[jQuery] Re: get email and send email?
just to make things terribly confusing ;)
javascript is actually ecmascript, which can be used anywhere an
implementation of the scripting engine is available. On the server you can
use spidermonkey (a c++ implementation from mozilla), rhino(a java
implementation also from mozilla), etc. On the client, all browsers support
javascript, but the client-side javascript is 'enhanced' with additional
apis to manipulate the DOM, use AJAX, etc.
also all browsers (IE6/7 *cough*) make it extra difficult by deviating from
the w3c standard for the enhanced client-side api. libraries like jquery
hide these differences as well as provide elegant patterns that reduce your
general effort to write useful code.
im only saying this because if you are new to web development you may decide
to lower your barrier of entry by learning a single language, javascript,
and using it on both the client and the server.
sorry for the fog, hope the muddy water settles for you soon

[jQuery] Re: jQuery's code first lin e (function(){・・・・・
Its called an anonymous closure and prevents jquery from leaking variables
into the global scope. The anonymous closure is a function that is defined
without a name.
//named functions a very common
//they are just functions assigned to a variable
var myfunction = function(){};
//the anonymous function is not assigned to a variable
//it's legal and the following lines show several legal but
//relatively useless lines of script that execute just fine but
//have no effect, they are all anonymous statements
(function(){ var foo; });
(6+1);
('hello '+'world');
//The anonymous function is a little special because
//it can be executed immediately by adding ();
//with firebug enabled the following line would print\
//'hello world' to the console
(function(){ var foo; console.log('hello world'); })();
So why go through all that trouble? The answer is to keep the global scope
clean and uncluttered. variable defined in the anonymous closure are
available inside that scope but not outside it, so variable
collision/confusion between libraries and your code can be avoided and
memory leaks more easily avoided as well.
//global or outer scope
(function(){
//anonymous or inner scope.
var foo = 'hello world';
})();
//true
if(foo === undefined){
console.log('now I understand anonymous closures!');
}
Hope that helps!

[jQuery] jQuery powering the new Library of Congress Metasearch App
Hey jQuery Community, I wanted to announce another feather in jQuery's hat. The new Library of Congress Metasearch application was quietly released today and the interface is entirely driven with jquery and jquery-claypool. It's a single url app that is all ajax after that so make sure you turn off firebug unless you want a big performance hit. cheers to the jQ Links: http://www.loc.gov/ This is the general Library of Congress site. To access the app, just use the search box in the upper left. http://www.loc.gov/fedsearch/metasearch/ This is the application itself. http://www.loc.gov/fedsearch/metasearch/?cclquery=resig -- Christopher Thatcher

[jQuery] Re: XSLT problem in JQuery
i have an active jquery-xslt project that is used in production settings.
its setup to have the xslt precompiled once for heavy reuse, and created a
jquery-plugin as the result. i use it to transform xml to json.
it also provides a callback for post transform, and does not autmatically
append the result to the document.
http://github.com/thatcher/jquery-xslt/tree/master
it has an example, let me know if you need more help.

the chances are they will point to a thread that exists already and/or they
will question the concept by usually
1) pointing to an existing solution
2) providing context for why the question is still open
3) ask you to create a ticket to fix it
4) tell you it's a perfect use of the plug-in architecture an point you to a
great reernce for how to publish it correctly

i am not a jquery core or ui developer so this response must be taken with a
grain of salt.
it is appropriate for the static jQuery namespace when the function is
either 'generally useful' or 'highly reusable in instance context where the
context is a dom node'
for the latter case ('highly reusable in instance context where the context
is a dom node') i am way over-specific; however, the jquery core has
basically cornered this market. the core dev team is highly aware of basic
issues and most everything you could think of is already there.
'polluting' the core namespace is the responsiblity of plugins. the term
'pollution' is used to mean only that every name you put on the namespace
has the probability of conflicting in the future if it doesn't already
exist.
if you make sure a name doesn't already exist on the jquery namespace, and
if you think the new property (which may be a function, object, array,
simple type, or a hetergeneous object/array/function jquery-like collection)
is useful enough to be in the core library, please feel free to ask the

[jQuery] Re: Parsing XML and appending to an array?
i think what you want is $('image', responsexml).each()
otherwise you are asking for each response element of which there is only
one.

[jQuery] Re: The jQuery Object, Namespaces, and Program Modules -- Connecting the Dots Between jQuery and Javascript
i would recommend studying jquery.collections by ariel flesler.
http://flesler.blogspot.com/2008/01/jquerycollection.html
i recommend this for several reasons:
1) it's a plugin - understanding plugins is part of the core architectural
pattern.
2) it mimicks jquery's core architecture - a collection is a jquery-ish
object. so you will understand why the jquery object is both a static object
with it's own methods, and how those are reused on the jquery instance,
which an array-like object with its own scope of
functions like the jquery
3) it may teach you how to use namespace (or named closure)
jquery uses this anonymous function pattern heavily. so do good plugins.
jQuery.noConflict();
//anonymous function executed at load time
(function($){
//$ is jQuery
})(jQuery);//semi colon should be included
//$ is not jQuery
you can create the same pattern with a plugin that uses an additional
namesapce to prevent pollution on the jquery namespace:
jQuery.noConflict();
//anonymous function executed at load time
(function($, _){
//$ is jQuery
//_ is MyNamespace
})(jQuery, MyNamespace);//semi colon should be included
//$ is not jQuery

[jQuery] jquery-claypool
Announcing jQuery-Claypool (http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Claypool) jquery-claypool is a small, concise, fast, railable javascript application framework, built as a jquery-plugin that provides all the usual important patterns for large, long-lived client-side apps, server-side apps, or something strangely, beautifully in the middle. like django, rails, and spring but built for jquery. jquery-claypool provides a powerful routing framework, simple scanners for nearly-zero configuration, highly optimized category logging, aspect oriented filters, automagically managed inversion of control, single point of entry, swappable environments and minimal requirement mvc. and if all of those big words don't scare you away, jquery-claypool will make your life simpler, cheaper, and most importantly lazier. cheers to lazy. jquery-claypool is both a client (browser) and server-side framework that fits in a compressed, gzipped file that is smaller than jquery itself. we can achieve this by simply allowing you to use whatever model and view plugins you love the most, while simultaneously letting you write controllers the same way you would write event handler without jquery-claypool. i.e. there is no notion of framework required extension patterns. you decide how you like to write and we just wire it up cleanly and most importantly, transparently. dependencies * works with jquery 1.2.6 and 1.3.2(client) * requires livequery (soon we will add live()) Download / fork / watch jquery-claypool at github http://github.com/thatcher/jquery-claypool/tree/master Join the discussion group / mailing list at Google Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-claypool Report any bugs you find on the bug tracker http://claypooljs.lighthouseapp.com/ Documentation is being constructed at jquery plugins http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Claypool * Small, 14K gzipped. * MIT/GPL Style License. * Scales memory effeciency. * Powered by jQuery. jquery-claypool comes with template projects to get you rolling in minutes.

[jQuery] plugin mentors
I was wondering if there was any interest I could stir up in the experienced plugin developer community to participate in volunteering to act as mentors for less experienced plugin developers get projects ready for release by providing constructive criticism and feedback about what work a plugin needs before it's release. I'd personally be very grateful for some mentoring so I can get my project out to the community without making common mistakes. -- Christopher Thatcher
[jQuery] Re: [jquery-dev] Re: XPath for objects
I posted a very bare bones project on github, jquery.jsonpath uses jquery.collection(Ariel Flesler flesler.blogspot.com), json2.js (JSON.org), and Stefan Goessner (goessner.net) jsonpath to provide a simple jquery-like selector engine for large javascript objects. I'd like it to become a useful foundation for plugins that are 'template-centric', eg i18n, capitalize, title, lorem ipsum, etc. Seems useful to me and very jquery-like thanks to jquery.collections.

[jQuery] Re: $.each help for radio button validation
It would help to see a specific example, or link to an example. My
immediate response would be to make sure you can select each group
individually, by wrapping it with a div or something and selecting the div,
not all the radio buttons at once. that way you can handle each group one
at a time and append the message one at a time as well.
eg
..etc
..etc
//select all the 'groups'
$('div.myRadioGroups').each(fucntion(){
//make sure at least one is selected
if( ! $('input:radio:selected', this).length > 0){
//write a message
$('p.message', this).text("Please select at least one!");
}
});

[jQuery] Re: dot separated id
I agree that a spec is a spec. The problem is rigidly adhering to it will
break to rest of the specs that work along side the html specs to produce
the intended result in the presentation layer. I too had to change the way
I assigned id's to accommodate css and js that used css selectors. If
anyone wants to use periods, they should feel free, but I doubt the css and
javascript communities will feel obligated to accommodate them. No offense
meant whatsoever, I had the same issue.

[jQuery] Re: JS Question: How does this jQuery idiom work?
It's very important becuase the symbol $ is used by other javascript
libraries and it can cause a conflict if you use it outside of the anonymous
function.
For example another sloppy library might have a global definition
var $ = function(){
alert('Not Cool Man!');
};
then if you tried to use jQuery
$("#mycoolapp").coolPlugin().beCool();
and yould get the alert, 'Not Cool Man!'
But jQuery doesnt stand for such sloppy nonsense so we do:
jQuery.noConflict();
and write our plugin still using $ like so:
(function($){
$.fn.coolPlugin = function(){
//do cool stuff and feel free to use $ and know
// it means jQuery and not the lame alert function
//declared globally by sloppy library X
}
})(jQuery);

Im not sure about the specific answer to your question but I can recommend
an alternative solution.
I use Richard D. Worths oh so excellent $.ui.dialog plugin to achieve a very
simple version of the litebox effect. its from the jquery ui team.
it goes alittle something like this:
$("#window").dialog($.extend(this.dialogOptions||{}, {
modal: true,
resizable:false,
height: $(document).height(),
width: $(document).width(),
overlay: {
opacity: 0.2,
background: "black"
}
}));
//initialize jcarousel here
//simple animation to present overlay
$("#window").show("clip", {
direction: "horizontal"
}, 1000);
where your html is something like:

[jQuery] Re: Processing.js Google Group Now Formed!
Processing.js ( http://github.com/jeresig/processing-js/ ) is written by John Resig and is a port of the Processing language ( http://processing.org) developed at MIT that uses the Html Canvas ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canvas_(HTML_element) ) It is a very sexy 2D drawing API that allows developers to create rich visualizations, and via excanvas.js, is supported by all browsers (needs some work based on my experience). I spent a few hours on the train and wrote a 75 line routine to produce Heat Maps on top of Google Maps, it can be used to render beautiful charts, manipulate images, etc, etc. It's a big win for the javascript community and John's skills show clearly in it's simplicity and it's completeness.

Ed Summers... I know him! In fact I like him too! I worked with Ed and the OSI team to create the World Digital Library Prototype (and used jQuery in fact). I have to be in New York for that date but please give OSI my kindest regards and let them know I wish I could join you all. PS I also used jQuery with another project at LOC which is in UX testing now and have recently been contracted for a third. Wish I could take all the credit but jQuery really was the key.

[jQuery] getScript + google-maps = page locks up ?
Well I lied a little but it's $.ajax ith the datatype set to script:
var _this = this;
var url = "http://maps.google.com/maps";;
var data = {
file:"api",
v:2,
key:"ABQIjpkAC9ePGem0lIq5XcMiuhR_wWLPFku8Ix9i2SXYRVK3e45q1BQUd_beF8dtzKET_EteAjPdGDwqpQ"
};
$.ajax({
type: "get",
dataType: "script",
url: url,
data: data,
success: function(){
_this.debug("Loaded provider script %s.", url);
//Do stuff
},
error: function(xhr, status, e){
_this.warn("Failed to load base layer required
scripts.");
}
});
So everthing is fine and the script loads and I get to the successfull
callback in firebug. However, the first line fails because an error is
thown and indeed if I put 'watch' _this in the firebug watch panel, I see
this message:
ReferenceError: __scope__ is not defined
The page keeps spinning saying it loading maps.google.com but I can see the
scripts are loaded in firebug. One other interesting wierdness is that the
dom disappears, meaning the screen goes blank white and I can't see any info
in the firebug html window.
Any thoughts?! I lost all day to this one...
Thanks

[jQuery] Re: Feedback for new plugin idea: ui.querybuilder
Are you familiar with OpenSearch? I bring it up because the OpenSearch has already provided some of the semantics to help generalize the search issue. At some point I had built a client with jquery for opensearch + atom and opensearch-suggest + json, but can't share it because it was part of some work I did for the Library of Congress. If you really want to make a generally useful plugin to address search/query etc, I'd really recommend you look at the opensearch protocol to at least understand what generalizations they've already made. I'd be happy to provide a sounding board and help 're'-create a jquery opensearch plugin if that's the direction you decide to go in.

