TinyMCE Issue

by Ryan Parman • March 13, 2006 • Code • No comments

I had a problem with TinyMCE initializing on a new page today. After about 10 seconds of Googling, I had my answer: If you’re using both libraries, TinyMCE needs to be loaded before Scriptaculous. Thought I’d pass this little nugget along from one front-end developer to another. In completely unrelated news, I really need to [...]


document.createTextNode and entities

by Ryan Parman • February 25, 2006 • Code • 2 comments

One problem that I’ve had when working with dynamic DOM nodes is the inability to use entities with document.createTextElement(). I’ve read suggestions about using utf-16/ucs-2 values, but how do you find them and how do you convert them? This led me on a journey to figure out how to handle this. I ended up digging [...]


Awesome view-source trick for JavaScript developers

by Ryan Parman • February 14, 2006 • Browsers, Code • 4 comments

Maybe I’m a little slow, but I’ve found an awesome little trick for people who use Firefox, and who need to dynamically add elements to the page via JavaScript. I’ve been doing a lot of Ajax development lately for an internal webapp where I need to dynamically add nodes to lists. In my source code, [...]

Sneak Peek

by Ryan Parman • March 31, 2005 • Code, Projects • 8 comments

It’s still in the works, but I thought I’d give you all a sneak peek of the new Tarzan Control Panel. Check it out: I’ve still got some things to implement, bugs to fix, design tweaks to make, and API to build, but overall the new 1.2 version of Tarzan is shaping up extemely well. [...]


Tarzan 1.1 Now Available!

by Ryan Parman • March 12, 2005 • Code, Projects, Technology • 2 comments

Tarzan 1.1 is now available. This release has so many new features, I can’t list them all. For that, you can read the release notes. There are also some minor changes for people upgrading from 1.0.x, so please look over the release notes anyways. Although there are zero API changes in this release, there are [...]


Tarzan 1.0.1 Now Available!

by Ryan Parman • February 3, 2005 • Code, Projects, Technology • No comments

Tarzan 1.0.1 is now available. This is a relatively minor update where only three things were changed: I resolved some localization issues that primarily affected France, Germany, and Japan. If you’re currently localized as an english-speaking country, you probably won’t notice anything new. However, setting the character encoding for your Tarzan-enabled pages to UTF-8 is [...]
