Given the simple sorting code below which changes the order of <li> elements to ascending order and assuming that the text content of each li elements are numbers. $( function () { $( '#sortList' ).click( function (e) { // Select all the li items var numbersList = $( '#numbersList li' ); numbersList.sort( function (a, b) { return parseInt ($(a).text(), 10 ) > parseInt ($(a).text(), 10 ); }).appendTo(numbersList.parent()); }); }); The code should work only to find out that the page will only refresh after the button click. And then the re-arranging of the elements are discarded. The simple fix to this issue is to add the preventDefault() to prevent the button's default behavior that is to post back. $( function () { $( '#sortList' ).click( function (e) { e.preventDefault(); var numbersList = $( '#numbersList li' ); numbersList.sort( function (a, b) { var temp1 = parseInt($...

Hi, I was trying to load a JSON file located within my Visual Studio project using $.getJSON(), however the code below doesn't work as expected. $.getJSON( '/Assets/misc/employee.json' , function (data) { alert( 'processing!' ); }) .done( function (r) { alert(r.message); }) .fail( function (s) { alert( 'oops the file is missing!' ); }); After investigating for a few hours, I tested the local path of the JSON file such as http://localhost:3766/Assets/misc/employee.json and the result was an exception " HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map. ". I remember the solution in one of my ASP.NET project was to set the MimeMap in the web.config inside the system.webServer element. After setting the MimeMap for json files, I can now load local JSON files using $.getJSON(). <system.web...

Hello, Last night my computer shuts down unexpectedly due to power outage and when I opened an ASP.NET project this morning, it only shows "Attach" in the debug options. Running to different browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer were missing. After a few search, I encountered a solution which is to set again the ASP.NET Project as StartUp Project by right clicking the project and selecting the option Set as StartUp Project . That's it.. :-)
