[jQuery] Re: Creating DOM elements on the fly
It's already built in. For your example:
var inputBox = $('input').attr(type, text).attr(id, someText);
Or even:
var inputBox = $('input type=text id=someText');

[jQuery] pngfix and css background images problem
Hi all, check the background of this page on FF and in IE: http://www.ortelli.net/temp/woo/ The footer background works well in IE: it's a background image, not repeated. For the header and the main content the background is vertically repeated and the transparency/background is not applied... Very strange behaviour... any idea? You can download the full package here: http://www.ortelli.net/temp/woo/woo.zip Thanks in advance :P

The jQuery function $() can parse HTML, as can the various DOM
functions (append, prepend, appendTo, etc):
$('input id=foo type=text/').appendTo('#myForm');

Karl,
Question, I've still learning jQuery, so please forgive me as I am
not 100% sure if I will poise the question correctly.
When you do something like above, is the element already in DOM or
just saved in a variable inputBox? ready to be added (i.e.
appended) to DOM at some later point?
For example, if that is the case, what is the next step to add it to
DOM?
Something like Erik showed?
$(inputBox).appendTo('#myForm');
Thanks Karl.

As I far as I remember this is because your element having the ID

[jQuery] Re: Dynamic Form Validation?
I suppose that you need a custom rule due to validation plugin don't
support relations
between fields.
With jQuery.YAV (http://jquery.com/plugins/project/jquery_yav) I can do:
input id=t1 name=t1 type=text class=equal
alt={params:'some_value', require: 'pre-condition', condition:
{name:'mycond', type:'implies', id:'t2', msg:'Please this field if
required if you write a t1 value'}} /
input id=t2 name=t2 type=text class=required
alt={require:'post-condition',condition:{name:'mycond'}}/
And My JS code:
$(#theform).yav();
Example (write some_value in the first field):

[jQuery] .reset() methods for forms
Hello there.
As I mentioned in my comment at
http://www.learningjquery.com/2007/08/clearing-form-data#comment-9943
I think it would be useful to have a reset method in the core, along
the lines of:
$.fn.extend({ reset: function() {
return this.each(function() {
$(this).is('form') this.reset();
}
} });
For a small amount of extra code in the core, people could then reset
their forms and carry on the chain ala. $('form').foo().reset().bar().

They are very handful when I must to do some operation on subset of elements: $(p:gt(4)).show().gt(10).css(color,red); Or, if you need to operate multiple time on same collection: var my_coll = $(p); my_coll.gt(3).css(color,red); my_coll.lt(3).css(color,blue); This stuff cannot be done by solely in selector expression. -- Dragan Krstić krdr http://krdr.ebloggy.com/

A practical example where I was intended to use dynamic creation of

The WCQ Editor allows for device independent creation of
questionnaires from a single source definition WCQ file. For example:
;
ACTIONNUMBER 1
ACTION DISPLAY

NEXT Default
;
ACTIONNUMBER 2
ACTION QUESTION
PROMPT Leave mail on the server when picking mail via POP3?
TYPE YesNo

ACTION QUESTION
PROMPT What are your contact email addresses (upto 5 allowed)?
TYPE Text
DESTINATION EMAILADDRESS(5)
MAX 70
NEXT Default
;
ACTIONNUMBER 4
ACTION END
NEXT Default
For Console users, a text based interactive question/answer dialog is
created from the WCQ file. For Web users, the server creates JS and
forms. My goal was to pull the JS creation from the server and move
new generalized JS/jQuery code to the client. The feed would be a
JSON structure feed in via .getJSON(WCQ_URL)
So for ACTIONNUMBER #3, that has the multi-input destination:
PROMPT What are your contact email addresses (upto 5 allowed)?
DESTINATION EMAILADDRESS(5)
which defines 5 fields, if I was going to do this with jQuery, you
can then see what I am talking about.
This would be wrong, right?
function MakeEmailField(n) {
var inputBox = $('input').attr(type, text).attr(id,
email);
for (i =0; i n; i++) {
inputBox.appendTo('#myForm');
}
}
I would need to move the variable creation inside the loop.
function MakeEmailField(n) {
for (i =0; i n; i++) {
var inputBox = $('input').attr(type, text).attr(id,

inputBox.appendTo('#myForm');
}
}
Conceptually, it makes a big difference, probably has some

