Hey everyone,
Just a quick post on how to force a page refresh with JavaScript (no jQuery required):
location.reload();
Note that the reload function accepts a boolean parameter that can be used for force a server refresh. Alternatively, it just defaults to the cache.

Hey everyone,
Just a quick post on how to detect a file’s size with jQuery. I’m currently using a version of this for basic client side validation:
Upload image:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#image-file').bind('change', function() {
var fileSize = this.files && this.files.length > 0 && this.files[0].size ? this.files[0].size / 1024 / 1024 : 0;
if(fileSize > 0){
$('body').append('' + fileSize + ' MB');
}
else{
$('body').append('' + fileSize + ' MB');
}
});
});
.file{
padding: 5px 7px;
border-radius: 3px;
background-color: green;
color: white;
margin: 5px;
}
.file.valid{
background-color: rgb(127, 197, 127);
}
.file.invalid{
background-color: rgb(197, 127, 127);
}

Hey everyone,
I ran into the following error today while working with PayPal on a GoDaddy hosted server:
To fix it, all you need to do is add the requirePermission attribute to the section declaration. Note that this is not where it says paypal but under the configsections heading.
Hey everyone,
For some reason the “My Selling Tools” option is now missing on my production account. Unfortunately the only way to get around this that I’ve come across is to access the required features directly. For example:
