       </script></body></html>Just click the button and enjoy. It turns out that the appendChild method does not work very well when you try to add...
