First, I downloaded the latest SQlite3 DLL. (I grabbed the DLL of the SQLite library without the TCL bindings.)

Then, I exracted the .dll and .def files to my C:\ruby\bin directory and that fixed my issue. (You’ll might have to restart your console session.)

These steps will also fix this error message:
“The procedure entry point sqlite3_column_database_name could not be located in the dynamic link library sqlite3.dll.”

Hope this helps someone else running into the same issue.

$("#box1").fadeTo(1000, 0).fadeTo(3000, 0).fadeTo(1000, 1);

This will fade out an element in 1 second, then it will “pause” by setting another animation for 3 seconds that doesn’t change anything, then it will change it back to 100% opacity. It’s kind of an awkward way to do it.

But now with jQuery 1.4, things are a lot easier. You just need to just need to use the delay() function. Like so…

$("#box2").fadeTo(1000, 0).delay(3000).fadeTo(1000, 1);

Click on the box and notice there is a 3 second delay after the box fades out, before it reappears. Visually, the effect looks exactly the same before the delay() function was introduced, but the code is nicer now.

To set the delay before an animation fires, do this…

$("#box3").delay(3000).fadeTo(1000, .1);

Now there will be a 3 second delay before the box fades:

Or if you want to set the delay after an animation fires. Like a delay before your next lines of code are fired, do something like this… (I’m not sure if this is the best way, but it’ll work.)

$("#box4").fadeTo(1000, .1).delay(3000).fadeTo(1, .1);

And that’s all there is too it. To read more about the delay() function, check out the jQuery documentation.

After you have Ant installed, you’ll need a SVN command line client. You can download a program like Slik SVN for this functionality. After you have both Ant and SVN working. You can do something like this…

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="MyProject" basedir=".">
  <description>
    This build file will check out your code from a SVN repository.
  </description>

  <exec executable="svn">
    <arg line="checkout http://www.example.com/svn/project/
       --username test --password password"/>
  </exec>
</project>

That’s all there is to it. Check out the Subversion Complete Reference for all the SVN commmands.

You want the user to preform an action and “Login” is not an action, it’s a noun. “Login” can be used to reference the “login interface.” But for the action of logging in, use the phrase “Log In” instead.

Ok, first, to add content using Prototype, I recommend that you already know or have the content you want to add to the DOM. For example, I wanted to add that red beetle to the DOM using Prototype. I already had the HTML coded up and here’s what it looked like…

<a href="#" onclick="beetles(); return false;">
  <img src="/images/beetle1.png" alt="" id="beetle1" border="0" />
</a>

It’s a lot easier if you know and have the HTML code you’re trying to duplicate in Prototype. So, to add this content to the DOM after the page has loaded, we use the following Prototype functions: Element constructor, Element.insert, Element.update and document.observe. And here’s what the Prototype code looks like…

document.observe('dom:loaded', function() {
var linkBeetle1 = new Element('a', {
  href: '#',
  onclick: 'beetles(); return false;'
});

var beetle1 = new Element('img', {
  src: '/images/beetle1.png',
  id: 'beetle1',
  alt: '',
  border: '0',
});

linkBeetle1.update(beetle1);
$('header').insert(linkBeetle1);
};

new Element – creates a new HTML element with the provided attributes.

.update – updates/replaces the content of the element with the provided content. In this case, we’re attaching the <img> to the <a href> tag.

.insert – attaches the newly created element into the document to the element you specify.

document.observe(‘dom:loaded’… – this will make it so that the content is loaded after the page has been loaded (but before the images are loaded).

And that’s all there is to it!