[jQuery] Re: Submitting entire webpage for server-side XSLT parsing
Still an interesting question, sorry I didn't reply. Its obviously easy to
hold a dom on the server and serialize it all to the client as a
continuation of state. It's not so easy on the client as some things may
hidden from you by the browsers internal state implement since it's not
transparent.
So what your saying is that you where able to serialize the entire document
after modification locally? What method(s) did you use to provide the
entire dom serialization ? What do you mean you convert the input elements
to text?
Just curious, and related to some other stuff I'm working on. I hadn't
gotten to client-side dom serialization so I'm very curious.
Thanks,

[jQuery] Re: NEW: XML to JSON Plugin
FORMAT:
Yeah I agree the {}/[] issue complex and after going another round with
xotree I have to say I really like the 'force_array' map it optionally
allows. That said the asArray() solution works and I might like it even
better once I'm using it becuase I'm totlly Lazy ;)
ATTRIBUTES:
if you want to encourage dot notation for attributes, the best thing to do
is look at what is legal for js names but not for xml names and basically
your left with '$'. The bigger issue occurs with the use of ':' in xml
names is legal but obviously not for js and in fact an xml name can even
start with ':' or '_' as well. The underscore isn't an issue but if you
want a quick replace method to go from attribute xml to js name and back the
easiest way may be
xml attribute name to js name
1 prefix by '$' to denote an attribute
2 replace all ':' with '$'
js name to xml attribute name
1 remove prefix '$'.
2 replace all '$' with ':'
This keeps it clean for the simple no-namespaced xml, but still lets us
namespace dorks keep using namespaces and still access our attributes.
eg no namespace
foo.bar.$goop
eg namespaced
foo.bar.$svg$goop
What do you think?
OVERALL:
I agree with your approach and coming from a heavy xml background and still
using stuff like this for wierd/ugly/legacy xml means I need to not loose
info. I say make the simplest cases very elegant like you've already
described and I'll help make sure that the critical xml info is still
identifiable so we can round-trip non-lossy.
MIXED CONTENT
I generally don't think tools like this are very useful for mixed content
like bar pooh but I was curious if you
wanted to try to address this or just note it as unsupported.

[jQuery] Re: NEW: XML to JSON Plugin
Oh and now that I'm reading my response I forgot to mention these characters
in xml names, '-' (minus) and '.' (dot). Obviously not legal tender in the
js arena. The only thing I can think of here is to not map to a legal js
name and force the associative array usage, eg via foo['bar-goop']
Ugh

I didnt realize there was that option. it is sufficient though I'd argue
from the perspective of the user the latter is simple and the former not so
much.. looking forward to you later comments I'm wondering if it wouldnt
be a big win to make it all array all the time. it would definitely fit
better in terms of making it jive with a jquery feel.

This is pretty much what I'm thinking but I want to point out none of your
examples use attributes and as a long time xml advocate if I wrote a similar
example it would look like:
We can't advocate sensible xml but can you see how this saves big bandwidth
and maps more cleanly to json? Again not really an implementation issue but
might as make sure we know how to represent attribute. Though I'm also a
big user of namespaces I'd say treat them like common attributes an let the
developer cope with meaning.
I think we could really get some high performance by building the Map you
talk about and implement find as a pure RegExp. I like the way you are
keeping it simple an jquery ish.

Yeah actually I think it's normally sufficient to let the user use jquery
ajax as usual but just provide easy functions to unmarshal/marshal into the
format they need where ever they need it. It reduces the size of the plugin
and I've sort of found most ajax-convenience functions in plugins aren't
exactly what I need so I end up not using them anyway. Not always true
though and if you think there some benefit I really don't feel very strongly
either way (just playing devils advocate.)

Where it really became an issue in a production environment was that I
always had to test every 'element' to see if i needed to treat it as an
array or object. And every time I started to rely on it being an {} or [],
there was some corner case that came up gave me the other and the code
broke. This is especially true in templates.

They are actually different objects so you'ld have myJsonObject.a.b.c and
myRejosnObject['a.b.c']. Normally how I use it is I only use json form in
code, but marshal to/from the rejson when serializing to/from sqlite, and
marshal to/from the xml form when serializing to/from the server. But this
was just my use case. In general the idea is that only one form is present
in memory at a time, but it's easy to move between them when I need to. So
if I wanted to provide a nice table to edit an object, I could retreive that
object as rejson from the db and I'd just leave it in the same form or if it
came as xml from the server I'd marshal directly to rejson, skip json, and
delete the xml footprint. In the end I think the marshalling performance is
what we focus on and let the user decide when they need delete objects.
Just some thoughts. I'll try to clean up some older example code. I also
think it might be worth thinking about how Ariels jquery.collections and
something like jspath could be used to provide some more jquery-like,
e4x-ish approach so we could have
var data = jqE4X(xml);//basically marshals to json
jqE4X('a..c', data).each(function(){
//etc gives us an array of all decendants 'c' of data.a
});
Or is this not at all what you have in mind?

