Understanding The JavaScript Event Model
(part 1) 07/17/2002 11:08 AM
This may be news to you, but JavaScript comes with a powerful and flexible event model, one which provides developers with a standardized way of trapping and handling client-side events like keystrokes and mouse clicks. This two-part article takes an in-depth look at how this event model works, demonstrating some practical (and not-so-practical) uses of the most common event handlers.

This opens up a whole new set of questions about bounties. People who help each other create worms and viruses can turn around and backstab their partners for the bounty (and, of course, then be accused back by those they fingered).

The most modern home built in the world. "From the outside it looks like a spaceship you cannot enter. But if you go inside, it feels very cozy… very Zen and calming. Maybe because you are floating above the city, in the sky". John Lautner's Chemosphere residence is the product of a fortuitous union of architect, client, time and place. Leonard Malin was a young aerospace engineer in late-1950s L.A. whose father-in-law had just given him a plot north of Mulholland Drive, near Laurel Canyon. The only catch: at roughly 45 degrees, the slope was all but unbuildable. Lautner sketched a bold vertical line, a cross, and a curve above it. "Draw it up," he told his assistant. Now publisher Benedik t Taschen owns Chemosphere (NSFW), and after 20 years of neglect the house has been beautifully restored (.pdf) by Frank Escher.

Going JavaScript-less? 02/18/2004 02:19 AM

How many people actually shut off JavaScript in their browsers? In the Web development world, you're constantly advised not to depend on JavaScript because "[insert double-digit percentage here] of Web surfers shut off JavaScript."

I have never known someone who shut off JavaScript. I have used a lot of computers in my life — many not my own — and never in one case have I noticed that JavaScript was intentionally disabled. I have never had anyone I know tell me that they shut off JavaScript to solve a problem. I have never even been remotely tempted to do this myself.

Is there anyone out there who has actually shut off JavaScript in their browser? Can you tell us why?

Curious Javascript in .NET

Curious Javascript in .NET 04/26/2004 02:08 AM

I've never had the opportunity nor the inclination to do anything with .NET; at work we use open source tools for all of our web development, and I prefer open source tools for my own personal experiments as well. At any rate, the javascript:__doPostBack links I've seen on .NET powered sites such as Channel 9 and Orkut plain give me the willies.

Anyway, I decided to view source and see what __doPostBack actually does. Here's the function:

function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
  var theform;
  if (window.navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("microsoft") >
-1) {
    theform = document._ctl0;
  }
  else {
    theform = document.forms["_ctl0"];
  }
  theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget.split("$").join(":");
  theform.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
  theform.submit();
}

Note the use of a dubious user-agent based browser detection method. Now what I just don't understand is why that browser detection is there in the first place. There are numerous ways of accessing a form by name using Javascript. document.forms['form-name'] is part of DOM level 0, and is supported by virtually every browser since Netscape 2. document.form-name is a Microsoft invention. The thing is, document.forms['form-name'] is supported by MS browsers as well. So why do a browser detect and use the MS only method when just using the other method with no detect would work equally as well?

When Macromedia launched the latest version of Flash in its' seventh incarnation, the developers decided it would be a good idea that it would take its' popular scripting language, ActionScript, and rebuild it from the ground up. The results have produced a far-more advanced and stricter programming language. More in some ways to C++ than to ECMA JavaScript from which the original language was based. Even long-time Flash programmers and developers realized that with the changes in the language, a great deal of education would be needed to get up to snuff.

Safari RSS

Safari RSS 07/01/2004 01:46 PM

I haven't had a chance to talk about this, but I thought I'd again start by briefly clearing up a point of confusion. Safari RSS is not the name of the entire Safari browser on Tiger. It is the name of the RSS/Atom feature in Safari itself. If you pull down the About information in Safari on Tiger, you'll see that the version is 2.0.

Safari 1.0

Safari 1.0 11/03/2003 09:08 PM
The fastest and easiest-to-use web browser ever for the Mac.

Safari 1.3

Safari 1.3 04/16/2005 01:24 AM

Those of you running Panther can now update to 10.3.9. This update includes Safari 1.3 and new versions of WebKit, WebCore, and JavaScriptCore that contain thousands of improvements we've made to the engine since Safari 1.2.

What you are getting is all of the new standards support, new WebKit capabilites, site compatibility fixes and performance optimizations that are also present in Safari 2.0 for Tiger. The layout engines for the two are virtually identical.

Here are some of the highlights:

Page Load Performance
Safari 1.3 loads pages overall 35% faster than 1.2 as measured by IBench. In addition to improving the overall page load, Safari 1.3 will display content sooner than 1.2 did, so that subresources don't hold up the initial display of the page.

