and a big thank you guys.. well done :)

I wonder, IF there would be a syntax checker, how advanced should it be? I'm asking since this: testme =function(){ alert('test') }(); is a perfectly valid JavaScript syntax though I have had several people pointing similair constructs out to me as being in error (HAR!!).. And, I have to admit, in ...

Interesting post by ringoffire. But IMO you're comparing two different kinds of applications. Office applications are inherently simple in their interface. Why? They aren't really dedicated tools, more like all-purpouse tools. They should be accessable to the lowest common denominator (being your ...

I agree with most of what fuzzylogic there said. Specifically the bit about real-world-enterprise-scale application. I have yet to see one done with Ruby or RoR and considering what I've seen from Ruby I'm pretty sure I can counter each example with a more stable and blindingly fast (in comparison ...

You're absolutely right, point taken...

since you got a little sassy

haha, I've been known to do that at times yes.. call it a characterflaw..

agreed that the firebug and webdeveloper toolbar provide us with a lot of VERY usefull stuff. anyone arguing against that is an idot. BUT, following this line of reasoning, why should the wb team bother with a lot of stuff in the fiirst place? since there's enough out there that allready covers what ...

I can imagine the "%" in the username giving problems. If you can you could try to set up an anonymous ftp accoun t on the server, this most often allows for an email as user name and no password. If you're then able to get in as anonymous then we know the ftp-username transfer of Webuilder is ...

just some personal notes on using frameworks/libraries (like jQuery, mootools, dojo, jsExt, YUI etc) weight vs speed Keep in mind that some of the frameworks are quite large in (file)size. It might not allways be in your best inrterest to use a framework if all that it does is collect some elements ...

the problem, methinks, with supporting (a) framework is that, as a tools developer, you shouldn't/can't be biased towards just one framework. Supporting jQuery only wouldn't be fair towards developers that use Mootools, Dojo, Prototype or any of the other frameworks. And it's really hard, if not ...

And the application I mentioned? here it is Aaaah... now THIS is interesting indeed. Thanks for the linkage. What I get from it is that it doesn't so much translates your java-application to a javascript equivalent (which is inherently impossible for the bulk of java applications out there) but ...

hmm... a lot of confusion around here it seems... 1. php doesn't let you do the things you can do with javascript and the other way round: php runs solely on the server whereas JS runs inside the client. So, in short, there's NO way whatsoever you can compare the two. 2. Google has made an ...

[another troll here, igniting a forumwide flamewar on how exciting JavaScript is]

try editing the syntax coloring script/scheme Karlis, I just had a look at one of those scripts (saved from original) but can't make heads nor tails from it.. Is there a manual somewhere? Doesn't have to be an exhaustive document, just something to explain the basic concepts: I don't shun trial and ...
