In one of my current projects I need to have a table of data that the user can reorder. A quick search of the internet doesn’t turn up any javascript howtos or frameworks that allow dragging and dropping of table rows, so I had to role my own. I’ve written an article about how to do it, here. (more…)
A friend recently pointed me to a useful development toolbar for Firefox. It’s similar to the development toolbar here but does even more stuff.
You can find the toolbar at http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper/.
Definitely worth having if you’re working with Firefox (in fact I often use Firefox for debugging Javascript and the like because it tends to be much more helpful than IE!).
I’ve recently been trying to make some of my scripts work with Firefox 1.5 (from IE) and I was looking for some debugging help to set me on the right track. I found this tool which seems to work very well: http://getahead.ltd.uk/ajax/venkman.
It’s an updated version of Venkman fixed to work with Firefox 1.5.
One of the things it helped me find is that whereas in IE if I ask a table cell (TD) for the nextSibling and get the next TD, in Firefox you always seem to get a text node first and then the next TD. Similarly for getting the next and previous rows.
