A Website So Bright, You Gotta Wear Shades
"Where the heck have you been?", you've probably been asking yourself. I'm here, I swear! It's been a crazy roller coaster of a ride the past few months and I apologize for not posting more frequently, but I have been swamped.
I'm going to post about a few of the projects I've been working on and to start things off, let me introduce you to the brand new Lighting Associates, Inc. website. Lighting Associates prides itself on being the foremost lighting manufacturer's representative agency in the eastern Missouri and southern Illinois area. And they needed a website that both dazzled and informed their customers. Hopefully we full-filled their needs.

Who says industry can't look cool!
Midvale Industries, Inc. specializes in coating removal, ultimately which leads to giving things a face lifts. We basically took that idea and applied it to their website.
For over 100 years, Midvale Industries has provided process solutions for a multitude of industry applications, including surface preparation, coating removal, foundry, and metal finishing.

Happy New Year Everyone!!
You might have been asking where I went, well rest assure I'm still around. I've been completely swamped with projects and as I wrap one up another seems to start. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I think I'm still a couple of weeks away from some freedom.
In the meantime, how about a little present? Maybe CJ File Browser v2.0 (Beta)!!!
Thought you might like that. I've had this for awhile, but I just didn't have the time to clean up the documentation, comments etc. But I'll let you play with it and let me know if you come accross any problems.
The big change, that I've made this into a tinyMCE plug-in.
Download here: CJ File Browser
P.S. It's a ColdFusion File Browser for tinyMCE, in case you didn't know.
Now that I'm diving head deep into jQuery, I've been cruising the intra-web looking at the different plug-ins and extensions for it. I have to admit, there are some pretty impressive scripts out there. One of them caught my eye, mainly since they deal with inline WYSIWYG editors. Its called Small Rich Text Editor, which boast a small footprint (~18k), cross-browser compatibility, Ajax Image upload, HTML clean-up with PHP back-end (bet I could make this for ColdFusion!) and basic Rich Text functionality capabilities.
I haven't had any time to play with it, but it looks promising. Once I get some time, I'm going to play with it to see what it can do. But in the meantime, I thought I would share with you guys.
Hello jQuery! Be Gentle.
Over the past year or so, I've been switching back and forth using two popular javascript frameworks, jQuery and Prototype. I don't always use them, I prefer to make most of my javascript non-dependant, but at times its unavoidable. An example would be trying to do some AJAX stuff, I just find it easier to implement one of the frameworks to handle the grunt work and I just build my script on top of it. For the most part I was leaning towards Prototype.