A single node can't appear twice in the DOM. But you can easily clone a
node.
http://docs.jquery.com/DOM/Manipulation#clone.28_deep_.29
First, let's call your variable $inputBox instead of inputBox so I won't get
confused. :-)
(A common - and helpful - convention is to use a $ prefix on a variable
containing a reference to a jQuery object, as a reminder that it's a jQuery
object.)
Then, do a deep clone of $inputBox each time you want to append it:
$inputBox.clone(true).appendTo('#myForm');
$inputBox.clone(true).appendTo('#myForm');
I think that should do the trick.
-Mike
[jQuery] Re: Creating DOM elements on the fly
You don't really want multiple fields with the same ID though, do you?
I think .clone() will help you:
function MakeEmailField(n) {
var inputBox = $('input').attr(type, text);
for (i =0; i n; i++) {
inputBox.clone().attr(id,email+i).appendTo('#myForm');
}
}
The initial $('input') bit creates a DOM node. Adding it the first
time adds it to the DOM, but adding it subsequent times is actually
moving it. If you did:
inputBox.appendTo('#myForm1');
inputBox.appendTo('#myForm2');
inputBox.appendTo('#myForm1');
I think you would find that the element would bounce back and forth
(with adequate between those calls obviously).
Sorting DOM nodes works the same way. You grab a reference to them,
sort them outside of the DOM, and reinsert them all back in the same
place they came from. They'll come out sorted because reinserting them
(via append() or some such) is actually doing more of a move:
$('#parent').children().sort().appendTo('#parent');
If you don't do the finally .appendTo(), you will have sorted them in
memory, but not in the DOM.
Anyways, a little off topic there. I hope that answers your question.

[jQuery] Re: Creating DOM elements on the fly
Actually, technically, what I suggested wastes the original node since
it never gets inserted, just cloned. Maybe this would be slightly
better:
function MakeEmailField(n) {
var $inputBox = $('input').attr(type, text);
for(var i = 1; i n; i++) {
$inputBox.clone().attr(id,email+i).appendTo('#myForm');
}
$inputBox.attr(id,email+n).appendTo('#myForm');
}
Noticed the loop starting value is different. This way, the cloning
only happens if you want more than one, which is a little more
efficient.

[jQuery] Switching the Content of the Carousel on Click
Hi Board,
the last 8hours i spent trying to work out a way to switch the Content
of the List on click. (ie. Tabs)
I started out with the Javascript Array Example where it loads external
Content.
Then i wrote a onClick Function which assigns mycarousel_itemList a new set
of Data.
This works but now i need to Reload/Reset the actual Carousel Object so it
adjusts
to the new Data Array.
I tryed everything i could think of but it just doesnt work.
Heres an Example:
-- onClick --
$('#mycarousel').jcarousel({
size:
mycarousel_itemList.length,
--initCallback:
mycarousel_initCallback,
itemLoadCallback:
{onBeforeAnimation: mycarousel_itemLoadCallback}
});
function
mycarousel_initCallback(carousel, b){
--- carousel.reload();
};
(Theres also a Reset Function but tryed it too)
So basicly i havent found any way of getting this accomplished. You guys are
my last hope.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, thanks. One thing I partially disagree with that Simon fella and
his excellent jQuery writeup, was the idea that if you can separate
yourself from understanding how jQuery works with foundation, then you
can discovery the power and make productive use of jQuery. I
generally agree, but ultimately to be an expert with jQuery, you have
to solid understanding of DOM and how jQuery uses DOM.
I have to remember that a variable is a node in the DOM tree. Does
that mean that when it initially created, it is hidden?
First, let's call your variable $inputBox instead of inputBox so I won't get
confused. :-)
(A common - and helpful - convention is to use a $ prefix on a variable
containing a reference to a jQuery object, as a reminder that it's a jQuery

