(part 1)

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.

Diaries are bad for you, mmmkay?

Diaries are bad for you, mmmkay? 09/09/2004 03:53 AM
New Scientist says that diaries are bad for you:

The UK researchers speculate that this is due to the fact that diarists are likely to mull over trauma more than those who do not keep a record of their failings. Sort of makes sense, even though I'm sure there is some relief in penning down your feelings.

But this is actually one of the reasons blogs are not just net diaries. Unlike diaries, which are usually protected by locks and cupboards, and guarded with fierce flames of privacy, blogs are for sharing things. Blogs thrive with readership, which makes them somewhat akin to peer support groups. Blogs encourage discussion and hopefully, responses from people. And even if nobody replied or commented, there is some relief that somewhere, someone reads your blog. Somebody finds it interesting enough to keep subscribing, regardless of the angst you pour out.

And that is a comforting thought.

Richard Bell's nature diary has been online since 1998.

John Lautner's Chemosphere: part
Jetsons, part Bond and vintage L.A.
Modern. 04/07/2005 12:53 PM
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?

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?

Javascript Mojo

Stuart Langridge has released a couple of very neat new Javascript experiments. sorttable makes any data table on a page "sortable" by clicking the table headers. I've seen this effect used to demonstrate Microsoft's proprietary "behaviors" technology but Stuart's solution has the advantage of being standards compliant and working across different browsers. Best of all, it follows the principles of inobtrusive DHTML and hooks in to the markup using only a class attribute.

Stuart's second experiment, JavaScript Event Sheets, is even more interesting. It tackles the problem of attaching events to page elements. The most common way of doing this is with inline attributes, but these require adding behavioural (rather than structural) code to your markup and can lead to additional maintenance costs further down the road. A better alternative is to use the DOM to dynamically add events, which works fine but means tightly coupling the structure of the document to the Javascript that sets up the events. Stuart's solution is to abstract the logic that attaches events to elements out to a separate file, called a Javascript Event Sheet. This uses CSS style syntax (partially handled by my getElementsBySelector function) to specify how events attached to different elements should be handled. Stuart demonstrates the idea with a common image rollover:

img.rollover {
  mouseover: rollover_handler;
  mouseout: rollout_handler;
}

Stuart's blog entries concerning the two new experiments are here and JavaScript Event Sheets.

Laurens created a nice hack in Javascript, that allows you to write: var typeInSet = nodeType in set(2, 3, 4, 7, 8); I have never even used the in operator in Javascript for anything else than loops like for (prop in obj).

Syndication with JavaScript

Syndication with JavaScript 07/02/2004 09:40 PM

JavaScript Syndication: How to Easily Syndicate Your Web Content: Here's an extremely well-done article on using JavaScript includes to syndicate your content. Very in-depth with many code samples and diagrams.

If you are syndicating to websites that are not under your control, you don't know that the webmaster will have the expertise to implement a syndication strategy using XML. You might be syndicating to a small company that used FrontPage to make the website; they certainly can't set up a dynamic process to fetch an XML feed from your site, cache it, and integrate the data into their site.

I'm almost more impressed with the presentation of the article than with the content. We need more Web content like this.
