I find cheat sheets are great for helping me aclimatise quicker! So here’s a collection of my favourites:

CSS Cheat Sheets

Now I code something using CSS at least once a day but I still have the need every once in a while to look up some obscure property, so having this CSS cheat sheet lying around comes in handy.

HTML Cheat Sheets

HTML cheat sheets can always come in handy from time to time, bookmark it or print it out so you know where it is when you need it!

jQuery cheat sheets

I’ve been doing a lot of work with jQuery recently and although my javascript isn’t very good this jQuery cheat sheet (and another one from ColorCharge that I cant find on their website anymore) has helped a lot.

ASP Cheat Sheet

PHP Cheat Sheet

MySQL Cheat Sheet

SQL Cheat Sheet

Regular Expressions Cheat Sheet

MOD_REWRITE Cheat Sheet

HTML Characters Chart

Now I realise a lot of these cheat sheets are from the same website, this is just because they’re the best ones I’ve came across. If you know of anoher good cheat sheet that I’ve missed, let me know and I’ll get it up.

I’ll update this post as and when I find new cheat sheets thatI think are worth telling people about.

Basically the problem was that when the JSON code generated it is supposed to add a comma (,) to the end of every line apart from the last one. My code put a comma at the end of every line including the last one. Firefox realises this and fixes the problem while IE just dies and wont show the content. All I did was added a quick if statement to the end of the line that checks to see if it’s the last record retrieved from the database or not and sticks the comma on the end if it has to.

I’ve also been working with flexigrid at work as part of an application I’m making which populates the flexigrid with data users have entered using online forms and PDAs. This presented the problem that people dont always enter alpha numeric characters and flexigrid doesn’t seem to like this so I added a function called cleanup that will remove all non alpha numeric characters from your data before it kills flexigrid. This is also included in the new distro. And as a side note, I have had flexigrid working with 3500 records from a Sybase database a work without any problems.

Update

The flexigrid site has now moved to here. If you have any questions to do with the javascript or flexigrid functionality then ask there. If it is a problem with the ASP then you can ask on this site.

I don’t have a demo of the ASP version online at the minute due to me not having any ASP hosting any more, I’ll do my best to find somewhere to get it online. If you would like to host the demo please get in touch with me.

Demo

Hasan from hasankoroglu.com kindly offered to host the demo for the Flexigrid with ASP on his server since I don’t have an ASP server any more. You can check out the demo of the Flexigrid with ASP on Hasan’s website by clicking here.

Download

You can download the latest version of ASP Flexigrid here.

I came across a pretty nifty script called Flexigrid. Basically it allows you to take information from a database using JSON or XML and display it on a pretty nifty grid with search, pagination, sorting and some other cool features.

Anyway, all of the examples use PHP to generate the XML or JSON so I decided to do it in ASP using a microsoft access database.
