SWFUpload_0_0. Error HTTP Status: 403 Solved
Jan 5th
SWFUpload is a client-side file upload tool originally developed by Vinterwebb.se. It uses a combination of Flash and JavaScript to provide file upload functionality beyond what the basic browser provides with the <input type=”file” /> tag.
The main features that SWFUpload provides are:
- The ability to select multiple files in the file browser dialog.
- AJAX-style uploading without a page refresh.
- Upload progress events.
- Namespaced classes compatible with other JavaScript libraries (i.e., jQuery, Prototype, etc.).
- Flash 9 and Flash 10 support. (Flash 8 support dropped in version 2.2.0)
SWFUpload is different from other Flash based upload tools because of the philosophy behind its design. SWFUpload gives developers control by More >
eyeOS a ‘very close’ Web Operating System

eyeOS a Web Operating System
I would like to talk to you about an open source Web application that I have followed since its beginnings: eyeOS. This application started with the goal to become a true Web Operating System and now the guys call it Open Source Cloud Computing’s Web Desktop. Even though the idea of having the system files on a server and have ‘dumb’ clients is not new, these guys have created a great tool and nowadays they even work in conjunction with the IT monster IBM.
Maybe the dreamed future of every System Administrator is near, where they do More >
Cookie jQuery Plugin
Jan 2nd
As published on my last post, JSON gives us the great possibility to save objects on Cookies. I have already created a JSON Plugin for jQuery, then, why not create one Cookie Plugin that, in conjunction with the JSON plugin, allows us to save objects on cookies? Well, the challenge was simple and I decided to do it for those using jQuery.
The codeRemember than this plugin works in conjunction with my JSON jQuery Plugin, also on this blog.
jQuery.cookie = {
set : function(name,value,options){
options = $.extend({}, options);
if (value === null) {
value = '';
options.expires = -1;

Cookies on Roids -JSON Based
Jan 1st
Every Web programmer, one day or another, works with cookies. Some of us prefer to use server side cookies, others client cookies, and also both, client and server cookies. On my older blogspot blog, one that I even really care to update everyday as I do with this one, I post one class to work with cookies on the client side and one fellow programmer told me about json cookies. I thought it was a great script and that was because by using JSON (thanks David Crockford again!) encoding we could save objects and arrays of information into our good More >
JSON jQuery Plugin
Dec 30th
I finally got a bit of time and I started playing around with the creation of jQuery plugins and did created a couple of them that I believe all of you will find useful, one of them is a JSON plugin.
As you all know jQuery do not have a JSON encode function. I truly do not know the reason why but to implement it was quite easy -maybe the guys from jQuery thought that it wasn’t really necessary and I agree with them. Most of us use JSON on the server side through PHP or whatever the server tech we More >

How to change Paypal’s front page language
Dec 22nd
I am currently developing an application and I wanted to use PayPal’s checkout method as now it allows us, mere mortals, to use our credit cards without the need of being paypal’s user. But, I had a huge problem, I explain:
My Web project has multiple language support, that means, that a guy can choose the language he wants to see or experience my site, that a guy can be in Australia and be Spanish and choose to view my site in Spanish. You may wonder why I am explaining so much this, well, it seems that the guys from PayPal More >
Javascript Online Compression Tools
Dec 21st
When a Web project is finished, it is time to think how to make it better, faster… how to improve user’s experience. One of the most important things is javascript code compression in order to speed up page downloads and there are a couple of tools around that allows us to do it.
I just include three references:
- The Online YUI Compressor – by Mike
- The Online YUI Compressor – by Rodolphe Stoclin
- The Online Javascript Minifier - by Vance Lucas
These tools allows us to make use of the famous Yahoo Javascript Compression algorithm. Both of the above references does the same More >
Ajax Load -Ajax Loading GIF Generator
Dec 18th
Who of those of you that use ajax on your projects aren’t looking around the web to find the perfect ‘loading please wait’ GIF for your brand new web application or site? I have to confess that I was one of them. I am not a designer, I can program any web application in a matter of days but when it comes to design… puff… It is the reason why I am always crawling the web for ‘inspiration’.
One of those days crawling I found an online tool created by kath called Ajax Load – Ajax Loading GIF Generator. There you don’t need More >
