At work when I was assigned to a project, I didn't know how to deal with the UI part of it. I was afraid as any other back-end developer would be. But soon after researching a bit, I decided to give jQuery a try for this particular project.
In comparison to other JS framework, jQuery stayed most appealing to me. Reason being, small size, optional components, many (beyond, I could count) feature-rich plug-ins.
But while using the jQuery Grid plugin, I ran into a problem of not being able to set up advance search. Turned out, all I needed to do was use the new API.


And there I was, just adding

$.jgrid.no_legacy_api = true;

did the trick. :)

Long live jQuery. (ok Grid plug-in too :D)
