JavaScript Scripting Essentials
Written by on January 14th, 2007 in Ajax News.
Dan Webb asks what are your JavaScript essentials? Those bits and pieces you can’t live without that get copy/pasted from project to project. His pragmatic list includes the $ function, getElementsByClassName, Dean’s event handling, the JS 1.6 array methods, and the DOMContentLoaded event. His full script that he guarantees he _won’t_ support is here.
Do you start with a full on framework or library no matter what the project size, or do you have a small script you use similiar to Dan’s? Do you go with a clean slate until you really feel pain, or do you just swear off javascript and start with GWT or a drag and drop IDE?
