• Sorting a dropdownlist after postback

    17 December 2011

    I was asked the other day if I could sort a dropdownlist, after postback in the html markup of a page, using Javascript. This came from a colleague, I was sure I could do it so I fired up Expression Web and got stuck in, anyway this is how I solved this. The back story to this is that the dropdownlist could not be sorted serverside and the text used in the dropdownlist was a concatonation of serveral values as follows;

  • Restoration

    06 December 2011

    I was having a good clean out of my laptop the other day and was deleting projects that I had been using for testing and trialing different software, It's just housekeeping really, my laptop goes everywhere with me and over the course of months, nevermind years, I can have a good many projects that are doing nothing just taking up space and clogging my projects and websites folders in VS2008 and VS2010, some with connected SQL 2008 databases and associated users.

  • Scotland

    05 December 2011

    I've been up to Scotland a couple of times this year, such a great place. Where I usually stop in the Bothy at Badrallach I have been staying at my brother's place, I'm no David Bailey as you will see in the images below but I just wanted to get these saved and backed up really, anyway click an image to scroll through this Scotland gallery.

    That's the view you are after that lets you know you are nearly there
    Oh yes, we are in Scotland
    The view from my brother's house
    Nice beach a couple of miles away from him
    Ullapool, you have to and get some fish and chips
    An Teallach, a munroe opposite the Bothy we sometimes stay in at Badrallach
    What a view
    What a view zoomed

    take care everyone, John

    14 January 2011

    Hi and welcome to my blog and little corner of the interweb, I've needed to get a site up and running for quite a while now but just haven't had the time to sort one out, with a new year and a new start I thought I'd better get one up and running so here I am.

    I considered for a while the virtues of having a personal site seperate from my companies where at times I can be, lets just say, less professional but have decided to just incorporate both a personal and company blog into one and see ...
