[jQuery] Re: DateJS: Robust Date manipulation library
This came through my feed reader this morning, and I thought it looked
like the kind of thing jQuerians might enjoy:
http://www.datejs.com/
I really don't like the weird syntax they use.
This Date.today().next().thursday(); is not real chaining IMHO. Even
more (3).days().ago();
Chaining suppose you can remove last call and still get something.
What would (3).days(); mean?
jQuery like syntax would probably be more Date.today().next('thursday');

[jQuery] Re: end(), this bug unknown
In the slide number 50 there is a little example code: $(div.section) .find(dt) .addClass(section) .onclick() .next().toogle().end() .end() .end() .find(dd) .hide() .filter(:first) .show() .end() .end(); In a first moment, I thought: ok, wait a moment, I need read this more slow. And later, I opened my mouth, and said wooowww!!!, Can I do that with jQuery?? This is exactly the same reaction I had! This is the first example of end() method that I can see and, now, I see the power of the end() method. I still don't fully understand how to use it through, maybe a nice tutorial should be written... -Nicolas -- Nicolas Brush HOIZEY Clever Age : http://www.clever-age.com/ Gastero Prod : http://www.gasteroprod.com/ Photos : http://www.flickr.com/gp/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/M1c002

I haven't tried to duplicate the KenBurnsEffect, but you can set up your own custom transitions. What exactly do you mean by dynamic?

[jQuery] Re: Slightly OT: overview of HTML5 elements
A lot of these are probably more for the benefit of the search engines and for SEO purposes. Tags like section / and article / gives search engines a little more information about what they're parsing (the same with the header /, footer / and nav / tags.) It will be great for accessibility too, with vocal synthesis or braille terminal focusing easily on content and structure. -Nicolas -- Nicolas Brush HOIZEY Clever Age : http://www.clever-age.com/ Gastero Prod : http://www.gasteroprod.com/ Photos : http://www.flickr.com/gp/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/M1c002
[jQuery] Re: [Slight OT] Quick straw pole about maps
Hi Tane, So a quick question is, especially to anyone using it is: What mapping service do you prefer? Google? or Yahoo? I really prefer Google. I even use Google Earth + Trippermap to geotag my Flickr pictures! Yahoo Maps are still very bad on european countries. The reason I ask, is I can either keep the plugin on its current course of supporting both map services as equally as possible, or I can scale down or abandon the Yahoo support in going down the route of much more customisation for Google maps. I would go the second way. Someone can then work on a Yahoo version later... -Nicolas -- Nicolas Brush HOIZEY Clever Age : http://www.clever-age.com/ Gastero Prod : http://www.gasteroprod.com/ Photos : http://www.flickr.com/gp/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/M1c002
[jQuery] Re: [NEWS] jQuery in 15 Minutes Slideshow on Ajaxian
Ajaxian has a post describing Simon Willison's slideshare presentation jQuery in 15 minutes. The preso gives a nice view of some of jQuery's features and is a good intro for anyone wanting to know more about jQuery. http://ajaxian.com/archives/jquery-in-15-minutes I’ve learned from slide 11 the really not obvious meaning of the end () method. I thought it was intended to move to the end of a selection, without having any idea what use I could have for it... ;-) I didn't find any reason for this name in the list archive. What about revert() or something else more obvious? I know it's late to change this, even more with it being used in tutorials, but maybe a better name could be given to an alias... -Nicolas -- Nicolas Brush HOIZEY Clever Age : http://www.clever-age.com/ Gastero Prod : http://www.gasteroprod.com/ Photos : http://www.flickr.com/gp/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/M1c002

