Attractive ADF.

Imho, attractive functionality is better than just functionality. In this post I'm going to show how you can use jQuery in ADF applications.

Advanced hotkeys in ADF.

In this post I'm going to share a way to get a fully functional hotkeys support in ADF applications.
AccessKey property has many restrictions which I don't like:

• it is a browser specific feature (accessKey is triggered by browser-specific and platform-specific modifier keys. It even has browser-specific meaning. For example, Internet Explorer 7.0 will set focus when you press Alt+. Firefox 2.0 on some operating systems you press Alt+Shift+. Firefox 2.0 on other operating systems you press Control+);
• I can't have hotkeys like Ctrl+Space;
• I can't trigger particular events;
• I can't set several hotkeys for one component;
• and so on.

So I've written a script which gives me ability to circumvent this restrictions and easily add hotkeys (and one auxiliary script which provides methods to obtain af:document component, attach listeners to dom elements in different browsers and initialize my custom libraries when document is loaded).

Obtaining hostname and printers via applet

In this post I'm going to show how to obtain client's hostname, printers and display them in the page.