[jQuery] Re: NEW: XML to JSON Plugin
yeah it would be great to see it ported to a jQuery plugin in combination
with your work and then you could actually use jQuery ajax and it would be
cleaner. I've used it a lot and for me the big thing is the ability to easy
set what elements are treated as array's even if only one is present
(because it keeps the code using it simpler, less cases), and specifying the
attribute prefix (I use '@') because I can basically use e4x like syntax.
I also made a modification to xotree locally to allow a flat
serialization/deserialization so that the item becomes a list of name/value
objects, the name being the 'javascript path' eg '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and the
value is the simple value. This was extremely useful for fast development
with GoogleGears because I could have a generic table for all objects and
use the powerful 'name LIKE' queries to find objects stored in the db.
I'd love to help you develop this or give feedback because it would also
help promote some mvc stuff I'm build for the jQ community.

[jQuery] Re: expr in $("", expr) not as expected
Hi Rob, It's an easy issue to confuse at first so don't worry. the expr
parameter is treated as a top level context and the query you're using,
'div', is actually saying 'find any descendant divs UNDER the top level
context'. Now to help you figure out what query might possible to discern
one of the divs we could probably use a filter or something but I'd have to
know what you're criteria are. Hope this gets you started.

[jQuery] Re: Jquery and using regex in selectors
Actually jQuery supports a subset of of regular expression-like filters.
Check out:
http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors
and look at the 'Attribute Filters'
This would achieve the case you need with
jQuery("input[name*='name']")

[jQuery] Re: Don't redirect on form submit
Hi Sid,
The really important thing is that you'll need to 'hijax' the form and make
sure you provent the default behavior of the browser. jQuery makes this
terribly easy.
jQuery("#myform").bind('submit', function(event){
//stops browser from submitting the form
//and redirecting.
event.preventDefault();
//use jquery form plugin to submit via ajax here or do it by hand
});

[jQuery] Re: jtemplates performance
Hi Andiih, I had one more thought. I don't usually setTemplateURL abd
ibstead use setTemplateElement and have the template locally in a hidden
text area. I was wondering if it might be the difference because of the
network communication that occurs in your case. Might be worth a try to see
if thats the extra time drain.
Also JavaScriptTemplates from trimpath is a really great template engine as
well and really not too different syntatically than jTemplate so you should
be able to modify your templates relatively easily to use them if that what
you decide to do.

I think you are measuring the combined time. Try this:
var xmltojson_start = new Date().getTime();
ret = $.xmlToJSON(responseXML);
var xmltojson_stop = new Date().getTime();
var template_start = new Date().getTime();
$('#output2').processTemplate(ret);
var template_stop = new Date().getTime();
alert(""+
"\n\tXml to Json: " + (xmltojson_stop - xmltojson_start) +
"\n\tTemplate Processing: " + (template_stop - template_start) +
"\n");

[jQuery] Re: QUnit, jqUnit, and rhino
Wow this is good news. I've been mucking up env.js for awhile now locally
and was afraid I wouldn't see it go where I hope it will.
John you mentioned the other platforms you want it to be used on and I think
this would be ideal. One thing that is currently preventing that is that
the basic window code, which essentially emulates the browsers behavior and
provides the standard global functions and objects available in browsers, is
mixed with Java specific code. If env.js has these provided by the
container, eg rhino jar + 'implementation of xmlhttprequest jar', then
env.js could stay generic across all the implementations. It's a little
more work but inverts the control so env.js could be used by
javascript/spidermonkey to emulate the browser as well. This doesnt really
help perl/python but might keep the patterns clearer.
So I guess what I'm asking is, for the javascript 'env.js' is it worth it to
abstract so the same script could be used across javascript engines? A
simple way to achieve this is to use 'providers' which are just aliases to
implementations:
- in env.js -
window.XMLHttpRequest = Env.XMLHttpRequest;
- in rhino.env.js -
Rhino = {
XMLHttpRequest = function()...
};
EnvProvider.XMLHttpRequest = RhinoEnv.XMLHttpRequest;
allows you to include a second script, say 'rhino.env.js' , to keep env.js
reusable in spidermonkey?

[jQuery] Re: jtemplates performance
Andiih, just curious becuase I use jtemplates and havent seen that issue, though can you verify that the slow code is not 'xmlToJSON'. I have seen the marshalling process take up a lot of time in IE when the xml is substantial in size .
