I created an XPCOM object in C++ for a FireFox extension. I'm using a worker thread to listen for an event and when it happens, I need to do stuff on the main thread. Obviously, I can't just sit and wait in JavaScript on the main thread because you need to be able to use the browser (my event happens very rarely). I tried doing this in t...
I'm taking an existing JS library I wrote up some time ago, and trying to organize it under a common namespace...Here is an example of the technique I am trying to use: var NameSpace = new function () { var privateMember = []; function privateMethod() {}; return { PublicMethod1 : function(arg, arg2) { ...
I'm putting together a presentation to my company on the reasons I'm adopting jQuery as the preferred JavaScript / AJAX library. While most of the work is done, a comparison between different libraries would be of great use - especially against the Microsoft ASP.Net Ajax framework. Now please note I'm not after a theological debate on ...
Is there such a thing as an atomic test-and-set, semaphore, or lock in Javascript? I have javascript invoking async background processes via a custom protocol (the background process literally runs in a separate process, unrelated to the browser). I believe I'm running into a race condition; the background process returns between my tes...
I have been using jQuery IntelliSense in VS2008 and it has been great. Recently I added a reference to jQuery UI and since then, the jQuery IntelliSense has went away. I found that once you reference another .js file in your document, the IntelliSense goes away. Any way to avoid this? ...
I'm working with an ASP.NET app with localization and globalization. I'm having some difficulty understanding how to get the Date() function in javascript to work properly given the user's environment.

Is it possible to do a cross-site call, in Javascript, to a WCF service? I don't mind if it's a POST or a GET. But I've heard that these days, browsers don't allow cross-site calls with either POST or GET. How can I circumvent this and still call a WCF Service? ...
Dear fellow developers, A newbie question from me, please. I have a large data set that I prefer to be submitted as an object instead of an array; e.g. foo = bar = baz = {}; $.ajax({ url: "index", type: "post", data: { foo: foo, bar: bar, baz: baz }, dataType: "json" }); Upon submit, Firebug tells me that I have submi...
My web application uses jQuery and some jQuery plugins (e.g. validation, autocomplete). I was wondering if I should stick them into one .js file so that it could be cached more easily, or break them out into separate files and only include the ones I need for a given page. I should also mention that my concern is not only the time it t...

I am looking for a good API documentation for Javascript especially related to browsers and DOM. I am not looking for any kind of Javascript tutorial, but simply a documentation for all standard Javascript classes and for classes used in web browsers. Something similar to Java's Javadoc ( http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/ ) ...

I'm using Google Ajax API and they suggest I use google.setOnLoadCallback() to do various things related to their API but I'm using also jQuery's $(document).ready() to do other JS things, not related to Google API. Is it safe to mix these two approaches in one document? I did not notice any problems yet but I suppose it's a matter of s...
The "onsubmit" statement is not called: <form action="index.php" method="post" onsubmit="return validateSearchKeyword()"> <input class="text_search" id="text_search" name="text_search" type="text" value="search" onfocus="if (this.value=='search') this.value = ''" onBlur="if (this.value=='') this.value = 'search'" /> </form> ...
YUI 3 allows you to write Y.all(".foo").removeClass("bar"); However it does not allow writing Y.all(".foo").removeClass("bar").set("innerHTML", "baz"); It seems all the "operational" methods always terminate the call chain. This means YUI 3 only provides half the power of chaining that jQuery provides. Does anyone know why this is, an...
