Hi, I have a need to provide a widget on a webpage that allows a user to enter in a zipcode or suburb to determine if the website's business delivers to their area (basically are they inside of some range/radius). Anyone know of any libraries (commercial or opensource that would help achieve this instead of writing my own bit of code. ...
If I release a commercial client-side JavaScript library similar to the jQuery, how can I detect people using it without paying my license fee? If I insist that the license fee must be paid before the library can be used in a web application, how can I enforce this and determine who is violating this policy? Is this even possible? ...

Maybe it is not because of Crockford but Javascript itself. I don't care the Good Parts of the book now, but I want to know the Bad Parts o...

So I've recently started to include quite a few .js files in to my web application and some of them depend on each other so load order is important. However rails caching just seems to load a all.js file with no particular order to the files. What's a good way to solve this issue? ...
I'm getting a few "Don't make functions within a loop." errors from JSLint, anyone got any tidy suggestions on how to fix this stuff up? Perhaps my naughtiness is excusable because of my YAHOO dependencies (yd. below)? I can safely say that the only time I've done the following: for( var i=0; i<FLN.revealers.length;i++ ) { var revE...
