Note for myself, and those who find it useful.

try {
    var path = window.location.pathname.replace("/User/", "");
    if (path == "" )
        path="Userhome.aspx";
    $("#mainemnu a").each(function () {
 
        if ($(this).attr("href").toLowerCase() == path.toLowerCase() ) {
            if ($(this).parent().hasClass("submenuitem")) { //it is sub menu
                $(this).parent().parent().parent().addClass("selectedmenu");
            } else {
                $(this).parent().addClass("selectedmenu");
            }
        }
    });
} catch (err) { }

That was a simple Jquery Driven Javascript function that I call in Document ready function of Jquery.

["10:20","10:30","10:40"]

but it was returing something like

{“d”:”[\"10:20\",\"10:30\",\"10:40\"]“}

the difference is that it is converting the array in to string, however the ideal result can be

{“d”:["10:20","10:30","10:40"]}

But we cannot change that functionality now, so what I realise we should use the eval function of javascript to make our Jquery or whatever JSON parse you are using. So my Jquery code looks like

….

success: function(data) {
var items = [];
$.each(data, function(ind, val) {
var myobject = eval(val);
$.each(myobject, function(i, v) {                   
items.push(‘<option value=”‘ + v + ‘”>’ + v+ ‘</option>’);
});
});
}

…

this convert the String to Javascript object using Eval function. Easy enough !!!

However the JQuery is good in itself, but I realise that it depends on few things, and one of those is good HTML, if you are using Javascript especially with these libraries make sure you first validate your HTML. You don’t necessarily need to validate using HTML validator such as W3C validation, but a symmetric HTML is what you need. With Libraries like Jquery, I really wonder if we need Flash and Silverlight anymore ? Though I love to work on silverlight, never got a chance to use that in my project. But from Banner Flash to Jquery Banner, I opt for Jquery Banner, because they are simpler and faster to work. It took me 2 hrs to ingrate Paypal on HTML site, without making any new public page on site, as I just use Jquery Dialog to show the form and proceed with order. Client didn’t expect that and they are excited to get it that way. It make their money worth, and it ease out my work to make a form in template. which is indeed quite a work as compare to plain HTML form with no style at all.

If you are looking for web programming career, Javascript is must to learn with HTML. Without this if you want to be a programmer, then you won’t be. If you want any help on concept I am happy to help as it also help me learn more and more.

I am really a great fan of Jquery, it change the web developer’s life to make Great website out of Good websites. Long Live JQuery and ColorBox. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Let us check what we can do..Lightbox, read image tag with a tag and show image based on those, and this is what Videobox do, it read for “rel=vidbox” in anchor tag, and then it detect the type of video source to display the item in bigger div. What I do is I modify it to recognize images as well, i.e. if we put rel=”vidbox” in anchor tag for your images, (something we do in lightbox) my modified VideoBox code will read and check for extension jpg, jpeg, gif,png and if found i write “custom code” in variable this.other to show img tag instead of SWFObject or other.

Now VideoBox is no more a video only box, and it can handle Images for me as well .

 Simply change your JS line as

var str =’this is string in which I will replace is with ab’;
str = str.replace(‘is’,'ab’);

To this one…

var str =’this is string in which I will replace is with ab’;
str = str.replace(/is/g,’ab’);

And you get a new string where all “is” got replaced with “ab”.  /is/g  is a regular expression syntax where  ”is” is a string literal  we are going to replace and “g” signify that it will be replaced globally.

Hope it will help you in your search and replace .

 However, it is simply a math formula you need to learn but you should now the coordinates of location as well. Here is one beautiful article and Javascript method do to that

http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html

This script explain all its working and from where it is drived. Such a nice place to learn something new .

  So, I add this small JS code to do that for me, within body tag

for (i = 0; i < document.forms[0].elements.length; i++)

{

  if (document.Form1.elements[i].type == “text”)

{

document.Form1.elements[i].value = document.Form1.elements[i].name;

}

}

That solve my problem…
