jQuery UI Datepicker appearing below Dialog
When creating a dialogue with jQuery that contains a Datepicker text input the Datepicker calendar will appear below the dialogue due to the dialogue’s z-index being higher. The easiest universal way to work around this is to include a one liner in the open event function of the initial dialogue call. $("#dialogue").dialog({ modal: true, open: function () { $("#ui-datepicker-div").css( "z-index", $(this).parents(".ui-dialog").css("z-index") + 1, ); }, }); Read more ⇒

Plesk and its custom configuration files
Plesk allows you to control settings for each domains virtual host container (subdomains are also configured in the same way). To override the default configuration you will need to make the new vhost file, which should appear in the following locations: domain/conf/vhost.conf domain/subdomain/conf/vhost.conf The vhost.conf file must not contain the entire vhost container but only its contents. So this means that you cannot make changes to the IP address or port the virtual host container is listening on in this file, but you can override the PHP open_basedir setting and other directory settings.

The Little Manual of API Design
The Little Manual of API Design This manual gathers together the key insights into API design that were discovered through many years of software development on the Qt application development framework at Trolltech (now part of Nokia). When designing and implementing a library, you should also keep other factors in mind, such as efficiency and ease of implementation, in addition to pure API considerations. And although the focus is on public APIs, there is no harm in applying the principles described here when writing application code or internal library code. Read more ⇒
You may have noticed that the Oracle logo has begun to appear across all the Sun websites, which is a visible indication that the Oracle buy out of Sun is now complete. In the spring of last year the deal was announced and many people were very worried about Oracle’s intentions for Sun’s open source projects – most notably MySQL. Many seemed to consider MySQL a competitor for Oracle’s 11g database software and therefore Oracle would be looking to reduce development investment to stifle the perceived competition. Read more ⇒
Lancia Stratos Replica Fast Lap on Top Gear UK
During a reasonably long and fitting homage to Lancia (Fulvia, Montecarlo, 037 and Delta) on Top Gear last night “The Stig” was given a Hawk HF3000 (that is the Alfa V6 based one) replica to drive around the track. It sounds fantastic but the bucking and diving under braking looks really scary! Hawk are not the only maker of replicas as I found out when I did some research a couple years ago. Read more ⇒
