When using the excellent formidable library to handle file uploads, I needed to get a count of the number of files unloaded in a multi-part form. Javascript arrays have a .length property that you can use, but objects do not. I instinctively typed: 1 files.length Which returned undefined. So if there is no length property present, an [...]
Self Employed
This post comes with a bit of a delay, as it is already three months into the year, but as of January 2011, I have been full time self-employed. I made the difficult decision to voluntarily leave an excellent job with Company52 at the beginning of the year to venture out on my own. Running my [...]

Basically, the problem is that if you’re using numerically-indexed arrays with a set number that [...]
Get the Most From Your Google Analytics Dashboard
I’m a big fan of Google Analytics. The service is free, can go on multiple websites using just one account, and displays and processes stats beautifully. But the one thing that’s always annoyed me about Google Analytics is the default dashboard setup when you create a new website profile. The dashboard is the place for [...]
IE6 and Multiple Button Submit Elements
I stumbled across yet another weird issue in Internet Explorer 6 today. This time it has to do with <button type=”submit”> elements and how data is sent back to the server. <button type=”submit”> vs <input type=”submit”> You would think both elements would behave exactly the same, because they’re both basically the same thing – the [...]