Yes, I wondered about that when Karl used it without the $ sign. I am
a stickler to good style and convention. Points like this is very
helpful.
Then, do a deep clone of $inputBox each time you want to append it:
$inputBox.clone(true).appendTo('#myForm');
$inputBox.clone(true).appendTo('#myForm');
I think that should do the trick.
Thank you Michael. Your feedback is always useful, productive and

[jQuery] Re: Creating DOM elements on the fly
I have to remember that a variable is a node in the DOM tree. Does that mean that when it initially created, it is hidden? Not quite. When you create a DOM node from scratch, it exists in memory, but not as a part of the DOM (that is, the collection of DOM nodes that make up the page), and therefor it has no interaction with any of the DOM nodes on the page until it is added via one of the manipulation functions. So while it's true that it doesn't show up on the page as soon as you create it, it *isn't* *not* showing up because it is hidden (in the CSS sense), it's because it's not actually part of the DOM of the page yet. --Erik
[jQuery] Re: Creating DOM elements on the fly
If you find yourself doing this kind of thing a lot, it might be handy
to turn it into a plugin (totally off the top of my head and
untested):
(function($) {
var _appendTo = $.fn.appendTo;
$.fn.appendTo = function(parent, n) {
if(n) {
var id = this.attr('id');
for(var i = 1; i n; i++) {
_appendTo.apply(this.clone(true).attr(id,id+i).attr(name,id+i),
[parent]);
}
return
_appendTo.apply(this.attr(id,id+n).attr(name,id+n), [parent]);
} else {
return _appendTo.apply(this, arguments);
}
};
})(jQuery);
Then use it like:
HTML: form id=theForm/form
Script: $('input type=text id=email/').appendTo('#theForm', 5);
Would result in:
form id=theForm
input type=text id=email1 name=email1/
input type=text id=email2 name=email2/
input type=text id=email3 name=email3/
input type=text id=email4 name=email4/
input type=text id=email5 name=email5/
/form
And it doesn't break the usual usage of appendTo or chainability.

[jQuery] Re: Creating DOM elements on the fly
Yes, the 'window' object is the global object that everything is a
part of. The DOM for the page is under window.document (on FireFox
anyways, starting to get into details that I don't know a lot about).
If you were to do window.$someVar (no quotes) in your FireBug
console, you'll find your new DOM node.

Nice Erik! Definitely how I like to code! Perfect generalize

I do have a question from the your previous response.
If its not stored in DOM, then were is the variable stored? I'm not
referring to local scoping, but in general, like so:
script type='text/javascript'
var $someVar = null;
$(document).ready(function() {
$someVar = $('input').attr(type, text)
}
/script
Of course, global variable is a taboo, but even then, where is this
$someVar stored? The window object?

Or, if you need to operate multiple time on same collection:

my_coll.gt(3).css(color,red);
my_coll.lt(3).css(color,blue);
This stuff cannot be done by solely in selector expression.
I'm pretty sure this can be done with filter. In fact, a cursory test
with firebug on jQuery.com suggests it can:
$('p');
[p, p, p.surprise, p, p.download_link, p.download_link, p, p, p]
$('p:gt(2)');
[p, p.download_link, p.download_link, p, p, p]
$('p:gt(2)').gt(4);

$('p:gt(2)').filter(':gt(4)');

I'm all in favor of removing gt/lt/eq in favor of the selector version

required if you write a t1 value'}} /
input id=t2 name=t2 type=text class=required
alt={require:'post-condition',condition:{name:'mycond'}}/
And My JS code:
$(#theform).yav();

