Crows and Beethoven – Game Over

by Leo Fisher - November 13th, 2010

This commercial reeks of a couple of my favorite things: Crows and Moonlight Sonata.  How could one not be intimately inspired?  If you are not moved somewhere deep down in the crevices of your being then their is something missing in your dark soul.

WordPress and Jquery Conflicts – Fix

by Leo Fisher - November 12th, 2010

This post is for some of you who are running into some errors or funky behaviors in their jQuery code along with WordPress.  Usually it is a Function is Null or doesn’t exist type of error that FireBug reports.

Lately, in some designs I have been using different jQuery effects for different aspects of the sites and then of course what’s WordPress without its plugins where they are bound to also use jQuery for their functionalities.  Simply put, jQuery is conflicting with other libraries.

To possibly alleviate this you can set a Variable with the jQuery.noConflict(); function.  Then replacing any of the dollar signs with the variable you create:

Example:

var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

$j(document).ready(function(){}

To learn more about the problem with other alternatives and get a more in-depth look of the conflict go here: http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries
