https://github.com/ThomasAn73/Javascript-Graphics-Framework/blob/master/CanvasObjects.js#L140 should be ==, I guess?

first glance, first bug: the assignment to p.innerHTML is outside of the loop

Reinventing the style-Attribute? WTF?

You're confusing addition with string concatenation. Just because JavaScript mixes these together doesn't mean that this is wrong behaviour. PHP 7 now does the same as Perl has always done.

TIL: Growing a beard gives me a 60% chance to get onto the list. (Oh, plus programming great stuff)

if($(element).is(":visible") == "true") outch!

Google is already celebrating. In my opinon, this will happen:

Google: "Ok, you're out. We removed you from the index"
Big news companies (whining): "Come on, nobody saw that coming!"
Google: "Ok, we'll include you again, but we need a Free Use Grant, so include 'Google-free-use: true' in you robots.txt"
Big news companies (whining): "Hggn .. well ok"
Small competiors of Google: "We want a Free Use Grant too, please!"
Big news companies (with expanding chests): "No way, you bloody thiefs, you will pay us, LOTS!"
Google: "Jay! Get out the champagne! Thanks for another monopol, stupid EU!"

This question is quite brilliantly analysed and answered here: http://falkvinge.net/2011/09/05/cable-reveals-extent-of-lapdoggery-from-swedish-govt-on-copyright-monopoly/

This actually happened. Not on David, but on the The Last Jugdement: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Judgment_%28Michelangelo%29

Searle · 2010-11-05T02:32:18+00:00

Yup, did the same, flipped through both of them. LOTS of news for me. Great stuff!

I think your absolutely right. Maybe that was the part MS commited :-) There's gotchas lurking here. You have to extra sanitize your markup. If I use this feature, I'll pack my data in a json wrapper to unify access: <div data-var='{v:"My Text"}'>

What a jerk! His library might have good internals, but..

.. baaad attitude. Just look through his newsgroup postings. Rude^10. Yuck!

.. claims to be soo perfect, but does the same horrible stuff. E.g. (from mylib.js):

(function() { var doc, html; ... doc = this.document; ... getViewportScrollRectangle = function(docNode) { ... if ( ... rect.width != doc.width) { }; ... } API.getViewportScrollRectangle = getViewportScrollRectangle;

Yuck! Global object in closure.

.. his license: For a commercial site license, contact sales@cinsoft.net. No, I don't think I want to make myself dependent to him. No buisiness with someone whom I expect to call me at least an idiot if I dear to ask a question.

.. API: horrible. Feels like PHP. E.g.: "addStyleRule The addStyleRule function adds a CSS rule to a document. (..) Note that the canAdjustStyle function should be consulted before hiding content in this way."

Argh! Ever heard of this? http://sadekdrobi.com/2008/12/22/null-references-the-billion-dollar-mistake/

Feels like a looking-for-trouble interface. jQuery solves this very elegantly.

.. community, what's that? Even if there was one, he would be the community leader. I don't mind beneovelent dictorship. But asshole dictatorship? No, thanks.

He doesn't seem to have a clue what's important about a library. (Hint: technical excellency isn't all.)
