Sepilok & Sandakan
Sep 15
We flew in from Singapore and arrived at Kota Kinabalu. It was lated, and crashed at a hotel. Next morning we left early for Mount Kinabalu, and stayed a night at a hotel high up and with a stunning view of the mountain. Venturing down again, we found our way to Kinabatangan and explored rivers [...]
Singapore

Arriving by bus from Melaka, we now entered Singapore. It’s one of the cleanest places I’ve ever been to, and somehow felt like an Asian Dubai. [googlemap lat="1.352083" lng="103.819836" width="300px" height="150px" zoom="10" type="G_NORMAL_MAP"]Singapore[/googlemap]

In this mordern web 2.0 age, javascript includes are used more and more – and in some cases solutions often depend on included content from 3rd parties. While it is nice these 3rd parties may provide us with data (such as the latest tweets from twitter), it would be quite nice, if issues on their [...]
Like tables, jQuery also allows you to play around with all other tags. In a recent project, we wanted to change a fixed set of labels/texts into icons instead. For this challenge jQuery was used to build the new image tag, and for good measure, here is a small example of how you can build [...]
jQuery and tables
Jul 26
I’ve been playing with jQuery the recent weeks, and while it is reasonable simple to get started with and the jQuery documentation is pretty good, I thought I’d share a few snippets of jquery examples/code, which showcases a few simple practical uses for jquery. First up – tables and jquery. With jQuery you can add [...]
