HenrikJoreteg / JS Util solution using underscore.js

Created October 22, 2010 21:20

Rather than creating some other util global, just extend underscore.js with any additional methods you want.

	// If you don't use underscore.js, use it (http://documentcloud.github.com/underscore/)
	// Then, use underscore's mixin method to extend it with all your other utility methods
	// like so:
	_.mixin({
	escapeHtml: function () {
	return this.replace(/&/g,'&')
	.replace(/>/g,'>')
	.replace(/</g,'<')
	.replace(/"/g,'"')
	.replace(/'/g,''');

HenrikJoreteg / Unselectable.html

Created December 7, 2010 16:53

For single page apps with lots of dnd, disable selectable, turn on for exceptions.

	<!DOCTYPE html>
	<html>
	<head>
	<title>Some single page app</title>
	<style>
	/*
	Here's the magic, we take the unselectable attribute and make it more powerful
	in browsers that support it see here for more:

HenrikJoreteg / straight_include.py

Created December 15, 2010 16:06

A Django Template tag for including files that you don't want to parse as templates

	"""
	Straight Include template tag by @HenrikJoreteg

	Django templates don't give us any way to escape template tags.

	So if you ever need to include client side templates for ICanHaz.js (or anything else that
	may confuse django's templating engine) You can is this little snippet.

	Just use it as you would a normal {% include %} tag. It just won't process the included text.

	server = true;
	}

	exports.TeamModel = Backbone.Model.extend()
