Eventually in your development career you will have to create Mock objects to get your work done, especially if you are working with distributed systems. You don’t always have access to some parts of the system, in fact they may not even exist yet. That just happens to be the case with some work I [...]

Default buttons made easy ala jQuery
A while back I wrote a post about multiple default buttons on a form which I needed to revisit recently and as is always the way when you look back at some old code I ended up saying to myself "What the hell were you thinking?". I had a mild chuckle to myself as I [...]
Implementing a ‘Please select’ option with jQuery, jQuery Validation and asp.net
Continuing with my love of jQuery, today I bring you a few little snippets of code for working with select lists that have a “Please select’ entry indicating a user should select an option.

Multiple default buttons on an ASP.Net form
Recently I had to update the home page of a big brand website that contained a quick search option at the top right of the page, a common feature on sites.
The search was to accommodate 2 tabs with a different type of search on each, each having it’s own search button.
To improve the usability of the feature it was necessary to dynamically assign the default button on the page whilst at the same time allowing the enter key to be handled by input elements outside the search tabs.
The solution was done in such a way as to minimise changes to existing code and minimise risk of bugs being introduced through change.
jQuery to the rescue!
