I’m already in London, strollling a bit while awaiting @media 2007 to start on Thursday.
I’m at the Thistle city Barbican hotel, thus if you are attending the conference and staying there, let me know so we can have a few drinks.
My brother Damir is coming from Sweden and I’m certain the conference would be a great experience. I’m really looking forward to meet more people.
This is probably old news to regular Javascript coders, but for me it was an ugly bite. I have renewed my interest in JS with the abundance of libraries springing up and started coding few solid client side interfaces in the office.
A certain interface was previously built in a hurry and HTML code was littered with plenty onclick="somefunction()" code. I re-factored all of that so that handlers were added on DOM.load; however, there was one nasty feature left in the code.
I had a table of 6 rows and button which that says “Add line”. Adding lines is easy: create the whole table row HTML on server, fetch that with XHR call and do tbody.innerHTML += sRow. Actually, this was the code I used for IE and as soon as this is done, all the previously set event handlers went missing. Like they never existed.
Bottom line: changing innerHTML property removes all late-bound event handlers and script on that piece of the page.
Solution was to get off my lazy fingers and type in proper DOM calls: insertRow and insertCell. Clean code and no browser branching. :)
After my last rant, Larry from Ma.gnolia chimed in, saying that improvements are on the way and indeed they were.
3x less bytes to download, but I believe more importantly – 10 HTTP requests now, 2x less than before. 6kB HTML, only 1 .js file and only 1 .css file. And none of the old functionality is lost. If there is anything lost, I did not use it then.
One could call this perfect. Great work.
I started using ma.gnolia.com several months ago, as I realized that my Firefox bookmarks.html creeps close to 2MB, out of which I regularly use about 50. Rest is just nice to save. I went through several online bookmark managers and chose the flowery site because it has a nice interface and it works just fine. The Mini Ma.rker that you use to add new bookmarks is nicely done.
Apart from the fact that I much too often see this:
If you can point me to the save button, you’re my hero. Continue Reading →
You have to be really, really…ignorant ass, to do this.

I don’t even want to mention the crappy image handling for the covers. Beh…I don’t even want to look at this again – it’s an insult to web developer profession…even common sense.
Update: 1 day later, they seem to have fixed the display, although there are few overlaps here and there. No, I did not visited it :) – I saw it mentioned in the comments on Digg.
Update 2: two days later, any browser except IE is toll to go…
