jQuery : Stop Jsnow Animation

How to stop Jsnow animation?
Hi, Jsnow is one of the light-weight jQuery plug-ins which is producing snow effect. Here, I want snow effect no longer after few seconds of initate and Jsnow is working in background continuously to make snow effect perfect. Obviously, this is affect event handling speed of other javascripts. And In my case, I have to stop Jsnow completely.

So I have added an option variable "stopSnow" and by default it is holding value "0" which is mean run snow forever and then made some changes plugin itself. By changing this value (in milliseconds), I can stop the snow completely.

Plugin Code:

Getting key/value pair from JSON object and getting variable name and value from JavaScript object.

 Hi, I had faced one issue like this. I have an JSON object but I don't know any key name but I need to get the all the key and corresponding value from JSON object using client side JavaScript. Suddenly I wondered whether it's possible or not, after that I had done lot of workaround and finally got this solution. See the below example.    function getKeyValueFromJSON() {     var jsonObj =  {a:10,b:20,c:30,d:50} ;     for ( var key in jsonObj) {       alert( "Key: " + key + " value: " + jsonObj[key]);     }  }  In this example I have created the one json array as string, and converted this string into JSON object using eval() function. Using for-each loop I got all the key value from jsonObj, and finally using that key I got the corresponding value.  Finally I got the alert like this,    Key: a value:10    Key: b value:20    Key...

Meteor tutorial - Part II - Building mobile applications

In my previous blog post , I have explained basics of meteor. In this tutorial I am going to add mobile support to the existing meteor application. Installing mobile SDKs Before going to start we need to install IOS and android SDKs (Software development kit). Here I am installing SDKs for iOS. Please keep in mind this is one time process. For installing iOS SDKs, we need to invoke “meteor install-sdk ios”. The same way you can install android SKDs by invoking “meteor install-sdk android” command. Adding mobile platform support I am using already created application called “myapp” and going to add iOS platform support by invoking a command “ meteor add-platform ios ”. We can add android platform by invoking a command  “ meteor add-platform android ”. Running application on mobile emulator Once we add mobile platform then we can run our application by using real mobile device or emulator. I have added IOS platform to myapp already. Now I am going to ru...
