We all know that global variables are anything but best practice. But there are several instances when it is difficult to code without them. What techniques do you use to avoid the use of global variables? For example, given the following scenario, how would you not use a global variable? Javascript: var uploadCount = 0; window.onl...

Here's my Javascript code to trigger the whole thing: $('#contactform').ajaxForm({ target: '#error', beforeSubmit: function() { $('#error').a...
No thoughts on this one? Anyone? Here is my scenario: I have a form where the user selects a report type, and then selects a list of users they want to generate reports for. When they submit the form, a new window is opened that uses pagination to allow the user to review each user report individual by using next and previous links. ...
When researching JavaScript conditional comments for IE, I stumbled upon @cc_on. This seems to work. However, the wikipedia entry on conditional comments provides the following code for more robust IE detections, specifically IE6: /*@cc_on @if (@_jscript_version > 5.7) document.write("You are using IE8+"); @elif (@_jscri...
Currently i'm parsing bbcode server side but i'd like to show a preview just like this site does. If I process the bbcode serverside using ajax it's a bit laggy, so i thought doing it client side, to just show the preview. Do you guys know any bbcode parser written in javascript? ...
My Spider Sense warns me that using eval() to parse incoming JSON is a bad idea. I'm just wondering if JSON.parse() - which I assume is a part of JavaScript and not a browser-specific function - is more secure. ...

I'm reading Douglas Crockfords Javascript: The Good Parts, I just finished the regular expressions chapter. In this chapter he calls javascript's \b, positive lookahead (?=) and negative lookahead (?!) "not a good part" He explains the reason for \b being not good (it uses \w for word boundary finding, and \w fails for any language that...
When using Cufón the documentation recommends using the following snippet with IE in order to eliminate a small delay in rendering the replacing font. <script type="text/javascript"> Cufon.now(); </script> While testing it I never experienced any delay with IE7+ but the issue occur using Google Chrome.

I have an html application running in IE6(yes it has to be 6 for the time being), currently I print a page/report of the application. This report is all html and just uses the browsers built in print functionality. It currently spans more that 1 page i.e. scrolls, and the printing functionality prints the whole page, even what is not v...

This is probably really easy, but I've never done it before. How do you change your cursor to the finger (like for clicking on links) instead of the regular pointer? And how to do this with jQuery since that's what I'm using it for. ...
How can I achieve this? A user clicks the delete link (with a class of "confirm"). Confirmation message appears asking "Are you sure?" with "Yes" and "Cancel" options. If yes is selected, the link continues as clicked, but if cancel is selected, the action is canceled. Update: Final working code with confirm() thanks to this guy: $...

Also I don't need all the extra functions such ...
