Pre-populate Visualforce Form without a class

The solution below can cause issues when using jquery so I am now using this solution: Apex: <apex:inputText label=”Customer Number” value=”{!cnumber}” id=”custsearch” styleClass=”form-control”/> Jquery: <script> $(document).ready( function(){ $(“input[name*=’custsearch’]” ).val( “{!cid}” ); setTimeout(function() { $(‘input[name*=”{!focus}”]’).focus() }, 1000); }); </script> >> End Update Something that should be easy is relatively hard to do without busting out apex: Take the…

Loading Bootstrap CSS and JS in to a Visualforce page.

There are a couple of resources which I have linked below that go through how to download, namespace, and then get working with Salesforce.com. One piece that seems to be missing is an example that works. Sounds crazy but I was not able to get the scripts/style sheets working (that is my story and I’m sticking to it!)….

How to reset your Security Token when the option is missing

Starting Zmconfigd…Killed error message fix.

This might be basic linux administration but this error message had me chasing my tail for about an hour before renaming the zmconfigd.pid file under /opt/zimbra/log directory. Rename the file and do a zmcontrol restart. “Starting Zmconfigd…Killed”

Converting Physical Drives or Partitions to Vmware vmdk (P2V)

Note: This assumes you are trying to virtualize a Windows OS. What if you had a perfectly good working hard drive but the machine that was running it was dead, DOA, not working, or had been upgraded with a new hard drive and OS? Connecting that to a machine and getting the files is easy enough…

Working with a new test server, I wanted to save myself some time and hassle of burning a DVD and just boot off of USB. This being a test server I logged in to Microsoft MSDN and downloaded the latest greatest version of Windows Server with all the R2’s and Updates already applied to the image to…
