I have this in my controller:
model.LatestPosts = db.TPGForumPosts.Select(v => v).OrderByDescending(d =>
d.dateCreated).Take(5);
This gives me the 5 latest posts.
I am going to display them on my cshtml page.
Is there an easy way to convert the date to days/months since today?

One option would be to use some jQuery and the timeago plugin: http://timeago.yarp.com/
Your view would need to look something like this:
<script src="jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery.timeago.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<abbr class="timeago" title="2008-07-17T09:24:17Z">July 17, 2008</abbr>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("abbr.timeago").timeago();
});
There are a couple of options for this. If you want to go client side then TimeAgo or Moment.js are good options. To do this in .Net you can use NodaTime which is a great date/time library for .NET.

For my current project, I need to fetch data from the server and update the chart with a seperate navigator series data. When I do this, the diagram itself is shrinking, each time I call
chart.update({
navigator: {
//actually it doesn't matter what is written here
}
});
It looks like it shrinks exactly as much space as would needed for another navigator.
See this jsFiddle
It's already fixed on a master branch of Highcharts repository. In order to use the newest version of library please change links from:
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/stock/highstock.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.highcharts.com/modules/exporting.js"></script>
to:
<script src="https://github.highcharts.com/stock/highstock.js"></script>
<script src="https://github.highcharts.com/modules/exporting.js"></script>
You can use those links until the new release comes out (what should happen this week), but we don't recommend using GitHub version on production enviroment.

First of all, I'm a novice at this stuff so excuse my "ignorance."
I am creating a form in order for customers to schedule a test drive on a vehicle they are interested in purchasing. I have found jquery code which I've included in the head section as follows:
$(function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ autoSize: true });
$("#time1").timePicker();
// 09.00 AM - 03.30 PM, 15 minutes steps.
$("#time2").timePicker({
startTime: "09.00", // Using string. Can take string or Date object.
endTime: new Date(0, 0, 0, 15, 30, 0), // Using Date object.
show24Hours: false,
separator:'.',
step: 15
});
});
In the form, I have added the following:
<b>Pick a Date and Time</b><br>
<span class="auto-style7">Date: </span>
<input type="text" id="datepicker" name="testdrivedate" style="width: 91px" /><br>
<span class="auto-style7">Time: </span>
<input type="text" id="time2" name="testdrivetime" size="10" value="09.00 AM" style="width: 87px"/><br>
The datepicker works well, when the user clicks in the field, the calendar shows up just below the field and when a date is selected, the field is populated with the date selected.
However, the timepicker field does not work. 09:00 AM appears in the form, but when the user clicks in the field, no drop down appears in order to allow for selection of a different time.
Where have I gone wrong?
Thanks for any assistance.

Based on your comment above, I would guess your code is not executing because you have not included jquery.timePicker.js in your code. Download the file and include it like this:
<script src="path/to/your/js/file/jquery.timePicker.js"></script>
You don't need to include datePicker.js because datepicker is a plugin included with the jquery-ui library. (So really you do have datepicker included!)
Also, looking at your comment, you do not need to have a ; after declaring a <script> tag
Like this:
<script></script>
Not like this:
<script></script>;
EDIT
I found the issue, it appears the jquery.timepicker.js library is quite old (2009). It was developed with a much older jquery version. When I run jquery.timepicker.js with a newer version of jquery, I get this error in the console:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'opera' of undefined on jquery.timePicker.js line 130
When I checked line 130 in jquery.timepicker.js, the error was complaining about $.browser being undefined. You are using jquery 1.9.1, and as of jquery 1.9 the jquery website states this about the $.browser object:
This property was removed in jQuery 1.9 and is available only through the jQuery.migrate plugin. Please try to use feature detection instead.
See this page for more information on the jquery browser element: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.browser/
It looks like you would have to try and use the jquery.migrate plugin if you want to get $.browser and jquery.timepicker.js to work. I'm not sure how difficult this will be as I've never used the jquery.migrate plugin before.
As another a solution, it looks like jquery 1.8.3 plays nicely with both jquery.timepicker.js and jquery-ui 1.10.3 (which is what you are also using). You can either use jquery 1.8.3 instead of 1.9.1:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
Or you should use the latest version of jquery, jquery-ui and a newer jquery timepicker plugin. On google search, the first entry for jquery timepicker is this one http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/ dated May 5th, 2013 which is quite recent. That might work better for you.
Good luck!
I know this question has been asked 3 years ago, so I was wondering is there anything new and/or better than it was 3 years ago.
Currently, I am using GoogleVisualr ( http://googlevisualr.herokuapp.com/ ) and I like it...it is simple and easy, but it lacks radar charts :(
So, I was wondering is there any other free and easy charting solutions? Javascript or flash is good for me, but I need to have radar charts.
Thank you

