Using Visual Studio Intellisense for building jQuery selector strings

Image
By User


This is a minor issue, but one I find myself running into:



When I am using jQuery in Visual Studio 2010, I find myself frequently typing: 





$(#S


using Intellisense to find the SomeID object ID: 





$(#SomeID).click( function() { etc.. })


then going back and adding quotes: 





$('#SomeID').click( function() { etc.. })


I find it annoying that if I add the quote first, Visual Studio goes into string mode and I lose Intellisense for finding the object's ID or class.



Am I doing it wrong?

    Unfortunately Intellisense for jquery on VS2010 is far from perfect,
    It has various problems like the one you mentioned above and it is knowN to cause performance issues within VS itself, for me typing at times was unbearably slow.
    You could always create some snippets to speed up your worklow, but unfortunately that wont actually fix your problem with the intellisense. Lets hope they release a fix for this in their first service pack.

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.
