I have created an html page with a Tabber tab functionality. Each tab has its own table that loads when the tab is clicked and only loads once on the initial tab click to stop the tables loading more than once. Each tab table exists in its own .jsp html file and is loaded through javascript using the $("#tab1").load('tabqtable.jsp');...
So I was having a debate with a fellow engineer about looping in JavaScript. The issue was about the native for loop construct and prototype's each() method. Now I know there are lots of docs/blogs about for and for-each, but this debate is somewhat different and I would like to hear what some of you think. Let's take the following loop...

I'm trying to implement parsing of CSS in JavaScript so that: a { color: red; } is parsed into the object: { 'a' { 'color': 'red' } } First off, is there a JavaScript / jQuery library I can use?

In other words, hide only works if the actual element is shown. Here is the code, to duplicate, Hide office...

For example: <p>The dragon <span class="tooltip">a large, mythical beast</span> belched fire at St. George.</p> I have found that in Firefox Mac, span.tooltip will disappear from view (i...
