This is pretty useful for someone without a JS background, but who’s had Mauvis 101 in the KA office. It really fills in some gaps. Thanks!

Comment on Issue with Omniture’s Site Catalyst Form Analysis Plug-in by Ben

I also was able to resolve the issue by adding a name attribute to a form tag. WIthout name, onsubmit was instead rendering a new page. Once I added an arbitrary name attribute, normal behavior ensued.

all versions of IE 6.x and greater barf at:

String.charCodeAt(str[i]);

whereas

str[i].charCodeAt(0);

seems to keep them happy.

That’s just a made up function where you can use your own. You can either just use eval in its place or the free library from json.org if you don’t trust the source your making the call from.

Comment on Git: Ignore changes in a working tree file by Christopher Giroir

I use this when working locally on some rails projects. I edit our main controller to ignore some authentication that I don’t have access to but I don’t want to commit that. I don’t want to stash away the changes, I just want git to ignore them so I don’t accidentally commit it.

To see a list of these I use this command:
git ls-files -v | grep ^[a-z]

The -v on ls-files shows assume-unchanged files as lower case versions of the normal tags (-t shows uppercase no matter what) and then I grep for only lower case tags. If anyone has a better way of doing this please tell me :)

To make this easier to use I have an alias in my ~/.gitconfig file:

[alias]
marked-unchanged = !git ls-files -v | grep ^[a-z]
mu = !git ls-files -v | grep ^[a-z]

Now I can use this with “git marked-unchanged” or “git mu”
