Say you have a few checkboxes, defined as below: Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Basic stuff. Now you want to get those that are checked. In PHP $cb_arr = $_POST["items"]; In javascript, or jquery var cb_arr = $(".my_cb:checked"); Notice the cb_arr above is not a js array. You need to use .each() to iterate through the items. To pass that to php via ajax, you can serialize it like this: var cb_arr_str = $(".my_cb:checked").map(function() { return this.value; }).get().join(','); My point here is this. The ids turn out to be quite useless when dealing with checkboxes. ...

While playing with jqGrid, I have no idea why word wrapping a line is so difficult to do. Here is a few steps to enable word wrapping in the cells. Open up ui.jqgrid.css Search for .ui-jqgrid tr.jqgrow td Change “white-space: pre;” to “white-space: normal;” You are done! ;) Ref: http://2centtech.blogspot.com/2009/12/jqgrid-header-and-cell-value-word-wrap.html

明月幾時有，把酒問青天。 不知天上宮闕，今夕是何年。 我欲乘風歸去，又恐瓊樓玉宇，高處不勝寒。 起舞弄清影，何似在人間。 轉朱閣，低綺戶，照無眠。 不應有恨，何事長向別時圓。 人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。 但願人長久，千里共嬋娟。

This article is very interesting in that, while everyone is talking about the unemployment rate and using that as a measurement on the economic health, the writer Douglas Rushkoff argues that the decline of jobs is actually a direct product of the advancement of our technology. If that’s true, then creating jobs may be a funny thing to do, pretty much for the sake of creating them.

尾牙是商家一年活动的“尾声”，也是普通百姓春节活动的“先声”。每年月的初一、十五或者初二、十六，是台湾商人祭拜土地公神的日子，称为“做牙”。二月二日为最初的做牙，叫做“头牙”；十二月十六日的做牙是最后一个做牙，所以叫“尾牙”。 Ref: http://baike.baidu.com/view/131868.htm

“退伍军人症”是由“退伍军人杆菌”（Legionella spp）引发的急性肺炎及呼吸道感染。该病得名于1976年美国宾夕法尼亚州一次退伍军人聚会后的“浩劫”——与会的221位退伍军人中，有34人死于不明病原的肺炎。从死者肺部组织中分离出了一种相当特殊的细菌，后被命名为“退伍军人杆菌”。英国一项研究发现，司机患上该病的几率是普通人的5倍，罪魁祸首可能是车辆的雨刷。 Ref: http://www.hudong.com/wiki/%E9%80%80%E4%BC%8D%E5%86%9B%E4%BA%BA%E6%9D%86%E8%8F%8C Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legionella_longbeachae

This idea sounds easy and stuff. I agree. I assume you already got it working fine. But perhaps one day you may notice something is not working well, especially when you are dealing with bigger files. Below are a few things you want to look out for. Change your /etc/php.ini upload_max_filesize = 2M post_max_size = 8M memory_limit = 128M The default upload file size is 2M, which could be too small. If your upload file is larger than this, you will receive an empty upload file at your server side. So, increase this. While if you are using ajax to post-send, increase the post_max_size limit. Another thing to watch out for is memory_limit. If you somehow make copies of big blobs in your code, increasing PHP’s memory limit is also a good idea. ...

I have read many online articles on this topic. However, they either just show how to do ajax form submission, or how to submit just files. In my case, well I bet in most real life situations, we need to submit both ordinary text/selection/radio values and files. Here is how to do it. HTML forms. Yea, whatever. Just set something up. Submit Notice I didn’t use the form tag. My philosophy here is that: since we will decide the data set during the ajax submission, there is really no need to declare a form here. ...
