[web2py] Re: Server-Sent Events

Wow. It's cool that web2py ships with a websockets implementation. I was also thinking like Arnon about how to implement server-sent events with web2py. As such I do want to add, maybe for posterity sake, that websockets serve a different use case than server-sent events, and are more complicat

Your date has passed, so I don't know how useful this will be, but when I introduce people to jQuery, I usually start with fun, gimmicky things, like changing all the images in a web page to photos of cats: jQuery('img').each(function() {var my = jQuery(this); my.attr('src','http://www.placekit

[web2py] Welcome app / AddToAny integration question

More of a curiosity on my part, but why does web2py promote AddToAny (by automatically including it with every new application)? Sure, it's easy enough to remove, but why is it in there in the first place?

I might have missed something. Are you trying to move the viewport to the element with the id after the hash? If so, would you be able to use: document.location.hash = "tabs=2"; Does that work? On Wednesday, March 21, 2012 5:39:08 PM UTC-4, Cliff wrote: > > Thanks, Jonathan. I appreciate th

I agree with Wikus. Just by having a web site out in the public means just that. Don't publish anything that you wouldn't want printed in newspapers or announced to your grandmother. :) You may be different, but every one who has asked me to prevent users to view source code did not care about

Curious. I've surprisingly not heard of haml. What would you say are the benefits over web2py's built-in HTML helpers? SASS could be quite helpful for us front-end guys, and I notice there are a couple of python modules out there. My opinion is that I don't know if it would need to be included

Nice example! I love how snappy the site navigation is. That is one benefit I expected from using backbone, with the potential for so much less data being transferred for view changes over normal page refreshes.

[web2py] Re: Backbonejs in web2py

As with so many things in web development, it depends on your application. web2py is a complete framework to set up an environment for your application to run. Backbone.js can extend web2py's functionality to provide complex client-side interactions. I think it can be a great idea, if the desig

To select an element by ID in jQuery, you can use the CSS-like syntax #id. jQuery("#key1).focus(); Your jQuery("input.key1").focus(); statement told jQuery to look for an input with the class property of "key1". On Jul 18, 3:54 am, annet wrote: > In web2py_ajax.html I have the following line o
