My Blog

Sometimes you need to take a break from projects. Something else comes up, and personal projects get put on hold. In my case, it's a short-term contract at the University of Bristol… one that could lead onto a longer duration post.

It's also my first piece of open-source software.

One of the nicest things about spreadsheets is that you can reorder columns alphabetically just by clicking a "sort" button. Using JQuery, you can now do this for tables in your web pages.

I want all of my external links to open in a new window, and for users to know that this will happen before they click. I also want this additional functionality to be automatic, so that other web editors don't need to remember to do something in order to make it happen.

There's a problem with TinyMCE that presents in some web browsers. It occasionally adds rouge line breaks at the end of block elements. This is how I find and remove them.
