I released a new symfony plugin today for the jQuery Calendar available via svn. Feel free to read about it on trac. This adds a clever calendar widget that can trigger events. Very handy for viewing an events calendar.

I’ll publish a link to this plugin in action in the following weeks. Enjoy.

I’ve been asked to speak at SymfonyCamp (symfony['camp']) next month (you should all go if you can) and I thought I’d present as well as I could on Ajax and the Zend Framework Bridge (including Zend Search Lucene).

If you’re attending the camp and/or would like to hear about these topics please let me know any specific questions you might have about “symfony and Ajax” and “symfony and Zend” and I’ll try to address them in my presentations.

If you are unable to go fear not, I’ll try to post my notes on this site.

I’ve seen a few examples of how to equalize column heights using javascript, and none of them seem appealing:

• jquery.equalizecols.js
  • This required a few other libraries, and I wanted more flexibility (e.g. where the column should grow in order to equalize)
• Project 7
  • The Project 7 approach was the most interesting, but the code seemed a bit messy and not so open source friendly (even thought it might have been). It would let you specify which element was to grow inside a column.
• Nifty Corners
  • I had trouble with the syntax, but I liked how it just created a new element out of thin air…

So I wrote my own:

$("#col1, #col2").equalizeCols();

will equalize the columns as expected

$("#col1, #col2").equalizeCols("p,p");

will equalize the columns and add the extra space after the p tag in #col1 or #col2 (whichever is shorter).

Here’s our function:

This requires jQuery of course, and it hasn’t been tested much.
