Last active November 2, 2024 12:56

Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.

	echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
	. ~/.bashrc
	mkdir ~/local
	mkdir ~/node-latest-install
	cd ~/node-latest-install
	curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz \| tar xz --strip-components=1
	./configure --prefix=~/local
	make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...
	curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh \| sh

Titanium tableView with a continuous amount of data.

	//
	// in this demo, we simply show how you could dynamically scroll
	// with a continuous amount of data in the tableview by detecting
	// when the user's scroll position gets near the end of the table
	// and start a background fetch of new data and seamlessly append
	// the new data to the table automatically
	//

dawsontoth / LinksInWebViews.js

Created March 3, 2011 16:54

The following snippet takes over links in webviews, causing them to do nothing but Ti.App.fireEvent('linkClicked', { href: 'http://example.com' }). This lets you load in web pages, and control what should happen when a link is clicked.

	var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({ backgroundColor: '#fff' });

	var html = '<html><body>'
	+ '<a href="http://pedro.com">Pedro</a> '
	+ '<a href="http://is.com">is</a> '
	+ '<a href="http://a.com">a</a> '
	+ '<a href="http://balla.com">balla!</a>.'
	+ '</body></html>';
