Alternating html table colors, in javascript!
by Lonnie on Feb.05, 2009, under Programming
Recently I was working on an e-com project where I was given a database that contained the customer’s product catalog, but the catalog contained tons and tons of html tables that contained no id’s or classes whatsoever .. they were just vanilla tables that made use of the “TH” tag for the header row, so at least i could style that without hassle.
I could easily do some styling to all the tables, but what I really wanted to do was alternate the row’s colors so that everything didn’t run together, but without a class for each row (odd/even for example) .. I couldn’t do it in CSS.
That is where Javascript comes in! read on for more..

Joomla Tips: Dynamic header images (1.5)
by Lonnie on Jan.14, 2009, under Joomla
When Joomla 1.5 came out, not many components existed for this task … I wanted to be able to specify an image for the header based on whether it was the front page, a specific article, or a specific component .. I also wanted it to be able to fall back to a default image if none existed.
This article covers how to do that right in your template!
Multiple domain names in Joomla 1.0.x
by Lonnie on Jan.14, 2009, under Joomla, Programming
If you’re running Joomla 1.0.x and you’ve tried to get more than one domain name pointing to it, then you’ve no doubt realized that it doesn’t really work out that well. I mean, the site will come up but the moment you click a link you will be sent directly to the original site url.
Well this aims to give you a quick, easy solution!