[jQuery] Re: Ken Burns effects using jQuery?
Very nice in FF but no go in IE7. Just tried with FF for a start. Too fast - slow down the effects speed so we can really see them. The default duration for each photo is 6 seconds and a half, do you really think it's too fast??? Is this plug in ready for prime time? Not at all, it's just a quick proof of concept. As you mentioned, it needs something more to work on other browsers than just FF. -Nicolas -- Nicolas Brush HOIZEY Clever Age : http://www.clever-age.com/ Gastero Prod : http://www.gasteroprod.com/ Photos : http://www.flickr.com/gp/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/M1c002
[jQuery] Re: [ANNOUNCE] jCarouselLite version 0.4.0
Think both Nicolas and Mike are looking for the same feature... I will see if that can be implemented without affecting the size of the plugin too much. You know, coz it is named Lite and all... I'm not sure it would be big. You just need to clone the first and put it in the end, and just after the slide effect to this last one, just return to 0. If successful, i will host another revision ( 0.5.0 maybe) for feedback before i upgrade the project to 1.0 status. Great! -Nicolas -- Nicolas Brush HOIZEY Clever Age : http://www.clever-age.com/ Gastero Prod : http://www.gasteroprod.com/ Photos : http://www.flickr.com/gp/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/M1c002

[jQuery] Re: Syntactic sugar for checking whether an element exists
Anyway I can see your argument about how an exists() function would
be redundant. jQuery has a lot of convenience wrappers for things,
but $.fn.exists = function(){return !!this.length}; would be the
smallest and least functional one. Same is almost true for hasClass
(return this.is('.'+class));. This is where you can convince me
with a rational/scientific argument that those functions aren't
needed. However, as you said this library is more then just code,
it's art. And this is why I'm emphasizing those new functions: They
empower the artist (who does not read the complete docs before
getting started) and don't hurt the scientists
There could be a jConvenient plugin then that would add convenient
wrapper such as exists or hasClass.
I'm not sure it should contain makeCoffee through... ;-)

[jQuery] Any official documentation for selectors extension?
Hello, Following yesterday's discussion about my :containsExactly() filter, I would like to know if there is any official documentation about selectors extension. I found this e-mail in the archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg15863.html This is the interesting extract: You can use the variables 'a' for the element being considered, 'm [3]' for whatever was in parentheses in the selector (as in the '2' in 'nth(2)' ), 'i' for the index of the element being considered, and 'r' for the whole array of elements. The strange variable names and lack of official documentation make me fear potential future changes in this feature. Any hint? -Nicolas -- Nicolas Brush HOIZEY Clever Age : http://www.clever-age.com/ Gastero Prod : http://www.gasteroprod.com/ Photos : http://www.flickr.com/gp/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/M1c002

[jQuery] Re: How to find elements with an exact text content?
Hello Renato,
I also saw your answer on the french list... ;-)
I'm currently using :contains() to find elements that contain
some string:
http://docs.jquery.com/DOM/Traversing#contains.28_str_.29
I would like now to find only elements that have a text content
exactly equal to the string I chose.
I didn't find any simple solution in the list archives or in any
documentation.
you can create a new selector to match text content with regular
expressions:
jQuery.expr[:].containsRegEx =
(a.textContent||a.innerText||'').match(eval('/'+m[3]+'/'))!=null;
and
$('a:containsRegEx(^my text$)')
I did something similar but dedicated to my issue:
jQuery.extend(jQuery.expr[':'], {
containsExactly: $(a).text() == m[3]
});
And then: $('someElement:containsExactly(someText)')
Works really well, thanks!
By the way, I found examples of such selectors extensions, but no
documentation at all... :-(

[jQuery] Re: How to find elements with an exact text content?
You can try the powerful .filter() method with an anonymous
function as its argument:
$('someElement').filter(function() {
return $(this).text() == 'Some text';
});
It works well, but wouldn't it be very useful (and very write less,
do more) to have such a feature:
$('someElement:contains(^Some text$)')
Notice the '^' and '$' delimiters.

It works well!
Do you think it is usefull, for performance, to first filter
with :contains() before using .filter()?
$('#indirectly ol li a:contains(' + related +
')').filter(function() {
return ($(this)[0].textContent == related);
}).parent().show('slow');
vs
$('#indirectly ol li a').filter(function() {
return ($(this)[0].textContent == related);
}).parent().show('slow');
(related comes from previous code)
I tried to profile both with Firebug, with not much difference, but I
don't have a lot of data to parse yet.

As far as I know, .textContent only works in Firefox. The IE equivalent is .innerText. jQuery normalizes this with its .text() method.
