I was subtly suggesting that while it may be accidental that Google is saving itself some revenue, it may also be intentional. It'll be interesting to see if Google ever offers Chrome-only features or services, which would entice users to switch to Chrome. Google have confirmed that they will be working with Mozilla until at least 2011 - can't remember where I read it but it was announced recently. From google's perspective, any modern browser will serve their needs IMHO - however, MSIE (including the now not standard mode by default on intranets any more version 8 *sigh*) MUST die. With M$ playing around with unwanted features like web slices, rather than making a browser that actually works, Google have a strong incentive to kill off MSIE from the corporate networks (and remainder of MSIE on home computers) in any way they can. As an industry, we just can't move forward (properly) until MSIE is destroyed. Guy

Because if you don't annoy them, they keep using IE6, and we have to keep putting up with the pain of supporting it. Many web developers still have the crazy notion that we should support IE6. However, doing so only causes us more pain because people using IE6 mistakenly believe that they have a good browser and therefore never get rid of it so the pain continues. The only feasible way to kill off IE6 is to simply stop supporting it. When the customer or end-user complains, explain that their browser is broken and that they should upgrade to a free, modern browser like Firefox, Opera or Safari/Webkit. Think about it, if your car was broken would you expect all the roads in the country to be modified to counter the broken car? No, it would be ludicrous. The broken car would be fixed or destroyed for the good of humanity. Yet, it seems, in the web world we continue this crazy self-destructive act of supporting the most widespread and heavily broken browser the entire planet has ever encountered. It has to stop. There's nothing stopping large organisations from installing a modern browser alongside IE6 - IE6 can then still be used for their broken intranet, the modern browser can be used for everything else.

[jQuery] Event namespacing - how to see the full event name?
Hi, I've been triggering several events as follows: $('.foo').trigger('bar.update'); $('.foo').trigger('bar.show'); etc... If I listen to the bar event on foo: $('.foo').bind('bar', function(e) { // e.type = 'bar' }); The event type property is always bar - how do I work out if bar.update vs. bar.show was triggered? I might be misunderstanding the event system (or more accurately it's namespacing) but I imagined that I could listen to a specific bar event: $('.foo').bind('bar.update', handler); Or all bar events (bar.update, bar.show, etc): $('.foo').bind('bar', handler); When listening to all of them with a single handler, it would be useful for the handler to see the full event name (bar.update instead of just bar) so I could switch on event type inside the handler. I guess I could achieve the required effect using event data, but it seems such a waste not to have the full event name in the event type (or possibly a .name property could contain it?) Any ideas? Guy
[jQuery] Re: Event namespacing - how to see the full event name?
Yeah, I thought I'd have to use the data feature, it just seems a shame not to have a property on event that provides that info. I did some digging in the jQuery source and found that i's trivial to expose the namespaced event type by inserting the following in to the handle() method before line 2059 in the current public release of 1.2.3: event.namespaced = event.type; With that added, all events then have a .namespaced property on the event parameter allowing you to see exactly which event was called and switch on it :) I've submitted a feature request, including an example scenario and code: http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/2585 Guy Andy Matthews wrote: You're allowed to pass in an array object along with each trigger method call.

By placing them in the head all javascript files must be downloaded before the rest of the page can render.

Other than perhaps organizational issues, are there any good reasons why having the script tags at the bottom of the page is a bad idea? According to YSlow docs, putting JS as far down the page as possible is beneficial.

I ran the tests on that site and noticed that they show jQuery as the slowest performer out of the 3 frameworks (Mootools, Prototype and jQuery). Does anybody have comments on this ? jQuery isn't the fastest library (although it's getting faster all the time). The things to bear in mind: 1. It's the smallest library = pages download faster so even if the JS is a fraction of a second slower, you won't notice the difference 2. Code that uses jQuery is generally very concise = smaller pages = faster downloads 3. In real-world use the effects of most normal JS is negligible compared to the time it takes to download images, etc.

Yeah - it would be nice if it the message log was turned in to a separate plugin as there are loads of places where I would want to use that on it's own. In fact, not just a message log but slide-out panels fixed to an edge of the screen. 2) It is much too eager to dismiss the message on mouse movement. Don't you naturally move the mouse around on a page as you look at it? I do. At least I use a TrackPoint, so it's easy to avoid inadvertent mouse movement. If you use a conventional mouse, it can be difficult to avoid any mouse movement after a click. Yeah, I have to agree with this. There should ideally be some delay after a mouse move before dismissing the message. Also, it would be nice if the message location could be easily customised - eg. to show the message next to a button or something. Guy

[jQuery] Re: Plug-in Developers...
One thing I learnt recently is that just because you can use jQuery doesn't mean the innards of your plugin should be one big chain of jQuery methods. For example, see Scott's Overlabel blog page... Scott's original version used plain JS to do things, however it was a bit difficult to read: http://scott.sauyet.com/thoughts/archives/2007/03/31/overlabel-with-jquery/ Then Dave came along with a jQuery version of the same code which was more compact and easier to read: http://scott.sauyet.com/thoughts/archives/2007/03/31/overlabel-with-jquery/#comment-24144 Finally, Aristotle came along with a super-clean bit of JS that only used jQuery where it was absolutely necessary - this was far easier to read and as far as I can tell uses less method/function calls resulting in it also being a bit faster. http://scott.sauyet.com/thoughts/archives/2007/03/31/overlabel-with-jquery/#comment-24205 While I resisted at first, Aristotle proved to me that clean JS should be used wherever possible to aid readability of the code. He helped me kick my method chaining addiction within plugin code :) Note: Chaining is still very useful for general jQuery use, but should only be used sparingly within the plugin itself if possible. Aristotle also noted that it /might/ be better to use jQuery.fn.extend() to define functions: http://scott.sauyet.com/thoughts/archives/2007/03/31/overlabel-with-jquery/#comment-24211 The comments system on the blog allowed other people to chip in with their own ideas, eg. support for JSF forms, support for existing forms where the HTML markup could not easily be changed, etc. The discussion enabled the plugin to be quickly polished to perfection (still some final tweaks to be made, eg. returning jQuery object to allow the method to be part of a chain).