Come to the awards dinner and celebrate the good work of everyone and recognize the winners...which might be you! I'm not sure about the other cities, but I know AIR:Austin takes place in the fall. Also, there are other modes of participation, such as volunteering to help run the event, or program sponsorship. Also from the site, here's a list of 10 reasons why you should participate: 1. Your whole team gets the bonding experience of learning together how and why to make web sites accessible to people with disabilities (and PDAs and cell phones, and...) 2. All the coolest people have participated - frog design, Catapult Systems, MediaTruck, Bazzirk, IBM, Dell, Team Navanax, Nion, many many more. 3. Networking - get up close and personal with your peers in the industry and some of the very artists who keep Austin weird. 4. Access to new accessible design tools - and the folks who make them. 5. AIR judges are experts and become your friends. 6. Progress party, kickoff party, wrap party, awards party - BIG FUN! 7.

[jQuery] event bubbling - checking for the right element
Hi,
I've got a problem with event bubbling.
That works fine:
$(function() {
$(body).click(function(e) {
if ($(e.target).is(h2)) {
alert(Test);
}
});
});
But now I want something like that:
$(function() {
$(body).click(function(e) {
if ($(e.target).is(#test h2)) {
alert(Test);
}
});
});
[jQuery] Search for a parent element
Hi,
is it possible to find a parent element? See following example:

div4
/div
/div
/div
/div
$([EMAIL PROTECTED]).bind(click, function(ev) {
alert($(ev.srcElement).html());
});
If you run this you will always get the element under the mouse
instead of the _prop element (which you want to get). What I'm
searching for is something like:
$([EMAIL PROTECTED]).bind(click, function(ev) {
alert($(ev.srcElement).findParent([EMAIL PROTECTED]).html());
});

amount of time, else keep it hidden.
Heres is the code I have for the hover.
$('.full_img').hover(function(){
var description = $('a.selected img').attr(alt);
var width = $(this).width() + 10;
$('p.hidden').css('width', width);
$('p.hidden').html(description);
$('p.hidden').slideDown(slow);

Brandon,
There is actually a slight problem in this particular scenario, because
$(document).height() is returning 0.
Ext's jquery adaptor IS maxing out window and document, but because
document
is returning 0, window height is being used as the greater.
The only property I can find (using FireBug) that returns a height value
in
this scenario is document.documentElement.scrollHeight.
Using the code given in the EXT forum, I put in some tests...
Ext.onReady(function(){
var vw = $(window).width()
, vh = $(window).height()
, bw = $(document).width()
, bh = $(document).height()
, d = document.documentElement.scrollHeight
;
Ext.MessageBox.confirm('Confirm', 'Scroll the page up and down to

});
Breaking at Ext.MessageBox showed
vh = 529
bh = 0
d = 1320
Width values seem to be fine.
I've only looked at this (briefly) in Firefox, no other browser.
I don't know if this will help at all.

Jack Slocum has responded saying The problem was reported a while

jQuery that is not the case. You may want to log a bug there.

I did some more research into google groups and there isn't a threshold or a

the group has grown to over 3100 members. We'll be approving new accounts as
posts are made. I understand how frustrating it can be to have your posts
moderated at first. We'll make sure that legitimate members are approved but
it may take a day or two from your first post.
Initially the group was unmoderated for new members but we were having an
issue with significantly off topic posts for pharmaceutical products and
services that I'm offended to think they see the jQuery community needing!
(We're the elite upper society, we need no such gobbly goop!) Moreover it's
unfortunate that the handful of spamming accounts joining requires that new
accounts be moderated but so far I've banned 3 accounts and caught a number
of messages that would not fall into the family friendly nature of this
group. So please be patient as we approve you as you start contributing.

