Going JavaScript-less?







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?

The Problem with JavaScript


The Problem with JavaScript 03/20/2003 01:05 PM
JavaScript is the scapegoat for many of the Web's problems, including pop-ups, pop-unders and other much-maligned browser behaviors. The language's reputation also has been sullied by malware, such as the infamous Nimda worm, that uses it to spread through the Web. The truth, however, is that JavaScript is not to blame.

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.

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.
