JSLint is an old tool in the toolbox, created by Douglas Crockford. I am sure you know about it. But, do you know how often it is updated? You may notice the “Edition 2008-08-18″ on the site, which shows that it was updated recently. After being on the jslint group, I see that there are very regular updates such as the last one that I saw: I added a onevar option. It allows only one ...

For those who have not heard, ECMAScript 4 is no more. That also means that JavaScript 2 is currently at best paused. Some will mourn this as a great loss. I am not one of those.JavaScript 2 had some very interesting ideas in it, but I am far from convinced that it was the future. I firmly believe that JavaScript 1.x has a long long way to run yet.It is not often that I will ...

För alla som funderar på att utveckla program till iPhone kommer här ett tips som kan underlätta arbetet med att göra skisser i Photoshop: iPhone GUI PSD. Företaget bakom iPhone GUI PSD arbetade själv med att ta fram skisser på gränssnitt till iPhone när de fann sig själva göra samma saker flera gånger: bryta ut vissa element från iPhones gränssnitt och använda i sina egna skisser. Därför gjorde de en PSD-fil med en massa detaljer ...

Written by Youri Souiah Game websites are a little bit of a mystery. You won’t find them in the popular CSS-showcases since they are seldom fully CSS-based; however, they also rarely show up in sites that collect best Flash sites. The FWA, for example, has added only one game site this year. This is odd, because there are usually roughly hundred quality titles released each month, each with their own website. During the research I’ve ...

Alex Russell has seen the confusion of the many names that were bandied around with the Harmony news last week. There are so many names, that involve specs, projects, and general technical jargon that it can get a little confusing. Alex has made it very clear: ECMAScript 3 Aka: JavaScript, ES3, ECMAScript 262-3, and JScript. The current JavaScript that every browser implements (more or less). This is the current ratified standard and represents the 3rd ...

One by one, the core standards that define the Web are getting a new lease on life. First, the W3C rebooted its development of HTML by abandoning its single-minded focus on XHTML and embracing the work of the WHAT-WG’s HTML 5 draft as a new beginning. Now, at a meeting in Oslo at the end of July, the long-divided standards body responsible for the JavaScript language has managed to find new unity through compromise. The ...

If, like me, you’ve succumbed to the allure of the iPhone, then you’ve no doubt also lost countless hours of sleep since the launch of the iPhone App Store. At the time of writing there are over 2,000 apps available to download, either for free or for purchase. So whether it be to compensate for functionality that should already be present in the device, to take your productivity to the next level, or to simply ...

As a software developer, tell me if you've ever done this: Taken a screenshot of something on the desktop Opened it in a graphics program Gone off to work on something else Upon returning to your computer, attempted to click on the screenshot as if it was an actual program. And let's not forget the common goating technique where you take a screenshot of someone's desktop, make it the desktop background, then proceed to hide ...

To get JavaScript IntelliSense working in VS 2008 SP1, you need to tell IntelliSense the location of the libraries that you're using. You do that by adding a special comment at the top of the .js file. It's three slashes followed by the reference in an XML element syntax. For example, my JScript.js file has a dependency on the jQuery library . So, here's what I add to the top of JScript.js: /// <reference path="jquery-1.2.6.js" ...

Just a "two thumbs up" for the addition of JavaScript™/JScript® formatting in Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1. I don't like leaving messy-looking code - especially since JavaScript makes the trip all the way to the client. My formatting preference is to show opening and closing braces on a new line, so here's what you need to do in VS 2008: From the Tools menu, click Options. In the Options dialogue box, check Show All ...

One thing, the quality isn’t expected to be as good as what I get on my Nokia phones for two reasons: 1. The compression is being done in software on the iPhone, where on Nokia phones there’s hardware support for that. 2. The camera isn’t close to as ...

Not to mention that the text format still dominates transactional email (order confirmations etc.). And some audiences simply prefer text email to its HTML sibling.But......there are more resources showing you how to ...
