Using “asalt”

Erin: “How do we keep them out for sure then?”

Bobo: “We’ll use a salt”

Erin: (shocked) “Don’t you think that’s going a little too far?”

plan ahead and pass the event object

If you’re going to hardcode event handlers right into your HTML, (perhaps its being delivered from a php page) there’s 2 ways you can do this:

or:

Function for way A looks like:

runFuncAndTargetIsTHIS( elem )
{
    alert( elem + ' is the HTML element that was clicked' );
}

While way B:

runFuncButNeedToExtractTarget( e )
{
    e = e || window.event;
    var target = e.target || e.srcElement;
    alert( target + ' is the HTML element that was clicked' );
}

Some people say you shouldn’t do things using Way A. But I find Way A sometimes convenient. The only reason I can think of right now that Way A is bad is its easier to cancel propagation (cancel bubbling) of event registered using way B.

javascript:: cool blog

this entry explains how to use window.setTimeout( code, delay );

the first argument can be a function object

amusing post

This artist muses on how good icons will not attract too much attention to themselves. Good icons will allow the user to communicate his will to the application program with an intuitive ease — kind of like ‘an electronic ouiji board’, he says.
