Learning OOP In JavaScript
Jan 10, 2007I learn OOP in javascript. and a few articles say that we can create a static prop/meth to an object just like a predefined object. But i think it just a prop/meth assingned to a constructor. Or is there really static meth/pro in javascript?.

Sep 8, 2003how long did it take you to kearn Javascript to the point that you felt comfortable and confident! I am finding that I seem to be having a harder time with it than others! I have been learnig javascript for 4 years now and still find myself having trouble grasping the big picture?
I would think after so long one would know their way around the language what ever it maybe! I guess basically I would like to know if it is normal to be so confused about javascript?
What Is The BEST Javascript Book To Buy?
Feb 22, 2006I was just wondering if anyone knows of a great javascript book to buy. I am looking for something super duper hard core. I would love it to have documentation galore that includes all of the AJAX and DOM and XML. You know... like a javascript BIBLE. Something thick and comforting. Something that makes you feel all warm and toasty inside just knowing that it is there. So if I start running into some problem I can just glance at the book and rest assured that if the problem exculates not to fear. I have .... THE BOOK.

Book Recommendations For New JavaScript Learner?
Jun 12, 2006I have been working with HTML for a few years and am now just getting comfortable with CSS, but I never got into JavaScript.

Dec 13, 2006Anyone trying out the javascript drop down menus from the Sitepoint Javascript Anthology book might have noticed that in IE7 the sub menus are misaligned, they are offset to far to the right.
Has anyone else come across this problem and does anyone know how to fix it? It has unfortunately broken several of my menus, though if you just try the demo menus from the book in IE7 they also suffer the same problem.

Jun 6, 2011I'm in the process of learning JavaScript. I picked up a "JavaScript for dummies" book at the library and it wasn't going too well. It was poorly written and made it difficult to understand things in the later chapter.
What is the best online resource to learning JavaScript? Preferrably one that is good at explaining format ( I often find myself wondering if certain aspects in my script need ()'s or a "=" sign).
For example, HTML has tags and that is what forms the mark up. I know JavaScript has multiple aspects (functions, objects), but I want an online resourcethat properly explains the format of these aspects.

Learning Loops & Want To Produce A Number Sequence
Aug 29, 2009I have no js experience or coding experience of any kind other than the last few hours of reading a book called 'object-oriented javascript', and all was well until loops. firstly, this is how he teaches the while loop...
var i = 0;
while (i <10)
{i++;}
which results in 9 we move on to for loops...
var res ='';
for( var i = 0; i <10; i++)
{res += 'sometext' ;}
which repeats, but I'd like to be able to make that into a sequence of numbers... 123456789.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSee An Editor That Comes Close Toreading A Good Book?
Jul 23, 2005I have still yet to see a JavaScript Editor that comes close toreading a good JS book, learing it and using it with a text editor.
Anyway, here my recipe for build successfull DHTML Applications:
If you want to support only M$ IE stop here and do the following:
1) Install blindfold
2) Repeat the phrase - I love my cage :p
Buy the Book: Buy O'Reilly's JavaScript The Definitive Guide
~ The best damn JS guide & reference period, end of story, finito
Get a good Text Editor with Syntax Highlighting support
~ Real programmers don't use WYSIWYG tools
~ You will never learn with these tools
~ Code is always inefficient
~ Apps to Use:
~ OSX - BBEdit - Powerful but no MDI support :(
~ Win32 - UltraEdit - Low cost, high power, competent
yntax Highlighting
~ ^nix - Kate or KDevelop - Well written but needs KDE (big)
~ Does not work with OSX's X11 Client :[ - ('+' key
doesn't work)
Browser Development Platform
~ Mozilla (1.3+) (FireFox release suggested)
~ Why Moz?
~ Mozilla based development works in:
~ IE 95% of the time
~ Konquorer (KDE/Apple...), Opera 99%+ of the time
~ Why not IE?
~ IE based development works in standards based
browsers only 50% of the time
~ IE black hole methods (non standards based) causes
people to ignore standards based DHTML objects,
properties and methods.
~ Browser Support Baseline
~ IE 5.5sp2+
~ This is the first (reasonably) stable
version of IE for advanced JS coding.
~ When ever I experience weird bugs from users I have them
them upgrade to IE5.5sp2+ and it goes away.
~ Netscape 6.n+
~ Netscape 4.7 should not be supported!
~ Opera ? (I plead ignorance here)
~ Konquorer/Safari ? (I plead ignorance here)
Debugging Methodology:
~ Use JS Console (Moz)
~ Put try/catches at all error prone functions / methods
~ Because of IE's error stupidity, you should get as
close to the source as possible.
~ Read stack property of error in Mozilla to
read stack of error (powerful)
~ Install JavaScript Console Status in Mozilla
~ Use window.onerror handler
~ In IE, read arguments.callee.caller... to read stack
~ Goes only to last error throw point ! not error source
point :[
~ Note: at this time, there is no way to to get to
the Error object in Mozilla from this handler.
Therefore no stack in Moz. Use Try/Catch instead
Add the following code to every page:
_w=window
function getElem(s){return document.getElementById(s)}
function getEvent(e){ return is.ie?_w.event:e }
Event Declaration
~ Avoid using inline javascript declarations (In HTML Tags)
~ Inline declarations is where you call a function or
run code from the html elements definition
(onclick="<RunSomeCode>")
~ This technique will not allow you to access
the event argument in Mozilla...
~ Instead use getElem("<Element ID>").onclick=<function name>
~ Declare handlers like:
function mySlickFunction(e){e=getEvent(e)...
~ This will ensure you always have Event Object
~ If you want to get fancy you could normalize the Event
at getEvent()
~ Method Declaration
~ Declare <obj>.<meth>=function <obj_acro>_<event>(args){
~ Example: myObj.smile=function MO_smile(args){...
~ Why? - When you build you're stack in the debug
you get the method names!
Other Stuff:
~ Use JSON (www.json.org) as much as possible to nest data
structures (for more complex programming).
~ JSON is fast (primitively supported), stable easy to read.
Could anybody else add to this list?
If people are interested, I can make a document and add other stuff
like JS debugging libraries, Consoles and other slick JS Debugging
stuff.
Modal And Link Based On Ninja Book?
Apr 29, 2010I have a login link that is supposed to open a modal and then direct the visitor to a submission form once they are logged in. Here's the link code: <a href="/resources/submit" class="login">Submit New</a> and the jquery based on an example in the ninja book:
Code:
$('a.login').click(function() {
openDialog('#dialog');
});
$('#dialog')
[Code]...
When I put a path name in the href, the modal opens but then quickly closes itself and sends the visitor to the form. If I use href="#" the modal opens and stays open, but when the visitor submits the form they are returned to the page they were on rather than the submission form.
I keep setting this aside and coming back to it, thinking I'll understand what's gone wrong here, but I still don't. I'd like this modal to work for other links with different paths, so I don't want to code the redirect into the js - I want to be able to control it in the link itself.
Jquery :: Book Viewer With Security Features
Sep 7, 2010My client currently has a Flash book reader on his site that provides a UI for reading a book.Each page of the book is a GIF, and there are hundreds of books available.Now, my client would like to change this reader, and I've convinced him to let me rebuild the reader in jQuery.The hiccup is that, for copyright reasons, the images of the pages in the book must not be downloadable or accessible in the source code.(In other words, there shouldn't be a way to steal the book other than taking a screenshot of every page.)I want the reader to be powered by jQuery, it is, by definition, in-browser.
