Resize or Crop Image before Upload Using HTML5 File API

I've always loved how Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter and all the major social network platforms maintained sanity of uploaded profile pictures through the use of instant resize at upload time. Of course not only profile pictures need to be made to conform to a specific dimension, if you find other scenarios during development when you need to ensure that your images are of a specific height and width, or aspect ratio then this article will help you do just that. You may also just want to give the user ability to resize before final upload, this article will help you do just that.

The tile one was much of a controversy although I have been indifferent about it all the while. I particularly love Cortana, the search assistant who made me remember the office assistants that used to come with the office suite back then. The euphoria I experience was a perfect disguise, however, for the ambush that was ahead. Issue: I went ahead to open VisualStudio and launched the project I was currently working on.

Get Creative With Data Tables: Row Click Events

Introduction Datatables from datatables.net are so lovely, especially with the responsive extension that you can enable by including dataTables.responsive.js in your project. I particularly find fascinating the combination of search / filtering, pagination, ordering and exporting features which are available right 'out-of-the-box'. Issue Well, as great as datatables are, you will find it difficult if not impossible to develop a system with acceptable user-experience using bare-bone datatables implementation. In my own case, because I was porting my superb Asset and Inventory Management Application found at asset.bz to the mobile platforms using PhoneGap, I needed the user to be able to tap on any record in order to perform some pre-define operations like editing, approvals etc. Solution Apparently, the solution isn't far fetched. The sample code below would do the job nicely: // HTMLTableData is your array of records to be displayed in the data table