[jQuery] Jquery and IE problem
Hi All!
I have a problem with my jquery code in IE browser. See bellow:
I have two select: first - brand auto, second - model of auto.
select with models is generated depending of brand using jquery
instruments
brand.js
$(document).ready(function() {
$('select#id_brand').change(function() {
var url = '/ajax/brand/';
$.getJSON(url, {id: $(this).val()}, function(j) {
var options = '';
for (var i = 0; i j.length; i++) {
options += 'option value=' + j[i].id + '' + j[i].name + '/
option';
}
$('select#id_model').html(options);
$('select#id_model').removeAttr('disabled');
});
});
});
This code work in many browsers but not in IE. Can anybody help me? TIA
[jQuery] Re: Question about event.StopPropagation()
Hi Michael
I thought that since 'match' is a ID (div id=#match) that means it
is NOT a string, so I do I have the whole wrong idea about IDs? They
are just plain old strings?
Using the debugger is just what I need. I added the line to my code
$(div).click(function(event) {
debugger;
if (event.target.id != 'match') {
$(#text800birds).css( { background: #EE, color:
#FF} );
}
});
When I load the page Firebug opens (not everytime for some reason)
with the script tab showing and the line with debugger; in yellow and
to the right is the watch window.
I can then go into the console and type:
event.target.id and it shows its a null
event.target shows div class=clipframe
So does that mean that event.target.id doesnt work?
I wish Firebug had some documentation.

On Aug 16, 7:57 pm, Michael Geary [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
if (event.target.id != 'match')
Thank you for the syntax correctoin. But how does jQuery know
that 'match' is an ID and not an ordinary variable.
It's neither. 'match' is a string.
event is a variable. event.target is a property of the event variable, and
event.target.id is a property of event.target.
I have the handler set up but it seems to match any div that
is clicked including the #match ID which I want it to ignore. Grrr.
So I am wondering is there some kind of process I could
follow on Firebug that would help me see where things are going wrong?
I would add this statement where you want to look around (e.g. at the first
line of your click event function):
debugger;
Firebug will stop there and you can look at variables and stuff. For
example, you can type event.target.id into the Watch window and it will show
you the value of that property.
I wonder if it should be this.id instead of event.target.id? See what is in
them both...

my_coll.lt(3).css(color,blue);
This stuff cannot be done by solely in selector expression.
I'm pretty sure this can be done with filter. In fact, a cursory test
with firebug on jQuery.com suggests it can:
$('p');
[p, p, p.surprise, p, p.download_link, p.download_link, p, p, p]
$('p:gt(2)');
[p, p.download_link, p.download_link, p, p, p] $('p:gt(2)').gt(4);
[p]
$('p:gt(2)').filter(':gt(4)');
[p]
I'm all in favor of removing gt/lt/eq in favor of the selector version
with filter.

[jQuery] Re: Search for a parent element
HI,
Try to use the parent method, like this:

Hi,
is it possible to find a parent element? See following example:
div _prop=test1
div2
div3
div4
/div
/div
/div
/div
$([EMAIL PROTECTED]).bind(click, function(ev) {
alert($(ev.srcElement).html());
});
If you run this you will always get the element under the mouse
instead of the _prop element (which you want to get). What I'm
searching for is something like:
$([EMAIL PROTECTED]).bind(click, function(ev) {
alert($(ev.srcElement).findParent([EMAIL PROTECTED]).html());

