Weblog entry #199 for Steve

Javascript tweaks
Posted by Steve on Fri 18 Jul 2008 at 13:18

I've made a few tweaks to the javascript used upon this site:

jQuery

The jQuery javascript library is behind all the functionality of the site.

(By which I mean that all of my custom code has been removed or replaced.)

Tag Completion

Each of the "add tag" sections should now offer tag completion, which is pretty neat.

Comment Entry

The comment, and weblog, entry textareas should now resize automatically as more text is inserted.

Any feedback is most welcome.

I don't love javascript to the extent I'll add it arbitrarily over the site, but there will be a few more enhancements added to the site in the near future - I see no harm in improving the site for those that have javascript enabled.

I won't object to adding javascript code, as long as it is still possible to browse your site without javascript enabled.

My intention is to always allow that.

Well ... after a completely gormlessly frustrating day yesterday ... I came to this site to post something only to find the Javascript b0rks the textarea using Iceweasel under Debian stable.

I use NoScript and I disallowed d-a to find I could then actually use the text area the way I am used to using a text area - with scroll bars and the ability to move up and down past the initial number of rows evening using the wheel on the mouse!

I know you've put a lot of work into it but, sorry, it doesn't appear to be working properly under some situations.

Camel - straw - back.
