I was working in a simple interactive form where when a text field get a certain value , the checkbox next to it will be checked, text box will be disabled, also, upon clicking the chekbox will cause the same operation. i first completed the checkbox click operation first. now i had 2 ways-
* make the operations in a separate function & then call it upon text box get the certain value & also check the checkbox manually by code.
* simply generate a click event on the checkbox.
* while trying the second way, i fall in a problem. when we actually click a check box, its first render the checking/unchecking operation & then execute the click event handler. but in case of the manual genration of event, casing reverse, first executing the click handler & then checking uncheking it. then , specially for my problem, as it will be checked for sure(as text box is enabled), i used the following solution:
$(check box-selector).attr('checked','checked').click().attr('checked','checked'). and i got my expected result.

Obviously, for other input elements, this problem shouldn't be occured as for no other elements we will have to checked a input element's status. Such as for a button to be clicked, we can simply use

$("#buttonId").click() and this will work perfectly and will be caught by right handler on time and no ambiguous situation will occur.
Today in the morning, i got an email from the operations manager of freelancer.com(getafreelancer before) with the update of golden member ship fees & project fee. In brief they are as follows:

* golden membership will be now $19.95/month instead of $12(current rate). :(
* Project fee will be cut from project winner(service provider) of amount 3% instead of 0%(before, golden members didn't have to pay this fee,only standard members did). :(
* golden members will get opportunity to update their profile of job category up to 50 categories instead of 25(current).[The only good news for us :)]

They are increasing the fee because of their rapid growth now a days. They are now 800th-900th traffic rank on Alexa. this is the second highest among freelance sites i experienced, just after elance which is 700th of traffic rank, but specially for companies & fees are too high.

Also, the deadline for the logo contest is very near(20th November midnight). If you have design skills, you can register there & submit a design for their logo. The best logo designer will get a $15,000 as the winning prize.

Also, frelancer.com is becoming popular and popular day by day for Bangladeshi freelancers & software companies(i have seen a lot of companies from Bangladesh growing through getafreelancer in the last 1 year).

Another major benefit is that, it now supports portfolio system only for 'golden members'. They have added a new tab in the account management section, where golden member can upload screen shot, categorize & add description of their works in a full portfolio style. These will be also visible on bid page.



Although the fees are increased, but still, its the lowest fees i have seen on freelance sites than other popular sites like elance,odesk,rentacoder etc. So, wish freelancer.com a best wishes, hope this grow more and more day by day. Also, don't forgot to checkout my gaf profile so that, if you are looking for web development service related to my skills, hire me on freelancer.com!!!!!
I was making a table rows with zebra stripping style. With the features that, hovering a rows, will change the row color. But, surprisingly my code wasn't working while my js code was perfect like follows:

$(document).ready(function(){
$('.strip tr').mouseover(function(){
$(this).addClass('over');
})
$('.strip tr').mouseout(function(){
$(this).removeClass('over');
});
$('.strip tr:even').addClass('even');
});

the style was as follows:

tr.over td{
background:#993399;
}

tr.even td{
background:#e9e1cb;
}

it caused me headache , why isn't working. At last, i found the problem. this is . "MY CSS STYLE ORDER WASN'T CORRECT". That means, when a jquery function is calling like $('.strip tr:even').addClass('even'), it assigns the class & then render all styles associated with this element. And as css is rendered in interpretation mode(last style shows always among all conflicting styles), so, every time mouse is over a row, it is assigning the class 'over' & then renders the style-sheet, as a result styles of 'even' class is rendering last & getting that style always & the hovering effect wasn't showing at all. just by reversing the style-sheet as follows:
tr.even td{
background:#e9e1cb;
}
tr.over td{
background:#993399;
}

gives the expected result. This reminds me & taught me a lession that we also always need to be aware of styles ordering.
