I'm looking for the pros/cons of pulling jQuery & other JS libraries from Google API's cloud as opposed to downloading files and deploying directly. What say you? My decision The likelihood of the lib already cached on the users system is the overriding factor for me, so I'm going with a permalink to googleapis.com (e.g. ajax.googl...

The functions will never trigger for normal use...

My site is in VB.NET and I'm putting jQuery code on both my actual .ascx UserControl and in a separate file (something like myscripts.js). This is because I'm using webforms as I still don't know MVC well enough to implement it, so I have to get t...

I have been making webpages for about 5 years now. I'm a C# programmer but I do know HTML, JavaScript, and CSS by nature and all my websites seem to look like they just walked out of the year 1995's internet. Is there quick reference to a set of do's and don't in web design? Note: Even though my websites don't look great, at least they...
jQuery and similar libraries provide a number of useful APIs for DOM traversal and manipulation. Where your site as high number of repeat visitors, their use is easily justified as caching will offset any bandwidth cost to the end user. In other cases visitors to the site might always be unique and thus the bandwidth penalty for these l...

Sometimes things have bitten me, so I've gone back to using the full selector and it has worked. So does the var...

What is the correct way to reference Javascript in ASP.NET MVC? Using something like ../../Scripts/Myscript.js seems to work fine for routes that are the traditional {controller}/{action}/{id}, but are more fragile for anything more or less complex than that. Of greater concern is that the rational absolute reference (/Scripts/Myscript.j...
