A simple example of responsive wrapping layout with CSS Flex

If you have been living under a rock, then you probably have not heard about CSS Flexbox and Grid layouts. The old days of float layouts are over for responsive design! Now you can create simple responsive wrapping layouts with CSS Flex.

 So, without further ado, here is the example:

<style>

div.container {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: left;
    align-items: center;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    column-gap: 10px;
}

</style>

<div class="container">

    <div>Item 1</div>
    <div>Item 2</div>

</div>

There you go, an example on how to wrap child div elements or anything for that matter inside the parent container using Flex.

An example of chaining jQuery Ajax request callbacks

Chaining is a great way to separate your Ajax request callbacks' code and run multiple commands/functions on one element in a row. The fail callback function is a must for finding out if anything goes wrong with the HTTP request. I recommend the below code for alerting your user of anything going wrong with a request. You can have the error posted to any notification system you have. For demo purposes, I am using the vanilla alert function. As a bonus, I have added comments to the code for explanation. $.ajax({     // request information goes here }).done(function(data,textStatus,jqXHR){     // handling of successful requests goes here      // please note this will not fire if there is a failed request, use the always chain for that }).fail(function(jqXHR, exception) {     // handling of bad requests goes here     if (jqXHR.status === 0) {         alert('Could not connect to the s...

Creating hashtag hyperlinks on the fly for your website

In this post I am going to show you how to take any string of text containing hashtags and convert them into clickable URLs, AKA "hyperlinks". Okay, to get started we will first need some text containing hashtags. $text = 'You can find #programming help at my #blog.'; Now we will use the following regular expression pattern to find all hashed words in the string. $pattern = "/\#([A-Za-z0-9_-]*)/is"; It's important to note, that with this pattern, if you include anything inside the brackets, like a period after the 9, it will find the period with the word. With this pattern we can pass it into the PHP preg_replace_callback function. The callback function will return our matches found and replace all hashtags with clickable URLs. $text = preg_replace_callback($pattern,      function($matches){           $nohash = str_ireplace('#','',$matches[0]);           return '<a href="?tag='.$nohash.'" target="_self"...