[jQuery] Re: columnize large text ...
Charles,
Thanks!! :-) I like this script a lot, of course, so it's nice to hear that
others do as well.
Regarding HTML markup affecting column-ization (columnarization?): My script
checks the total rendered width of your element, so technically anything
should be allowed. However, right now all my script does is consider text;
the amount of text in each column is determined by your element's width.
So, if you include an inline image, for example, it probably wouldn't render
as you'd expect.
I do consider inline images to be a good feature to add next. I believe
it's something that many people will want to use.
Other feature ideas I find interesting are:
- Allowing users to specify the height of their element, or the columns, and
then paginate the text (I'd include links/buttons that allow you to page
through the text). This would be good so that your columns don't get so
tall that the user has to scroll up and down to read the text.
- Allowing users to specify the number of columns, rather than the column
width.
Widow-orphan control sounds very interesting. (It's great to get someone
with layout and design experience to comment on this, so thanks!!) While I
was testing this plugin, it actually occurred to me that the text could be
quite halted in this way, but I had no idea what to call it!!
How about this: If the user has p tags in the element, the paragraphs will
be kept together (i.e. not widowed/orphaned)?
Now that I think about it some more, perhaps it is a good idea to integrate
this into jQuery, because users can apply the behavior to elements of their
choosing. However, having users specify column options in a Javascript call
seems a little awkward (e.g. $(.MyColumnedElts).columns({width: 250px,
gap: 15px});). What do you think? I'd do it all with CSS, but
Firefox/Mozilla seems to remove CSS attributes that it doesn't apply;
originally, this library did use CSS (e.g. column-width: 250px;), but when
I iterated my elements in Firefox, they were gone.
Anyway, thanks so much for the feedback!! I'd love to keep improving this
library! I'd also secretly love to make it a jQuery plugin, so I can make
this platform even stronger ;-)
Take care, and keep creating!!

Very interesting, I have seen something similar (now somewhat
outdated) recently at http://13thparallel.com . However, what turned
me off was a lack of widow-orphan control, the layout nut in me can't
allow widows and orphans. There are other great features in this
script, do you have any plans to implement widow-orphan control?
It is also very nice that this is not a framework-dependent script,
but I think this would be awesome to write as a streamlined jQuery
function - jQuery will take care of cross-browser quirks on its own
(camelCase, cloning, event binding). Plus, that way you could
unobtrusively add properties without breaking validation. Hmm... also,
are HTML tags allowed in the text?
I am always looking for dynamic layout options, having text flow
between columns is something layout designers have been using for
years in print, it's about time to have a proper representation on
screen. Nice work.

Patrick,
I've just released a Javascript library that allows you to have your text
split into columns!
Check it out here:
http://pinkblack.org/text-columns/
You simply include the library in your document, and then do something
like
the following:
div columnwidth=200px columngap=10px
[My voluminous text goes here!]
/div
Now, your text will be split into columns that are, at maximum, 200
pixels
wide. Also, there will be a 10-pixel gutter between columns.
As your browser window grows and shrinks in width, columns will be added
or
subtracted dynamically.
This library doesn't depend on jQuery -- or any other library, for that
matter. It works in IE, Firefox, Opera, and Safari.
Enjoy, and keep creating!!

Brandon,
There is actually a slight problem in this particular scenario,
because
$(document).height() is returning 0.
Ext's jquery adaptor IS maxing out window and document, but because
document
is returning 0, window height is being used as the greater.
The only property I can find (using FireBug) that returns a height
value in
this scenario is document.documentElement.scrollHeight.
Using the code given in the EXT forum, I put in some tests...
Ext.onReady(function(){
var vw = $(window).width()
, vh = $(window).height()
, bw = $(document).width()
, bh = $(document).height()
, d = document.documentElement.scrollHeight
;
Ext.MessageBox.confirm('Confirm', 'Scroll the page up and down
to see
below the mask');
});
Breaking at Ext.MessageBox showed
vh = 529
bh = 0
d = 1320
Width values seem to be fine.
I've only looked at this (briefly) in Firefox, no other browser.
I don't know if this will help at all.

Jack Slocum has responded saying The problem was reported a while
back to jQuery. It has to do with viewport/document size not
returning
the largest value. If the document height is smaller than the
window
height, then the document height should be the window height. In
jQuery that is not the case. You may want to log a bug there.
The full write up on producing the bug is at

[jQuery] Avoiding anonymous functions - enhancement suggestion
Assigning event functions like click() require an anonymous function
for what is often a very small snippet of code. These anonymous
functions are confusing to inexperienced javascript coders and make
the code less readable, IMO.
I think it would be great to be able to pass a string to these
functions and have it internally turned into a function.
For example, instead of this:
$('#test').click(function() { alert('test'); });
I want to do this:
$('#test').click(alert('test'););
This simple code change seems to do the job:
// Handle event binding
jQuery.fn[o] = function(f){
return f ? this.bind(o, ((typeof f==string)?Function(f):f)) :
this.trigger(o);
};
Is it possible to change jQuery to accept a string in addition to a
function reference where possible? Although you would lose the
potential benefit of the closure by passing a string, you could always
pass the function ref instead if you needed to.

