When I click "next" to see the next photo, the new photo loads and the URL updates, but the whole page doesn't refresh. Does anyone know...

The button receives the click, and code associated with...

What I'm trying to do is let a visitor change an image by clicking through a set of thumbnails. However, the problem I'm running into is that I really want to get away from hardcoding the image locations into the script. I want the script to be portable enough to run on any old page and set of images as long as the IDs used match. Is the...

That's how I understand it. Do events bubble up the DOM tree if there are no events attached that are the same and i...

One of the main ideas behind using bitwise operators in languages like C++/java/C# is that they're extremely fast. But I've heard that in javascript they're very slow (admittedly a few milliseconds probably doesn't matter much today). Why is this so? (this question discusses when bitwise operators are used, so I'm changing the focus of ...
