Figured out how to make them apply with the rather ugly .on() handler. It works but I absolutely hate it, no idea why they got rid of .live(), looked much nicer, I mean, what the hell is this?

$(document).on({

mouseenter: function(){

//do stuff},

mouseleave: function(){

//do other stuff}

}, “.actualSelector”);

ew.

Unexpected issue with jQuery event handlers that I hadn’t planned for. When new content is updated to the page through an AJAX reuest, the existing event handlers aren’t applied to it for some reason. After a fair amount of researching it appears this could have been solved with the .live() handler, but that has been deprecated as of 1.7 :S Will continue looking for a solution.

After a fair amount of work I’ve been able to get a good way of AJAX requesting my application with use of the Response::ajax() method. It seems to detect all AJAX requests flawlessly, not quite sure how it does it but it works so yay

Well I’ve hit my first roadblock in my major work so far. Basically it centres around the way that Laravel handles views and what data is shared within them.

That’s the noise you make when you think of a really good idea. Like a really good one. Don’t deny it. We all have these moments and today was my turn to be overly enthused about an idea that may never come to fruition.

Like with all my ideas I can already see the final, finished, successful product. I’m already thinking about patents, hiring people and a workplace to go with it. Although its unlikely that any of this will ever happen, you can always dream.

To all future readers, mark today, the 23rd of January 2013 as the day Tyrone contemplated entering the fashion industry.
