That is the way that the match function works. Just pop the value off of the array that it returns.

OK, I see that now.

Cool! Thanks!

eta: I was doing an alert on the result. Didn't realize you could alert an array!

vwbug, turning off trackbacks and pingbacks only applies the setting to new posts/pages - to turn them off on old posts:

• Go to the list of posts and tick the tickybox in the bar at the top of the list to select all the posts on the page.
• Look for "Edit" in the "Bulk Actions" dropdown, and click "Apply".
• Look for "Pings: Allow/Do Not Allow."

You'll have to do this once per page of posts, but it sure beats going into each one by hand.

Also, pingbacks suck.

Wordpress/Blogger question:

For some reason, if you add my Wordpress link to a blogroll on Blogger, it shows that my last post was 10 months ago. I don't think that was the last post I imported in my initial switchover, so I can't figure out why it's not updating.

I initially thought it might be a caching issue on the other person's site, but I just added the link to my old blog at Blogger and it's doing the same thing.

Ideas?

amych, thank you!!! I knew I was missing something. And yes, they are completely annoying!

So, anyone here ever worked with the Javascript plugin jQuery?

Because I may have questions.

So, anyone here ever worked with the Javascript plugin jQuery?

I've worked with it a fair bit, although I'm hardly ninja-grade. What up?

Well, I just solved my most recent problem with the jQuery autocomplete function.

I don't suppose you know how to hide the iPhone keyboard in Safari when a textbox has the focus? I mean, without disabling the text box or shifting the focus off it. (I'm using the jQuery autocomplete on the text box, so I don't need the keyboard.)

eta: My boss hates the iPhone Safari scroll thing you get for a web dropdown box.

Sorry, can't help much on that one - showing/hiding the keyboard is more in the land of iOS stuff than jQ, and I'm not sure I've ever seen a trigger for it that isn't giving/removing focus. (There are a couple of suggestions along those lines here, using blur events or dummy elements: [link] Out of curiousity, what's the use case for not shifting focus while never typing in it?

btw, are you using jQuery Mobile, or just jQuery? They're different beasties; you might want to keep your searches to jQ Mobile since you're looking specifically for iOS events.

(edit: xpost on the use case. Sigh, bosses.)

Have you seen Chosen? It's a jQ plugin that de-uglifies long ugly dropdown type things quite nicely. Disclaimer is that I have no idea what it does on mobile.
