Billy-Corgan.com was the first public web site I ever created and ran. I first started playing with it (and web techs) in 1998/99. In 2000, I moved it from GeoCities to its own domain name. The site had it’s golden age in 2003/2004, with up to 4 million page views / month. I believe that [...]

Readable Code: In the Eye of the Beholder?
In his most recent blog posting – In the Eye of the Beholder (ah, reminds me of EoB II), JavaScripter James Padolsey (if you do some JavaScripting / jQuery, follow his blog) argues that the readability of anything is entirely dependent on who’s doing the reading. He also states that readability depends on how proficient [...]

Event Delegation with YUI 3.0
Personally I’ve never used the YUI library (yet), but the new event delegation functionality of YUI 3.0 has a very nice look to it: // Defining simple listeners on each element: Y.on(“click”, handleClick, “#container ul li a.profile”); // Defining listener on a container using the delegate() method: Y.delegate(‘click’, handleClick, ‘#container’, ‘ul li a.profile’); [...] Event [...]

Replacing the Built-In DatePicker in Sun IdM 8.0
If you read my other post on creating custom view handlers in Sun IdM, you might have noticed my mixed feelings towards the system’s built-in interface. I know its main task is not to look good, and that it is best at what it is supposed to be good at, but there really is no [...]

Easy JavaScripting with jQuery (jQuery Basics)
