VegUI package fixed. I was notified of the fact that the vegui.taskbar.class.js file has been missing from the latest vegUI releases. This was not intentional and has been fixed.

You can download the latest vegUI release here. Thanks.

VegUiSiteKit - Remote Scripting with the VSK Tunnel Sometimes an xml request based solution won't suffice for a project. If, for example, you need to request data from a remote server then ajax is very limited due to browser security settings. You would always need to use server based software as a middle man for the requests.

The VSK Tunnel object uses both the IFRAME and SCRIPT elements to provide a means to send requests to remote locations.

The iframe portion of the library is very unfinished and untested, so this tutorial will focus mainly on remote scripting via the SCRIPT element.

So let's get started.


VegUISiteKit - Using the Autocomplete Library The VSK Autocomplete library allows you to add a customizeable auto-complete feature to one or more text input elements on your page.

It supports traditional auto-completion, where the feature is applied to the whole value in the text box as well as tag based auto-completion, which means that the feature is triggered individually for each tag.

So let's get started.

In order to use this library you will also need to include the VSK Form Tools and VSK Core libraries. The easiest way to do this is by compiling them all into one file by using our compiled download script.

This is script is fairly simple to set up, first we will need a text input field to apply it to.

        * VegUIBridge: fixed IE6 crash bug
        * VegUIMenu: fixed bug that occured with multiple levels of nested

        disable content scrolling via keyboard arrow and page up/down keys

VegUISiteKit - Three new libraries I just upped three new VSK libraries for you to play around with. As most of the stuff on this site they have been developed as parts of some of my other projects and i am glad to be able to share them with you.

Note that all three of these new libraries are still in BETA.

Autocomplete

The VSK Autocomplete library allows you to add a customized form of text auto-completion to text input elements. The interesting feature here is that it also supports tag based searches. Meaning the autocomplete feature will trigger for each new tag as soon as you define a delimiter.

Form Tools

The VSK Form Tools library was developed as part of the autocomplete library, right now it only contains a function retrieve the caret (text cursor) position of a text input element. To make it work in firefox was a bit tricky, but yay @ google i found a solution.

Stupid as i am i lost the URL to the place where i found the solution though or i would gladly thank them here.

It does have some issues in opera and internet explorer though. Opera cant obtain a correct position if the input element is located in a centered environment. And IE has troubles obtaining the correct caret position on textarea elements.

Tunnel

The VSK Tunnel object is a remote scripting object that allows you to request webpages our remote javascript files via the use of IFRAME or SCRIPT elements.

You can download them all on the Compiled Download page.

No tutorials yet, but i am already working on them :)

Enjoy.

Comments enabled again Alright, i just patched the website back-end, and the blog now features this captcha solution for comment submission.

Let's see if and especially for how long this will keep the spam bots out ;)
