Click on the top-left rectangle above the row numbers and to the left of the column names so that all of the cells in the worksheet will be selected. Move the mouse over the line between two column names (column headers) and double-click it. This will AutoFit all of the Read more…
One of the things that I still find funny is when I ask a user to select all of the values in a column (not the column itself) and then user starts from the top and drags the selection until they reach the end. Of course, for a couple hundred Read more…
One of the things that many people try their best to do when deploying their JavaScript code to production, is use a minified version of the code. By that, I mean, remove the unnecessary white-space, extra symbols, and shorten the names of variables. If you don’t have much JavaScript, you Read more…
One of the things that I had to do recently was develop an example iReport which would exemplify how to achieve optional variables solely through the Java code within the JRXML file. My example consisted of creating a query that could serve as an example table named people which contained Read more…
ECMAScript 5 has introduced the new Function.prototype.bind() function which not only gives you the ability to natively bind a primitive or object to a function and also curry data for the function. Unfortunately, up to this point, nobody has written an implementation of this function to make it work on Read more…
One of the nice prototype functions available in the Prototype JS library is Function.prototype.delay(). The reason this is a great function is the fact that it actually allows you to call a function after a certain amount of time with the specified parameters. The following is an example of how Read more…
Almost a month ago, I posted about creating a camel case function in VBScript. Now I think it is time to see a simple way to implement this function in JavaScript: Believe it or not, that is all the code you will need for the following to work: You will Read more…
Have you ever wondered why so many people hate Microsoft? For instance, people are always talking badly about the workarounds that you have to do in order to make things work in Internet Explorer. For me, when first starting developing web pages, all I knew was IE, therefore I felt Read more…
Usually, when people first start dealing with user input, they have to parse information such as a person’s name. I know I have had to do this at some point in almost every language that I have programmed in. One of the best ways to go about parsing a full Read more…
As I was improving the next version of jPaq, I realized that another simple type checking function that I need is one that will indicate whether or not the specified argument is a primitive. believe it or not, the code to do this test is quite simple: In JavaScript, the Read more…
