Steve Souders has another insightful post where he discusses splitting the initial payload for the JavaScript in your page / application. Steve first outlines how JavaScript can affect how the browser renders a page: The growing adoption of Ajax and DHTML means today’s web pages have more JavaScript than ever before. The average top ten U.S. web [...]
Eric Miraglia has posted a great tutorial on how to build your first YUI application. He runs you through the steps of creating a simple application that leverages YUI’s AutoComplete Control to create a site-search form powered by the Yahoo!’s Search web service. The tutorial is a great walkthrough of both how to build the [...]
Doctype is an exciting beast, and for many reasons. Having a place to collect this data is key, and as I said yesterday, I can’t wait to see it grow as an open resource. The other cool part of Doctype is that there are tests to backup claims. This seems like a “no brainer” as some [...]
With Silverlight 2 aimed square at Flash, many of us were interested to see what Flash 10 would have in store for us. We get our first glimpse with the Flash 10 prerelease, code named “Astro”. I installed the prerelease and recorded the demos so you can take a quick peak: The biggest feature in my mind, [...]
Chris Schneider has created a javascript implementation of CSS Effects using the MooTools JavaScript library. It basically parses the css and mimics the new Webkit css animations. With the introduction of CSS we could seperate the presentation layer and the content layer, but we were not able to add animations via CSS. DHTML fixed [...]
Mark Pilgrim has released Google Doctype, an open encyclopedia and reference library. Written by web developers, for web developers. It includes articles on web security, JavaScript DOM manipulation, CSS tips and tricks, and more. The reference section includes a growing library of test cases for checking cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility. This is just the beginning for [...]
Have you ever found yourself doing little setTimeout calls as you wait for content to be loaded asynchronously? It seems to happen pretty frequently, and Paul Irish has created a simple utility to help run code when the library you need is loaded. With his executeWhenLoaded(function, objects, that, must, be, present) you can do something like [...]
Peter Michaux has created a make, or rake-like utility for JavaScript called xmake. You create a Xmakefile.js such as PLAIN TEXT JAVASCRIPT: / defines println require('helpers'); xmake.task('low', function() { println('low'); }); xmake.task('mid1', ['low'], function() { println('mid1'); }); xmake.task('mid2', ['low'], function() { println('mid2'); }); xmake.task('high', ['mid1', 'mid2'], function() { println('high'); }); And you run it via: xmake [-f filename] taskname This works with xjs, the server side JavaScript framework Peter is building. [...]
Matthew Buchanan had a little fun and created a Timelapse CSS example that lets you walk through the process of how a browser would put together a page if it was a human artist: When building website templates, I’m constantly switching between a view of my CSS code and a view of the page I’m working [...]
Sometimes it is interesting to see that knowledge from the 10,000 B.C. period of web development can be used in new ways to create - to play it safely - interesting ideas. Each window in a browser has a name property which became pretty much useless when we stopped using pop-up windows and tried to [...]
inputEx is "a javascript framework to build fields and forms" created by Eric Abouaf. The framework uses a JSON format to describe a form, such as: PLAIN TEXT JAVASCRIPT: { "fields" : [ { "type" : "group", [...]

The core of the Persevere project is the Persevere Server. The Persevere server includes a Persevere JavaScript client, but the standards-based interface is intended to [...]
OpenKM is a multi-platform application for document management based on GWT, JBoss, and Jackrabbit (the content repository API). Version 2.0 has been released, which you can test drive to see the application-style interface. The new features in 2.0 include: the previsualization of multimedia elements as images and videos, an improved an rewritten administration interface, a [...]
Are child selectors slower than more simple brethren? This is a question that Jon Sykes sought out data for after he read the work of Jim Barraud. His conclusion? The skinny is that child selectors are a major performance issue. This seemed to make sense, but to me I needed some sort of proof rather than just [...]
Piotr Dachtera took his 64pola.pl, and created a scalable version using Comet. Dylan reports it as "a Jetty-powered Comet app that uses dojox.cometd on the client-side. It’s a solid implementation that shows chess moves in real-time, and to date is the best all-around Comet game I’ve seen that is live to the world." Mathieu Nouzareth then [...]
Tom Trenka has detailed a great analysis of JavaScript performance across the various browsers. This is important work, and it reminded me of the JVM days where people tried to use pools and such... to find out that they were bad for performance as newer VM technology came out. When you try to be too [...]
Craig Riecke, Rawld Gill, and Alex Russell, along with the Pragmatic Programmers themselves have been kind enough to give the Ajaxian community some exclusive extracts from the Mastering Dojo beta book. What do we have on the docket? First, we have details on the Dojo DOM Apis. Specifically, the author takes us through a challenge involving interview [...]

From the oEmbed site: oEmbed is a format for allowing an embedded representation of a URL on third party sites. The simple API allows a website to [...]
