Well straight from the horses mouth jQuery UI provides abstractions for low-level interaction and animation, advanced effects and high-level, themeable widgets, built on top of the [...]

Get your #Mix11 on and vote for BondiGeek
Mix11, are you pumped? It’s a new year and time for a new Mix and I am totally psyched about this years Mix conference. There is so much going on in the tech world (other than things beginning with an i) and what better venue to ‘get your geek on’ than Vegas and Mix 11. [...]
Handling dd/mm/yyyy Date Strings across all browsers
On the current project I am working on I came across an issue with validation of date strings using jQuery.Validation and Safari on both Mac and PC. It would appear our friends at Apple don’t like anything other than the annoying US date format of ‘mm/dd/yyyy’. For the life of me I could never and [...]
jQuery Templates {{if}}…{{else}}…{{/if}}
Happy New Year blogosphere and welcome to post ‘numero uno’ for 2011 from BondiGeek. I have the good fortune of being down in Cape Town, South Africa for the first couple of weeks of 2011 so if you see a gratuitous lion, giraffe or elephant photo slip in to one of my posts do not [...]

OData and the case of the rogue single quote

Blogstipation cleared – jQuery Templates
Oh my goodness, work has just been way to hectic the last few weeks. Had no time to blog at all. Not good. Never mind though as I have cleared my bad case of Blogstipation now and today I will be mostly talking about jQuery Templates. This is an up and coming feature in jQuery [...]
Beauty of the Web
Well here it is the much loathed Internet Explorer 9 Beta. Trouble is, there is nothing to loath here folks. Move along, quickly across the web, rendering beautifully and HTML5 ready. Wow, it really rocks this browser and sports a sleek new minimalist look which blends elegantly in to the Windows 7 UI. You can [...]
The time is now!
Working on a project this week I needed to pay close attention to the Timezone offset for data displayed in reports on a web application. Unfortunately the HttpBrowserCapabilities class in asp.net doesn’t offer us the Timezone or Timezone offset of the browser. If anyone knows where it might be hidden away I would love to [...]
