    OKAY! I promise, this is the last flickr related post (Flickr Video Plugin, Flickr Gallery Plugin. I really should just write an all out complete flickr plugin for all your photo, video and gallery needs o_O. Maybe. One day.

  • Get Flickr Videos from URLs with jQuery

    I liked the little flickr snippet I wrote for embedding galleries from urls so much that I decided to write another flickr centric plugin for grabbing videos from urls. This is one of those features that hasn’t got that much traction but it is pretty neat. Both of these plugin are pretty good for generating [...]

    I find that I sometimes want to embed a set of images that someone hasn’t created a gallery for. You can actually see a slide show of them (example: jQuery Bowling Awesomeness!) but there isn’t a way to embed/share that view.. until now. I’ve created a quick little plugin that grabs the set id and [...]

  • Live vs. Static Node Lists

    A little while ago, I was working on an application where I wanted to cache collections of elements to save on DOM traversals / improve performance. The problem with caching a collection of elements is that you’ll, in most cases, store a static node list. Thus, when new elements are introduced to the DOM, that [...]

  • Getting a clean document or window Object in JavaScript

    Most JavaScript libraries and plugins have now implemented a form of protection against carless remapping of native methods. Protoype.js itself used to do this kind remapping/modification, which they’ve now changed. That said, there’s still a very real possibility, as a library or plugin, that your script will be run in an environment not carefully maintained [...]

    It’s important to remember that writing good Javascript includes writing scalable Javascript. Little optimizations can always be implemented and best practices are good to keep in mind. Training yourself to write code like this can be a bit tasking but I promise, you’ll really enjoy doing things like caching and optimizing selectors once you’ve begun. [...]

    I’ve come across this many times where I want to be able to turn static text URL’s into active HTML links with Javascript. A long time ago I came across a script for it and have been using it alongside jQuery. The solution is essentially using some good old Javascript and Regular Expressions. Here’s the [...]
