jQuery Sortable UI Syntax Issue

Image
By User



Im not quite sure what to search for to sort out this problem.





I am getting syntax error with the following code because i have 2 (no idea what to call them) in the .sortable options. Would you be able to tell me what i have done wrong with this code?





Im using a placeholder and also a connectWith from this page http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/#portlets and there doesnt seem to be any examples showing how to write both of them at the same time.





The syntax error is not there when i comment out







placeholder: "placeholder-highlighting"







or







connectWith: ".sortable-content"







My code is below:







$(function() {

        $( ".sortable-content" ).sortable({

                placeholder: "placeholder-highlighting"

                connectWith: ".sortable-content"

        });

        $( ".sortable" ).disableSelection();

    });







Bonus points for telling me what they are called!

    They are called options. You are calling the "sortable" method and then saying "use these options instead of the default options (if there are any)".

    You need to put a comma between each option!

    $(function() {
    $( ".sortable-content" ).sortable({
    placeholder: "placeholder-highlighting",
    connectWith: ".sortable-content"
    });
    $( ".sortable" ).disableSelection();
    });

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
