Posted on November 26, 2008 by Shaun Kester

I’ve got another real world example of how to use jQuery to enhance your website. A friend emailed me this morning wondering if it was possible to insert text using the click event or drag n’ drop into a textarea. jQuery and jQuery UI to the rescue! Review the screenshots below or just go check out the demo page.

Latency Tracker updated to version 1.5

Posted on November 12, 2008 by Shaun Kester

I’ve updated my Latency Tracker plugin for wordpress to 1.5. In this release:

Flash graph of processing time using Fusion Charts.
Tabs to separate data thanks to idTabs.
Table sorting for the last 50 requests.

Having jQuery already in available to WordPress has been a big help here.

Updated PHP/mySQL WordPress Latency Tracker to 1.3/1.4

Posted on November 9, 2008 by Shaun Kester

I’ve updated my WordPress PHP/mySQL Latency tracker to version 1.3. I wanted the admin to be able to see min, max, and avg times for the number of queries and processing time. I also wanted them to be able to view the last 50 requests. You can access the admin panel under Manage >> Latency Tracker. You can get the updated version on the plugin page.
