IE 10 in IE7 compatibility mode returns error: 'SCRIPT3: Member not found'


Lately I upgraded my Internet Explorer to newer version which is 10, and was quite happy about it, but that doesn't seem to last long, when I tested my site changing the browser mode IE7, specifically using IE10, then jquery have thrown an error saying "member not found" , I was not surprised as such issues I have seen before as well, and was sure that there was JS code messed up from my side, after scanning through all the methods etc. I was not able to figure out anything, even was not sure what to search on Internet.

 After introspecting it was clear that this bug was not coming while I was using IE 7 from IE 9 browser installed, it came only after upgrading.

 At last, I found the root cause, it was not the jquery, not my JS code, not the custom dropdowns, even not all the pages were throwing this error, this was due to the jquery validate plugin, and thanks to jester12345 who acknowledged the bug at https://github.com/jzaefferer/jquery-validation/issues/845 and gave pointers, but before that 4 productive hours were already burnt with absolutely no solution at all.

 The workaround is very simple 
Change line 33 of the jquery Validation plugin from:
this.attr( "novalidate", "novalidate" );
to
this.prop( "novalidate", "novalidate" );
and there you go.
May be Microsoft or Jquery gonna do something about it, but it was initially a nightmare. 
Thanks

Dynamically generate Text Box and update its value in database

Hi Guys, This Post is in reference to the time I spent in order to write just a piece of code in PHP, though it would be very easy for most of the guys but if you are still learning then its a good thing to be proud of. Ok let me explain a little about what I was trying to do and how I did it. Requirement : I need to list down all the names of guys who falls under a certain category and display them on another page. I can do this by creating static text box in the landing page and fetch the value from the database OR I can dynamically generate the text box and display all the data there. For that first call the sql query of the condition like this. $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `list1` WHERE BLAH BLAH"); Now use the While query in order to get all the data required  <?php       while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql))       {           ?>       <tr>       <td  align="center" valign="middle" scope="row">

Jquery Carousels

Jquery Carousels we all love carousels they are a fantastic way to give the effects we want our visitors to have, more than that we have multiple components to show like images, links, text etc. There are lot many ways to achieve it, Jquery is ofcourse the best possible option available outside. We all search for lot of ems it can be Jquery Flexslider  or Jcarousel Lite  whatever you choose, customization is required, in this tutorial I am not going to focus on how to install these libraries rather one step ahead, to let you know how these carousels can be called multiple times in the same page having their controls working respectively for each carousel instance. So, lets get started with the HTML <div id="sideRight"> <div id="first">       <!-- Do not change the class and tag type, as this will remain as it is for all the following divisions-->       <p class="containheader">Plans for you <a href=&quo
