An interesting post on printer's "setup sheets".

Occasionally, printers will run disposable sheets of paper through the press several times in order to fine-tune the press, or to clean the rollers. The resulting “setup sheets” often display random overlays of images and type from various unrelated print jobs.

Found, like so many good things, at Coudal.

Thomas Raschke's wireframe sculptures. Just a little bit nerdy.

Yahoo! Pipes

Posted on February 09, 2007

yahoo pipes

From O'Reilly's Radar:

Yahoo!'s new Pipes service is a milestone in the history of the internet. It's a service that generalizes the idea of the mashup, providing a drag and drop editor that allows you to connect internet data sources, process them, and redirect the output.

Phew! Sounds like it's worth a look: Yahoo! Pipes.

Ajax Auto Suggest v.2

Posted on February 07, 2007

ajax autosuggest

Update 2007-07-19

Version 2.1.3 - demo & guide here.

Download AutoSuggest v.2.1.3

  • Bugfix

Update 2007-07-07

Version 2.1.2

  • Smaller file size (under 9k)
  • Uses encodeURIComponent instead of encodeURI
  • bsn namespace is set as default - uses new bsn.Autosuggest(... instead of new Autosuggest(.... This avoids conflicts with other libraries (e.g. prototype) out of the box.

Update 2007-03-24

I've made a few changes, and shaved off a third of the file size.

Most importantly, using a function as the script variable, it's possible to include values from other fields in your AJAX request. A number of people asked for this functionality.

Compatibility with prototype, and other libraries (version 2.1 and earlier)

Hi to everyone that's having compatibility problems with Prototype or other libraries. Don't write me an email or a comment - here's how to avoid conflict problems:

Before you load the Autosuggest .js, set the following variable in your html page:

useBSNns = true;

This shifts the whole code into the 'bsn' namespace. You then create a new autosuggest as follows:

var as = new bsn.AutoSuggest('idOfTextfield', options);

Undocumented functionality. Sorry.

Tim.

Original post

The new and improved version of my JavaScript/Ajax auto suggest script. More features, less bugs. Demo and documentation here.

Improvements include:

  • Optional JSON Support
  • Callback function support (set ID when user selects list item, or anything else...)
  • Can display more information
  • An optional message when no results are returned
  • Completes field when enter key is pressed
  • Slick new look (2.0 ready!) including fade effect!