IMO this change would be far more complex that it seems because, for

That would have to be changed to include checks for Function:
if( (typeof f == function) || (f instanceof Function) )
and the call syntax for those are different. You can, as far as i
know, simply do f() when f is an instance of Function (i may be wrong
on that, but i don't believe JS offers any sort of operator
overloading for built-in types).
Not only would the core be affected, but plugin authors might also
have to go back and make similar changes, for consistency. The cascade
of side-effects is enormous.
i personally see no benefit, and several potential down-sides, to this
change.

Anton - As per your request, the buttons will be assigned a class called disabled when the carousel is in the first or last element respectively. This is applicable to non-circular carousels only. Cliff Lee - The bug you reported regarding clicking the previous button when the carousel is showing the first element, and then clicking the next button causes the carousel not to respond, should be fixed i suppose. Let me know. If you find the plugin interesting, don't resist yourself to digg it athttp://digg.com/programming/Merry_go_round_aka_jCarouselLite_with_jQuery -GTG
[jQuery] Re: Avoiding anonymous functions - enhancement suggestion
I cant comment on the merits of the technical aspects, but I do appreciate
Matt's desire to simplify and to suggest possible alternatives. This isn't
a love-it-or-leave-it community. We actively discuss ideas for changing
the base code. I think slamming ideas is a bad practice. It might not make
it into the code, but all ideas should have the benefit of the doubt that
the suggestion is thoughtful.
Regarding the specific suggestion
For example, instead of this:
$('#test').click(function() { alert('test'); });
I want to do this:
$('#test').click(alert('test'););
I used to feel uncomfortable with the function() {} part. It had alot of
parens and brackets to keep track of and made me nervous. However, it does
serve the purpose of reminding me that the stuff inside there is a series of
steps like a normal function is. The {} helps me to think through what I am
asking jQuery to do. Something like:
$('#test').click(
function() {
alert('test');
$(this).show();
}
);
So I am mixed about it. To me, Longer seems more understandable but
shorter is more readable.

Shouldn't that be (new Function(f)) instead of (Function(f))?
Is it possible to change jQuery to accept a string in addition to a
function reference where possible? Although you would lose the
potential benefit of the closure by passing a string, you could always
pass the function ref instead if you needed to.
IMO this change would be far more complex that it seems because, for
example, the following no longer applies:
if( typeof f == function ) { ... }
That would have to be changed to include checks for Function:
if( (typeof f == function) || (f instanceof Function) )
and the call syntax for those are different. You can, as far as i
know, simply do f() when f is an instance of Function (i may be wrong
on that, but i don't believe JS offers any sort of operator
overloading for built-in types).
Not only would the core be affected, but plugin authors might also
have to go back and make similar changes, for consistency. The cascade
of side-effects is enormous.
i personally see no benefit, and several potential down-sides, to this
change.

You work in an editor which doesn't do parent/brace matching for you?
So I am mixed about it. To me, Longer seems more understandable but
shorter is more readable.
But offering both approaches at once has problematic technical
implications, which i detailed in my first post. In summary, calling a
function() and a Function() cannot be done uniformly. That is, you
cannot do:
function f(a,b,c) { ... }
var f1 = f;
var f2 = new Function(...);
f1(1,2,3);
f2(1,2,3); // this won't work
And that means that the jQuery internals would have to accommodate
both cases if it were to support this syntax. A quick look in a JS
book implies that you could use f.apply() or f.call() for both
approaches, but that also requires fiddling with the arguments lists
(moving the args into an array). Also, according to this book (the
rhino book), Function.arguments is being removed from ECMAScript 3,
making it even more different from normal functions. And try
generically passing multiple arguments to the Function ctor... it
cannot be done generically - it would require a block for each
different number of arguments.
So, to respond more gently this time: my considered technical opinion
is that this change would result in so many bugs and workarounds that
it could no longer be considered a feature.

