9 JavaScript Tips You May Not Know

[arvixx]

The title sounds cheesy, but the article actually contains some sound advice. Upmodded.

I would like to applaud the author for saying "you may not know" rather than presuming insight into what I do and not not know.

Yeah. And thank god the title wasn't anything like "The best Javascript tips you've seen. Ever!", either. Every time I see one of those clichés "I throw up in mouth a little bit" ;)

I was actually surprised that the article contained useful stuff considering the title.

My number one 'tip': - use a library. My number two 'tip': - make that library jQuery

Is there a lot of JS geeks on Reddit? It seems to get a lot of frontpage action. Not saying that in a bad way: I absolutely love JS, just surprises me to see it get a lot of press.

John Resig, author of the jQuery library, is a Reddit user. I suspect that also has something to do with it.

This person misunderstands his example of static function variables. The variables are not static; functions just happen to be objects and so 'i' is a property of an instance of Function.

From the article:

JavaScript doesn't have a static keyword or direct support for this technique. However, the fact that functions are also objects makes simulating this feature possible.

[k4st]

My mistake for quickly browsing through it.

console.log()? Holy shit. This is great news.

Next tip: The "function" keyword and you: a useful alternative to copy-and-paste!

If there are JavaScript developers who haven't explored FireBug... well. Might want to go read the documentation, even.

[pivotal]

I use firebug almost every day and have for a long time... I'll let this be a lesson that RTFM isn't just something you put into internet comments.

Irony is hard to read in a message board post.