I use and recommend Highcharts. It's not free, but it works well and has lots of features. Also, it's very well documented and has tons of working code examples on the site.
Development licenses (I believe) are free so you can try it out at no cost then pay only if you decide to use it. The price isn't too high either considering the time it saves.
Check following code,
<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.google.com/jsapi'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
google.load("visualization", "1.0", {packages:["imagechart"]});
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
function drawChart() {
var dataTable = new google.visualization.DataTable();
dataTable.addColumn('number');
dataTable.addColumn('number');
dataTable.addRows([
[100,10],
[80,20],
[60,30],
[30,40],
[25,50],
[20,60],
[10,70],
]);
var chart = new google.visualization.ImageChart(document.getElementById('radar_div'));
var options = {cht: 'rs', chco: '00FF00,FF00FF', chg: '25.0,25.0,4.0,4.0', chm: 'B,FF000080,0,1.0,5.0|B,FF990080,1,1.0,5.0',};
chart.draw(dataTable, options);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id='radar_div'></div>
</body>
</html>

Have you looked at d3.js?
Also found someone who has [shared] (https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/protovis/GsFB1l1Mo_g/geLerhwvbdQJ) their code to create radar graphs using protovis which still available.
Finally, someone else's [sample] (https://gist.github.com/1630683) of radar graphs using d3.
I have a featured content slider on my homepage here: etiquetteplus.net
That slider loads fine in old versions of IE and FF. But new versions and with chrome it doesnt.
I get theses errors, but I am not sure what they mean.
ui.core.js:179Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ':' of undefined
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ':' of undefined
Uncaught TypeError: Object function (E,F){return new o.fn.init(E,F)} has no method 'widget'
I have tried newer versions of jquery but that didnt help either. Any suggestions? Thanks!
there seems to be allot going on here but the most important thing I see off hand is on line 41 of your source code you include jquery and colorbox like so
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.etiquetteplus.net/wp-content/themes/etiquette/js/jquery.colorbox.js"></script>
then on line 86 you load a really really really old versions of jquery
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.etiquetteplus.net/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.3.2'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.etiquetteplus.net/wp-content/plugins/wp-faq/js/wp-faq.js?ver=2.9.2'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.etiquetteplus.net/wp-content/plugins/wp-faq/js/jquery/ui.core.js?ver=2.9.2'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.etiquetteplus.net/wp-content/plugins/wp-faq/js/jquery/ui.accordion.js?ver=2.9.2'></script>
i also see this error
Error: Error calling method on NPObject!
Source File: http://www.etiquetteplus.net/wp-content/themes/etiquette/js/sifr.js
Line: 17
in ff error console
then on your html is not valid
on line 210 you have a closing
</a>
tag with no open you spans a span without close etc...
you need to make sure you are using only one version of jquery and you need to validate your html
i use web devloper addon in firefox to help trouble shoot there are all kinds of cool things to help you get a good working site in order. ff only has a built in error console that will help as well
I am sure that there are more problems that what I have shown here. but if you do diligence and comb your code and html with a fine tooth comb you will get it working correctly. If you get stuck post another question (not duplicate of course) and someone will help.
good luck