According to the rhino book:
A last, very important point about the Function() constructor is that
the funcions is creates do not use lexical scoping; insteawd, they are

That alone completely rules out their use for many use-cases as event
handlers, which often want access to variables from their containing
scope.

i don't think those are the same, as (Function(...)) is not creating a

object. Maybe i'm wrong on this, but it looks suspicious to me.

When a function takes multiple argument types you have to check what
those types are. That gets more complicated with two distinctly
different ways of having functions.
Once it gets past the initial call to click() or whatever, it is a
function all the way down.
If you define a new Function, the resulting object is typeof
'function'.
~ SpiderApe -e x=new Function('1');print(typeof x);
function
You're right - i wasn't aware of that.
There would be no visible effect anywhere else in plugins, etc.
i said earlier (in two posts) that the call syntax is different, but
that is apparently incorrect:
~ SpiderApe -e x=new Function('print(1);');x();
1
JS apparently offers special-case handling of this type.
The cascade of side-effects is enormous.
I don't see any side-effect at all, but I may of course be wrong ;)
My apologies - i grossly overstated the side-effects (/me smacks
forehead). But the scoping issue is still critical, as event handlers
often need access to variables from their contained scope, and that
apparently can't be done with Function objects.

alexfoxy wrote: The problem occurs when you hover over both tooltip and icon underneath, it begins to flicker. I know why this happens, but I don't know how to solve it. If you mean the quickly toggling on and off when your mouse is near the right side of the item, this happens because the so-called hotspot of the mouse physically changes when the mouse pointer switches between pointer mode and another mode. When this happens, the hotspot is over your item when the mouse is in pointer mode, but then the hotspot moves out of the item when it switches to its different mode. This is an unfortunate detail that we cannot fix at the JS-level (it's more a problem with the window manager or desktop environment, IMO, since it doesn't take care to keep the hotspot consistent). BTW, the hotspot is the part of the mouse pointer which is actually used for coordinate determination. When you have a pointer-style mouse pointer the hotspot is obvious - the tip of the pointer. When you have a hand-shaped or cursor-shaped pointer the hotspot is not so obvious. For a great example of this problem, visit: http://wanderinghorse.net/computing/javascript/jquery/spoilers/demo.html and put your mouse near the far right edge of the first Spoilers entry. When positioned properly you can see the mouse pointer switching modes. When it does the, the hotspot moves, which has the unfortunate side-effect of performing a mouse-out event because the hotspot is no longer in the widget. So... the fix is to keep your mouse pointer somewhere away from the far right edge of the tooltipped item.

focus is gone.

Exactly, which is the caveat I put in my original post. This does have
an advantage, though, in that potential memory leaks caused by
closures are always avoided. I've used Function() many times just for
this purpose, when the internal function doesn't need to retain any
enclosing scope.
b) Function(...) body is recompiled on each call, whereas function
does not.
Only each time it is evaluated, not each time the resulting function
is called.
For example,
for (var i=0; i10; i++) {
var f = new Function(alert('test'));
f();
}
That would re-compile the function 10 times.
But this:
var f = new Function(alert('test'));
for (var i=0; i10; i++) {
f();
}
compiles it only once, so there is no performance hit. And this would
be the case in the change I suggested.

The implementation wasn't complex - the repeat() function just returned a shell object that chomped up the following commands into a buffer which would be executed when start() was called. Same thing with wait() - it would eat up the following commands so that a setTimeout() could be called and execution could continue when the pause was done. The end result was some kind of slick-looking code in some places. But more of a mental exercise than anything extremely practical ;) Matt Kruse
