3 FREE scripts

I recently added a scripts page on my website on which I offer 3, very simple yet useful, scripts.

The first one is a very simple but efficient registration form that is validated real time using AJAX calls.

If you want to give it a go, you can visit the demo page at
TheDemos.InsanityVille.com/SimpleValidation

Another script that I put together is a simple Yahoo Messenger Status Checker. It's not 100% accurate because the user you're checking must be Available to be found online by the script, nut still, if you find yourself in a situation in which you don't have messenger installed and don't want to use the online version of messenger unless the person you want to talk to is online, this is a very helpful script.

You can try it on the demo page at
TheDemos.InsanityVille.com/SimpleYahooStatusChecker

Another cool snippet I released is a simple AJAX link checker. Basically, it check for dead link. You could use this script on your comments form to prevent bogus submissions of links.

The demo page is here
TheDemos.InsanityVille.com/SimpleLinkChecker

I should mention that these scripts are made using PHP for the server side scripting, MySQL database server for checking for duplicate user names and email addresses on the SimpleValidation script and,of course, the famous jQuery framework for AJAX calls and visual effects.

I hope you'll enjoy these simple, highly customizable (via css) scripts.

Please take the time to vote on the poll to give some feedback on them.

Thanks.

CakePHP Framework

Hi all!

I would like to introduce you to one of the greatest php frameworks out there: CakePHP.

It's main features are:

* Model, View, Controller Architecture
* View Helpers for AJAX, Javascript, HTML Forms and more
* Built-in Validation
* Application Scaffolding
* Application and CRUD code generation via Bake
* Access Control Lists
* Data Sanitization
* Security, Session, and Request Handling Components
* Flexible View Caching
* And More...

It's pretty well documented, but with a community that active, you wont have any problem in overcoming any problems you may have.

Enjoy CakePHP!

Effects in jQuery

Hi!
This is my first tutorial ever, so here goes.
If you want to show or hide an element, with jQuery is very simple. One line of code and the magic happens:

$("mydiv").show();
$("mydiv").hide();

$("#mydiv").toggle()

<div id="mydiv"></div>

That's it.

For future reference: http://www.jquery.com

Enjoy the magic!

Progressive Metal Rulez!

Do you like prog metal? I think it's the most intelligent genre around. Dream Theater, Symphony X and other bands bring it to perfection.
What do you think?