I'm using "Jquery UI 1./Dan Wellman/Packt Publishing" to learn JQuery UI. I'm working on the 'Dialog widget' chapiter.
After I've completed a series of exercises in order to build a Dialog widget (using Google Chrome), I then tried my work with Internet Explorer and Firefox.
The result has been disappointing.
Chrome was perfet
With Internet Explorer, (1) the title of the Dialog widget did not appear, (2) The location of the dialog widget was not correct (given the position: ["center", "center"]). It was rather offset toward left.
With Firefox, the location was respected. However, only the outer container was visible. the content was missing, just a blank container.
Also using Option Show:true and Hide:true did only work with Chrome.
I wonder now if JQuery UI was meant to be used only with Google Chrome. I just think that I might be missing some directives to make it work with major browsers (as the author claimed in his book).
Here's the code. Since, I'm using ASP.NET MVC, certain codes, such as the element to the css, do not appear. But, for the rest, all the functioning code is bellow.
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<p>
The goal of this tutorial is to explain one method of creating
model classes for an ASP.NET MVC application. In this tutorial,
you learn how to build model classes and perform database access
by taking advantage of Microsoft LINQ to SQL. In this tutorial,
we build a basic Movie database application. We start by creating
the Movie database application in the fastest and easiest way possible.
We perform all of our data access directly from our controller actions.
</p>
<div style = "font-size:.7em" id = "myDialog" title = "This is the title">
In this tutorial -- in order to illustrate how you can build model classes
-- we build a simple Movie database application.
The first step is to create a new database. Right-click the
App_Data folder in the Solution Explorer window and select the menu option
Add, New Item. Select the SQL Server Database template, give it the name
MoviesDB.mdf, and click the Add button (see Figure 1).
</div>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content3" ContentPlaceHolderID="ScriptContent"
runat="server">
<script src="../../Content/development-bundle/jquery-1.3.2.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Content/development-bundle/ui/ui.core.js"

<script type = "text/javascript">
$(function() {
var execute = function() { }
var cancel = function() { }
var dialogOpts = {
position: ["center", "center"],
title: '<a href="/Home/About">A link title!<a>',
modal: true,
minWidth: 500,
minHeight: 500,
buttons: {
"OK": execute,
"Cancel": cancel
},
show:true,
hide: true,
bgiframe:true
};
$("#myDialog").dialog(dialogOpts);
});
</script>
Thank for helping.
EDIT
I've re-done the same exercise yesterday. From the beginning to the end, each time I've introduced a behavior, I've tested my work in all 3 browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome).
Everything works until I add option Show and Hide. Then only Chrome works.
If I remove Show and Hide, everything works again.
If I keep only Show and Hide, everything works perfectly
Maybe Show and Hide options for dialog widget do not mix up well with other options.
Thanks for helping.
No, jQuery UI works in any of those browsers. It's probably either the steps you're following don't work so well with the version you're using or the version you're using is old. I've used jQuery UI without issue on both browsers. If you don't believe me, then open this URL in your browser:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/
In Firefox 3.6, it loads just fine for me.
I'm not an expert on jQuery UI, but providing the code here might help.
jQuery supports all the major browsers however there are know issues with;
Firefox 1.0.x
Internet Explorer 1.0-5.x
Safari 1.0-2.0.1
Opera 1.0-8.x

We have successfully implemented a Dialog widget without major issues. We did have some problems making sure the correct versions of the libraries were created. I would suggest you build a custom file using the jQuery UI download tool. This will put all the necessary files in a single minified file.
If the Dialog examples don't help then posting code will be necessary to obtain further help.
EDIT:
I have anchors created with the classes dialogOpen and dialogClose and use the following code to utilise the created UI Dialog;
$(document).ready(function(){
var dialogOpts = {
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
width: 840,
height: 560
};
$(".dialogOpen").click(function(){
$("#myDialog").dialog("open");
return false;
});
$(".dialogClose").click(function(){
$("#myDialog").dialog("close");
return false;
});
$("#myDialog").css('display','block').dialog(dialogOpts);
$(".ui-dialog-titlebar").hide();
});
NB: The use of the css function when creating the dialog stops the content appearing on the page before the Dialog is created. We needed this because our dialog has flash.
You may be missing something. It surely works in all major browsers.
jQuery is ment to be cross browser. Any errors with this can have to reasons
- Programmer's error
- Explicit incompatibilty
There are some explicit incompatibility's with IE5.5 and IE6 in jQuery. They are in the comments of jQuery and a good js compatible IDE like netbeans will allow targeting and warn you about it.
I never had any problems with the dialog widget positioning or contents.
jQuery UI is most definitly not designed to work with Google Chrome only.
I've successfully created applications using jQuery UI working on all major browser platforms.
jQuery UI (and jQuery) contain code to work around certain browser issues.
Of course there can be issues in jQuery UI which show on IE, like this one, but those are certainly not by design.
