Quick way to disable table header in JTable

Last week was Java week. It involved quickly adding a new tab to an existing Java applet application. The layout has a nice larger table header section and allows for the table itself to have a sub-header.

That is pretty slick. Until you don't need a sub-header :). After a bit of searching I found a pretty Perl-ish way to disable table headers in Java's JTable. 
myTable.setTableHeader(null);
I kept looking for a disableTableHeader method.

This week its off to Excel, Web Posts and VBA again... yikes.

  1. There is another way too,
    MyTable.getTableHeader().setEnabled(false);
    It's going to diable the table header. It's work fine for me. The table header it would be displayed but You can't click on it or drag or edit, etc. (sorry for my english)

2 ways to get SQLite to put dates into columns

2 ways to get SQLite to put dates into a column.
insert into mytable values( null, datetime('now') );insert into mytable values( null, strftime('%s', 'now'));The first one inserts a row somewhat like this:
1|2009-03-10 18:47:46

The second inserts an unix timestamp:
2|1236711411

It might be best to use that unix timestamp with an integer column type for dates since SQLite doesn't support a datetime one.

It makes comparisons and ordering much easier:
select * from dt where lu > strftime('%s', '2009-03-10');

Output of:
id|lu
6|1236643200
2|1236711411
3|1236711516
4|1236711518
5|1236711519But the formatting is pretty ugly. :-/

Hey what about formatting it within the select with the SQLite datetime function:
select id, datetime(lu, 'unixepoch') lu from dt order by lu;
id|lu
6|2009-03-10 00:00:00
2|2009-03-10 18:56:51
3|2009-03-10 18:58:36
4|2009-03-10 18:58:38
5|2009-03-10 18:58:39
Better but having to add that to each select is kind of a pain. I like adding…

BootstrapX clickover

Birth
The last few weeks, i've been pushing Bootstrap in various directions. Most of the time, its being hacking around Popovers. Our current design uses Popovers with forms. It provides a very nice balance between in page action and more subtle interruption to viewing the page than a modal.

Over the last few weeks, I've found a few quirks with using Popover's trigger action of 'focus'. This works fine with forms but on Chrome and Safari 'focus' events are supported incompletely. In addition to that varied support we have a few other needs that inspired a new Bootstrap extension. BootstrapX - Clickover.

Our requirements are:
Click button/link/icon to toggle display of popover contentOption to click 'away' from popover to closeAbility to have 'popover' autoclose after some amount of timeOption to have element inside of popover hide it
I suspect, in the future, it will need to only auto close when user's mouse leaves the clickover.

Bootstrap (by Twitter) loading in page content for Popovers

Bootstrap is a nice get started HTML/CSS/JS interface toolkit. At $work our newest design has been based on it and many of its components.

One of the challenges I've run into with the Popover element is generating in attribute content for complex elements.

The basic context is:
<a id="mypopover" href="#" data-content="stuff to display"> Label </a>
The popover gets the body from the data-content attribute. The other option that doesn't appear to be documented is using a function set in the options.

$('#mypopover').popover({ // other options here content: function(ele) { return $('#popover-content').html(); } });
This will load the html content from element '#popover-content' when calling 'show' on popover.

Note: If trigger element still has a data-content element, even if its empty, the content function will not be called by method.

My biggest issue still with Bootstrap tools is that they are not g…
