T-Sql - Keeping Top n rows in a table
The title sounds like related to a logging operation, isn't it? Well yes, it is.
In an existing logging operation, I needed to ensure that the number of log entries remained below a specified threshhold. And I came up with the following sql quickly:
ExtJs - Copying GridPanel single row data to clipboard
This blog post is more of a continuation of 2 of my earlier blog posts, Cross-browser approach to copy content to clipboard in javascript, and Copying GridPanel content to clipboard. I would advise reading of the above blog posts if you haven't already to understand the code being discussed below.

And just as I was to begin writing code for the same, I came across the wonderful Ext.ux.Printer class from Ed Spencer, that provided the necessary framework for printing any ExtJs component, and out-of-the-box functionality for printing GridPanels and TreePanels.
