JQuery filesize plugin

-
Converting raw bytes size into human readable string is a very frequently used task.

I developed a plugin that converts raw bytes into KB or MB and its usage is very simple.

Suppose if you want to show 1000 bytes in human readable form inside a span assign the value as size attribute

<span class="jqfilesize" size="1000"></span>

and use jQuery(".jqfilesize").filesize();

output will be <span class="jqfilesize" size="1000">1 KB</span>

Download the plugin here

Proper way to have an anchor tag with onclick event

-
Anchor tags are one of the most common HTML tags used in pages. If the user right clicks on the anchor tag he/she will be provided with an option of 'Open in new Window/Open in new Tab'. This will happen only if the anchor has href attribute. Sometimes it is required to do some other action (like making ajax request) on click of the anchor link and also provide the right click option for the same anchor. Natural practice by web developers. <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="alert('i am here');">Click Me! </a> Click Me without link for anchor! Correct way to add anchor tags without losing anchor properties. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/amareswar.blogspot.com" onclick="alert('i am here'); return false;">Click Me! </a> Click Me! In the above link, you can observe that the user can right click on go to the respective link and onclick will do the custom action provided by the developer.

CORS issues with IE9 and workarounds

-
CORS(Cross-Origin-Resource-Sharing) is one of the features in HTML5 feature stack that enables a page to make AJAX requests to other domains. This feature is introduced to circumvent the Same-Origin-Policy . I am not discussing about CORS in detail here as there are lots of online resources available. I am working on a product where html files are served from one domain and back-end requests should be made to another domain (of course sub-domain) for security reasons and API clarity. Luckily we need to support browsers with HTML5 capabilities like Chrome > 14, Safari  > 5.0.5 , Firefox > 9, IE >8. I thought that IE9 is HTML5 complaint and promised to have support for it. I could have investigated a little bit  Application was implemented and we are running for release. Suddenly while going through entire flow we realized that IE9 is not making any CORS requests. From then on our hunt started. Searching blogs, articles, stackoverflow for solutions. I am her...

I came across one annoying error while coding in javascript for IE. After debugging for several hours, commenting, uncommenting the parts of code I identified that accessing body element in the javascript before entire body element is formed, will throw the alert of 'Permission Denied' which is unrelated to what ever the actual problem is. This happens only with IE. So the solution for this IE only problem is add defer attribute to the script tags manipulating body element. Like < script type="text/javascript" defer> ...access body element... </script>
