YUI 2.7.0 Datatable Nested HTML Table Bug

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

For all you javascript hackers out there, I ran into a pretty good gotcha while laying out a web application interface today.

If you are using an HTML table element to do any layout (I know who does that really?), placing the YUI Datatable with sortable column headers will break!  This issue has been patched in YUI 2.8.0, but for those of us who are not living on the edge, here is the fix!

Via YUI library

Thanks YUI!

Debugging Symfony with Zend Studio

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

I must confess, Zend Studio 5.5 (haven’t upgraded to Zend Studio for Eclipse yet) is a fantastic tool.  I do all my php development in this environment, and the benefits are huge.

While I have been using the debugger triggered through the web browsing environment for several years, today I figured out how to debug code executed from the Command Line Interface.

QUERY_STRING=”start_debug=1&debug_host=127.0.0.1&no_remote=1&debug_port=10000&debug_stop=1″ ./symfony project:create-orders –application=admin

When you combine Zend Studio, Zend Debugger, the Zend Framework, and the Symfony framework you have a combination that can’t be beat!

Thanks to the Zend knowledge base for the CLI tip!
