The following code illustrates an object literal being assigned, but with no semicolon afterwards: var literal = { say: function(msg) { alert(msg); } } literal.say("hello world!"); This appears to be legal, and doesn't issue a warning (at least in FireFox 3). Is this completely legal, or is there a strict version of JavaScript wh...
I would like to flash a success message on my page. I am using the jQuery fadeOut method to fade and then remove the element. I can increase the duration to make it last longer, however this looks strange.

If I refer to the JS file using this syntax: src="/Javascript/jsfile.js" then the file is correctly picked up if the project is deployed to the root of the URL. However, if this "web site" is deployed to a sub-folder of the main url this won't...

To accomplish this, I need to get the index of a chec...