JavaScript Performance
We have substantially improved the performance of the JavaScript engine in Safari. I encourage you to check out Safari 1.3 on this benchmark for example to see the improvement relative to 1.2.

HTML Editing
Safari 1.3 supports HTML editing, both at the Objective-C WebKit API level and using contenteditable and designMode in a Web page. The new Mail app in Tiger uses WebKit for message composition. You can write apps that make use of WebKit's editing technology and deploy them on Panther and Tiger.

Compatibility and Security
Compatibility and security are our number one priority in WebCore, and Safari 1.3 has many important compatibility fixes. For example, percentage heights on blocks, tables and cells now work much better in Safari 1.3. min/max-width/height support has been added. More of the table-related CSS properties are now supported. DOM methods like getComputedStyle are now supported.

The DOM Exposed
The entire level 2 DOM has been exposed a public API in Objective-C. This means various holes have been filled in Safari's DOM level 2 support. In addition to exposing the DOM to Objective-C, the JS objects that wrap DOM objects can also be accessed from Objective-C, allowing you to examine and edit the JS objects themselves to inject properties onto them that can then be accessed from your Web page.

XSLT
Safari 1.3 on Panther now supports XSLT. 10.3.9 includes libxslt, and Safari uses this excellent library to handle XSLT processing instructions it encounters in Web pages.

Plugin Extensions
For those of you writing WebKit apps, a new Objective-C WebKit plugin API is supported that lets you put Cocoa widgetry into the Web page more easily. In addition enhancements to the Netscape Plugin API (made in conjunction with Mozilla Foundation) have been implemented for plugins that require cross-browser compatibility.

Did I mention it's really really fast? :)

In case you're curious about differences between the Tiger and Panther versions of the engine, they mostly have to deal with frameworks that changed underneath WebKit. For example we have new faster image decoders on Tiger (that also handle PNGs correctly), so you'll find that Tiger fixes some of the PNG gamma issues that will still exist on Panther. In addition the new decoders are incredibly fast and are now run on a separate thread on multi-processor machines on Tiger.

The network layer has also been improved on Tiger, so this may be another source of differences in behavior between the two operating systems. Overall, however, it's likely that content and applications you develop with WebKit will behave identically on the two operating systems.

Let us know what you think.

XUL in Safari

XUL in Safari 10/29/2003 12:12 AM

Safari 1.1 is included with the new release of Mac OS X, Panther. From Dave Hyatt's list of Safari 1.1 features:

A complete implementation of the XUL box model. Safari on Panther supports the complete XUL box model, including horizontal and vertical boxes, the ability to flex, and the ability to reorder content and reverse content. If you're building canned content that you control using WebKit, you'll find a whole new range of layout possibilities at your disposal. Need to create dynamically sized headers and footers and flexible center content? The XUL box model can do that. Need to center an object within the viewport? The XUL box model can do that too.

With Microsoft's alternative to XUL seemingly a few years away, are Apple looking to beat them to it with an implementation that's compatible with Mozilla?

Safari 1.1

Safari 1.1 10/28/2003 11:08 PM

Safari 1.1 is here. Those of you who picked up Panther can take it for a spin. This release is big step forward from 1.0, chock full of bugs fixes, improvements and UI refinements.

As far as new WebCore features, here's a few highlights:
(1) Better standards support. You'll find fixes for positioning bugs, overflow bugs, floats, tables, gzip support, generated content using ::before and ::after, DHTML. You name it, we've improved it.
(2) Speed. We're still fast, and we're only going to get faster.
(3) CSS2 support. In addition to all of the bug fixes to be more standards-compliant, we also added support for CSS2 properties like text-shadow and new display values like inline-block. Try using text-shadow in conjunction with ::selection. It's cool. :)
(3) Safari on Panther supports rgba values in CSS for specifying border, background, foreground and shadow colors.
(4) Support for the CSS3 opacity (using -khtml-opacity) property. Make entire blocks and inlines transparent without resorting to transparent PNGs.
(5) A complete implementation of the XUL box model. Safari on Panther supports the complete XUL box model, including horizontal and vertical boxes, the ability to flex, and the ability to reorder content and reverse content. If you're building canned content that you control using WebKit, you'll find a whole new range of layout possibilities at your disposal. Need to create dynamically sized headers and footers and flexible center content? The XUL box model can do that. Need to center an object within the viewport? The XUL box model can do that too.

And in case you're curious, here's what we've already got working post 1.1 in WebCore that you can look forward to:
(1) Support for the title attribute using tooltips
(2) The ability to tab to all controls in a Web page and to manipulate them from the keyboard.
(3) Support for table border collapsing.
(4) Support for the CSS cursor property.
... and a whole lot more ...

Enjoy the upgrade and as always send us your feedback (trackbacks preferred). We're listening.
