I've no clue what that means, so I'll take it as a yes.

You disappoint me, mootles.

Sauce.

I'm not a movie person...you can't blame me.

So...you want me to find you some high school girls?

There's no better feeling than waking up in the morning, coming on here, and seeing that there were posts and discussions going on while I was sleeping. I love how the region has returned to constant activity, even when I'm not around, and I love everyone that contributes to that activity...we have some awesome people.

We do have awesome people! Wintreath is so hella!
Fuck yeah!

As it stands, I may or may not return to activity, sorry.

Just make it through everything alive, Nox. Be well, you pretty thing.

You will make it, Nox...I have faith in you.

So, tonight I'm aiming to learn jQuery, because apparently it's a lot easier to do things in it than with plain old javascript, which I've been a faithful coder of for many years. Some of it seems neat, but some of it eh...I don't get the obsession in the tutorials with anonymous functions. Why would you code this...?

Code: [Select]

$(document).ready(function(){
$('div').hide()
});
When you can code this?

Code: [Select]

$(document).ready($('div').hide());
I've even seen examples where functions were put into functions into functions...that's just not the way I do things. I like neat, easily maintained code, not a clusterfuck. I suspect that's going to make it harder for me to learn jQuery...

Being someone who codes jQuery on a fairly regular basis (seriously, I love it!) and having not seen any instances where you would code using the second code block you provide, Wintermoot, I'm not entirely sure where you got the idea that you could code using that shorthand.

I believe the reason you use anonymous functions is that you are passing the function as an argument to the ready function. That means you can have multiple instances of code all calling the ready function with their own anonymous blocks of code they want to execute, and when the website fully loads, they will all execute one after another.

However, if you want a shorthand version, you can use this:

Code: [Select]

$(function(){

   // jQuery methods go here...

});Oh, and the way I would see you code the ready function is to have it appear in one place where you can put all of the code you want executed when things are ready (usually in the footer that gets put on every page).

I got the idea from putting it together, trying it out, and seeing it work. I also looked up some articles from people who agree with me on that.

I've been coding things for about ten years now, and I've just developed ideas on how I want my code to be structured. I was once told I have very neat coding, lol...but jQuery code looks horrific and violates all my standards, lol.

I'd be interested to see your articles, only to learn more of the shorthand style.

But yeah, if you have coding standards that go against what jQuery provides, perhaps put the jQuery into a separate JavaScript file...

I think I am beginning to prefer this region over my home region.

I feel like I've struck a nerve against your programming sensibilities.

All regions have their bouts of drama...even Wintreath has in the past. I'm sure Ainur will recover and be fine in the long run.

I always enjoy my visits here

I feel like I've struck a nerve against your programming sensibilities.

When it comes to jQuery, I don't really have any coding styles, so usually just stick to the default suggested way of coding things.

So it's interesting to hear from someone who is really into JavaScript to learn more about the coding styles out there. I see JavaScript as more of a side language I have to delve into every now and then to achieve something more than anything else...

Oh winter... I am sure Ainur will be fine, I just said what on my mind at the moment

Now I am thinking about smearing whip cream on that guy from big bang.
