Delete from multiple MySQL tables
I have just spent the last half hour scratching my head over how to delete from 2 tables, joined by a unique ID. For some reason, MySQL kept spitting out: Unknown table ‘myTable’ in MULTI DELETE. Many visits to the MySQL manual still made me scratching my head (Yes, looking back on the manual makes me hit my head for not noticing the “Note” about a third of the way down the page).

jQuery tooltip
Sorry for the lack of updates recently but I have been swept off my feet with work. A couple days ago I redesigned part of my companies website, Centation, whereby I needed to make a little jQuery tooltip to add a dynamic flair to the page. Well, I didn’t need to make one, but the lack of quality jQuery tooltip plugins forced me to. I thought I would give you the code of how I did this, and give you a couple demonstrations.
