jQuery: Match or target specific elements not containing some other element
The other day I was working on a project that called for a specific class to be applied to table cells that did not contain input fields.
It seemed that jquery was the obvious solution but the exact syntax eluded me until Hamish Dobson pointed me at this:
$('td.classname').filter(
function() {
return $("input", this).length == 0;
}
).addClass('myclass');

Dynamically Include JQuery Plugins
I develop and maintain complex websites that often make use of JQuery technology for improved usability.
There are so many useful plugins but not every page requires them all. Rather than slow down the site by loading all the script libraries every time it is possible to dynamically include those that are required for the current page.
For example, only include the lightbox plugin for pages where there are images that will make use of it.
Sounds simple right... well it should have been.

Video Postcard
This video was created using Pitivi, an open source linux video editor. It's a promising application but currently light on features. As such the sound and video mixing is a little choppy.
