Responsive Lazy Loading plugin for JQuery | BttrLazyLoading To GMT or not to GMT Montreal, Canada Wednesday, February 29th 2012, 11:18 EST A leap day with a post on Date/Time issues seems fitting... Earlier today, on twitter, @skoop asked: "dear #lazyweb, when I use DateTimeZone('GMT'), why does format('e') output UTC?" What he means is that: $date = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('GMT')); echo $date->format(DateTime::RFC2822 . ' e' ); which shows: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 16:26:23 +0000 UTC As you can see that has UTC and not GMT as you might expect. If you look closely at the documentation for the "Other" group of timezones, it lists with the GMT timezone as warning: "Please do not use any of the timezones listed here (besides UTC), they only exist for backward compatible reasons." $date = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('GMT')); var_dump($date); Now apparently some systems *cough*Silverlight*cough* require GMT to be used. $date = new DateTime('today GMT'); var_dump( $date ); Things like this also work: And of course, this is not limited to GMT only:

How to Create a Accordion Menu (CSS3+jQuery) [Tutorial] Topic: jQuery / CSS3Difficulty: IntermediateEstimated Completion Time: 30 mins As you may noticed a few days ago we released a tutorial about How to Create an Accordion Menu in Pure CSS3. As this pure CSS3 Accordion Menu will not work on all browsers because the :target selector in not supported in the oldest browsers we decided to create a jQuery version of this menu. Also jQuery offers more stability and cross browser compatibility support so if you want to provide to your visitors/client a better product you may consider use this jQuery version.

For your secondary theme to be applied, provide an array of themes instead of just one. Changing the size of the arrow might be the only challenging customization but it's doable! Updating a tooltip's content ⇑ It's easy as pie to update a tooltip's content - whether it's open or closed. $('#myelement').tooltipster('content', 'My new content'); // or when you have the instance of the tooltip: instance.content('My new content'); Tooltipster plays a subtle animation when the content changes. Using AJAX to generate your tooltip content ⇑ One great use for this is to grab dynamic content for your tooltips via AJAX. Forcing or disabling sides ⇑ Predefined behaviors
