Addmap.js – automatically analyse a text for geo locations and add a map
by Ajaxian on Jan.29, 2010, under Ajaxian.com, Web development
As part of an upcoming article on geo location I am putting together a few Geo Toys for myself and here is the first one. Addmap.js is a JavaScript that analyses an elements text content, finds geographical locations and links them to Google Maps. It also adds a map preview and a list of the found locations to the element.
See addmap.js in action below - all the content in the green box is generated from the paragraph of text above it. You can try it out for yourself by clicking the screenshot.
Using addmap.js is easy - sign up for a Google Maps Key and provide it as a configuration parameter. Then call the analyse function with the ID of the element to analyse as the parameter:
-
<script src="http://github.com/codepo8/geotoys/raw/master/addmap.js"></script>
-
<script>
-
addmap.config.mapkey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
-
addmap.analyse('content');
-
</script>
The script uses YQL and Yahoo PlaceMaker under the hood, for more info and updates on this, check the blog.

How to Create Dynamic Tabs with jQuery
by WebAppers on Jan.29, 2010, under Web development, WebAppers
When we talk about tabs on web we usually think about tabs used for navigation. However, in this case we want to use them for showing different entities on the same page. We will try to simulate tabs as seen in browsers. Take Google docs for example, instead of opening each document in a new window (or browser tab), you could open them in page tabs.
Janko has written a throughout tutorial that shows you How to Use jQuery to Create Dynamic Tabs that can be added and removed dynamically. He has also mentioned how to use tabs and in which context should they be used in order to make them meaningful and usable.
Requirements: jQuery Framework

Cross-Domain JavaScript With Simple PHP Proxy
by WebResourcesDepot on Jan.28, 2010, under Web development, WebResourcesDepot
Using JavaScript, it is possible to load HTML, XML or JSON data with XMLHttpRequest.
However cross-domain JavaScript requests (reaching remote pages) are not possible due to browser security limitations except JSONP-formatted JSON data.
Simple PHP Proxy is a PHP script which aims to fill this gap by creating a layer between your JavaScript code and the remote domain to get data in HTML, XML or JSON formats.
Some features of Simple PHP Proxy:
- requested URLs can be white-listed & validated against a regex.
- optionally forward client cookies / SID to the remote server.
- optionally forward configurable User Agent to the remote server.
- requests can use either GET or POST request methods.
- remote data can be delivered as-is with all remote headers intact.
- remote data can be wrapped in a JSON/P structure that includes status codes & remote headers.
- if using JSON/P & remote data is valid JSON, it will be merged into the resulting data object.
There is also a demo which you can request any URL.

Canvas Benchmark
by Ajaxian on Jan.28, 2010, under Ajaxian.com, Web development

The Freeciv.net crew has benchmarked a path in their canvas game. It is one data point, and tests more than just Canvas itself because a lot of code is running in the game. Thus, it ends up testing the union of a particular JavaScript path and the rendering of the canvas.
Here are the results:

With Bespin we had slightly different results, and the bulk of the bottleneck was in the blitting of the canvas. Optimizations were made to canvas over the initial phase of Bespin so the various browsers would leap frog each other. Good times :)
