Sep29Form DOM element not recognized (created) in ajax form in IE when placed with end tag missing
Skipping a form end tag </form> costed me almost a day (i had to go to bed abandoning the fixing for some time though;)). I had been using ajaxForm with jQuery to submit ajax form which was placed on a popup dialog box opened through ajax. The form worked well in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari but did not work in Internet Explorer 7 & 8 (IE7 & IE8 ; i didn’t test in other versions of IE but perhaps they would not work either). The IE simply would not create the <form> tag at all so if you try to alert $(“#formID”).length it would return always 0(zero). It started to work fine (in IE) when i placed </form> to mark the end of the form (i know it was a mistake to not to place it there though). Click to continue »

Jun03How to prevent parent’s onclick event from firing when a child tag is clicked with jquery?
Generally, Javascript events bubble (listen) to the highest point in the DOM to which a click event had been attached. So even if you don’t have any other explicitly click-able elements in the div, every child element of the div would bubble their click event up the DOM to until the DIV’s click event handler catches it.

May20Setting Style/CSS of select options using jQuery
This is how i set style (color here) of all of the options of a select list using jQuery.
In my case i had select options like this:
<select id=”select_list_id”>
<option value=”#595959″>Grey</option>
<option value=”#000000″>Black</option>
<option value=”#036″>Blue</option>
<option value=”#363″>Green</option>
<option value=”#632423″>Red</option>
<option value=”#403152″>Purple</option>
<option value=”#E36C0A”>Orange</option>
</select>
Follwoing the jQuery code i used to set color of options above:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#select_list_id option', this).each(
function () {
$(this).css({'color':$(this).val()});
}
)
});
