• jQuery Plugin insertAt() For Comparator-Based Insertion

  • Using jQuery's Deferred Functionality For Asynchronous Configuration

    Updated: 2011-06-16 15:52:00

These methods provided UUIDs (universally unique identifiers) and normalized timestamps in order to simplify the development of realtime applications across a global client base. These utility methods made connections to the server and then used a callback-based approach to return the requested value. When I saw that I needed to use multiple asynchronous utility m ... ead More raquo;

Occasionally, however, we might have data that doesn't quite conform to a simple set of name-value pairs. In such a situation - as I learned from Marak Squires at my ... ead More amp;raquo;
