OO Javascript Inheritance

February 27th, 2007

for basic Javascript inheritance check out:

http://www.webreference.com/js/column79/

for an advanced method, check out:

http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2006/01/17/javascript-inheritance/

these are both excellent articles/tutorials, especially the sitepoint article …which uses a function call (that looks very much like a hack, but isn’t…) to assosiate subclass and superclass and ‘inject inheritance…’ (uses regex)

Happy reading!!

“…One of the great physicists of this century is a man named Richard Feynman, who teaches at CalTech and knows as much about the way the Cosmos works as any man alive. Feynman has participated in half a dozen extraordinary theoretical developments and won a fistful of prizes, including the one you get from Sweden. Even so, he likes to tell people that physics has not accomplished as much as some physicists like to brag, and that we are not as close to a great universal theory of matter and energy as some theorists like to think. Indeed, Feynman has said, physicists ought to put a special sign in their offices to remind themselves of how much they don’t know. The message on the sign would be very simple. It would consist entirely of one word, or, rather, number: 137…”

Dojo FishEyeList Widget Hack

February 20th, 2007

as seen on the dojo-interest mailing group I’ve uploaded a hacked version the FishEyeList Widget that I made sometime last year when trying to learn more about the technology…

I’ve made the menu go around in a circle, but the code is very messy and the functionality is even more so. I’m working on version 0.2 which will hopefully be alot better… Watch this space

see it here: Circluar FishEyeList Widget
