If you’re trying to use WordPress or Shopify plugins, you may not easily find the perfect bare bones implementation of a FedEx tracking box on your website. And if your site is fully custom, you have no choice but to code the FedEx tracking box yourself. This article steps in and guides you on how to write no nonsense HTML code to display your FedEx tracking box. I even have a working example on this page for you to play with.
Frontend (Client-Side)
When I write about front-end (or client-side) programming stuff, I post them to this section. So, here you will find content related (but not limited) to HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. JavaScript is a big deal these days. And with technologies like Node.js, it is now much more than just a client-side scripting language. So, depending on whether I'm talking about JavaScript for client-side or server-side work, you may find the content listed here or on the server-side page.
Working With JavaScript OnLoad Functions
A typical web page that uses JavaScript will usually have one independent script per task. For example, there might be one script to validate a form, another script for Google analytics, etc. This means that for each type feature or web page plugin, a separate script is necessary. This could become a problem when multiple scripts attempt to call a global function like the JavaScript onload function. This article discusses the problem, and a neat best practice method to fix it.

Maintain Scroll Position On PostBack Using JavaScript
Say you have a web form containing a div that contains a datalist. The rows of your datalist, (along with other controls) contain checkboxes. Now every time a checkbox is checked and unchecked, you need to do some server side validation in code before letting the user proceed. Your datalist contains tons of rows and by default, each time a validation occurs, the datalist “refreshes” and scrolls back to the top. This can easily get annoying for users and can ruin the general user experience. But we can fix it with a bit of JavaScript 🙂
