d(a).zindex is not a function

Can drive you crazy if it's really in form. Can fuse your every bit of good wits and you can start banging your forehead on your keyboard.

To the point:

Scenario: I was using jQuery UI datepicker. When I was generating the picker inline to a div, it was working correctly. But the moment I was binding it with a textfield, there you go:-

d(a).zindex is not a function

Which libraries were used in my header:

1) jquery.min.js
2) jquery.ui.datepicker.min.js


The reason:

I was selectively using just the datepicker portion from the entire UI library. And the problem was there itself. I overlooked the top portion of the jquery.ui.datepicker.min.js file which clearly stated this file had a dependency with jquery.ui.core.js

Solution:
I included jquery.ui.core.min.js (it could be jquery.ui.core.js either) among the scripts and there I was escaping the gravitational pull of the black hole namely 'd(a).zindex is not a function'

Hope this helps somebody who is equally confounded with this silly thing.

Cheers!

uTorrent: Data error (cyclic redundancy check)

For all those have been confounded by this error while downloading torrents, all the available blogs and posts on this suggests, your hard disk has gone for a toss. Delete the existing download, re-download. Kind of frustrating, really frustrating. My experience differs a bit. While in truest sense it is always true, that this error is coming due to read errors from your hard drive, it is not always true that it is a undo-able physical error on your disk. It could be a logical one. This means, there's still chance for you. Breath and schedule a scan on your drive the next time Windows (I was using XP professional, SP 2) starts. This again depends on which drive you got the error on. If its the one which the operating system is having exclusive access to, you have to schedule the check, the next time your OS loads. If its a secondary drive, you can do it with few clicks only without a re-boot. If you are lucky, Windows would correct the error, and you'll have your download back,...

Photo upload to Facebook from your PHP web application

Recently I was asked by one of my clients to develop a feature on his website so that a user on that website may click on a button and publish an image from his/her account (on that website) to his/her facebook account. While doing so the system would ask for the users facebook credentials. Sounds simple? Yeaah...apparently its simple but when you start getting your hands dirty you slowly realize you are in deep mess. Particularly if you are a first timer as far as developing on facebook platform is concerned. There are multiple ways to achieve this. Using facebook connect or using a facebook application specially developed by yourself to accomplish the task. I followed the second approach. I'm trying to outline the exact steps you need to perform to get this up and running with least pain. And yes, the following examples would all be in PHP . Login to facebook, click on the developers link available in the footer section of the page and follow the steps so that ultimately you end...

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, The drawbridge fight - Unimaginable torture

I really don't know if this is worth a post, but the amount of frustration and pain I've endured crossing the infamous 'drawbridge', that I decided to write something here, and frankly I'll take out a lot of frustration against the game makers and the game itself in this post, and you'll find a lot of abusive words in here. So if you are a big fan of the either or you just want to read a decent article with nice and clean language, please stop reading here and go read one of those millions of posts which would leave you with a pleasing impression about the game-play of the game. First things first, I love Prince of Persia, well that's why I play. I fell in love with PoP when I played the 'Prince of Persia 3D'. I loved it because the wonderful levels, the castles, the mysterious Persian structures, and graphics. At that time also I hated few things about it, the camera movements, the way the player was allowed to control the prince, etc etc. Now after...
