This one was tricky. Clearing a select with a unique id using $(‘#mySelectId’).val(”), $(‘#mySelectId’).selected(”), or $(‘#mySelectId’).reset() will fail/break. Even setting the selectedIndex to -1 won’t work… Unless you specify the first object in the array of objects with that unique id (even if there is only one). Example:
$('#mySelectId')[0].selectedIndex = -1
Excellent! Even better than the OS X HexPicker

To change the status bar, the short bar with the time and carrier information, style for full screen web apps, place the following code in the
<head>tag:
Possible options include
default,black, andblack-translucent, which overlays the black strip on top of your content.Note that using
black-translucentchanges the viewable height of the page and should be accommodated for in your CSS.
Now, that’s slick!
The code snippet I use to quickly set up a place to play with jQuery:
Requires jQuery, and a some HTML.
function getTwitter(sn) {
var url = "http://twitter.com/status/user_timeline/"+sn+".json?count=1&callback=?";
$.getJSON(url, function(data){
$.each(data, function(i, item) {
var image = item.user["profile_image_url"];
var text = item["text"];
//changes the image size to 73x73px
image = image.replace(/normal/, "bigger");
});
});
//puts the image src in an existing img id=+sn+img
$("img#"+sn+"img").attr("src", image);
//puts the latest tweet in an existing span id=+sn+tweet
$("span#"+sn+"tweet").text(text);
}
//do it
getTwitter("tbeseda");
This is mostly to test syntax highlighting on tumblr, but I thought I’d share some code anyway.
