So I’ve been writing episodic blog posts and other random banter in my “other blog”, located at blo.cx - here’s the latest.
I’ll keep this feed for my stuff about Work, though (incl Python, JS, whatnot).

Non-Input onChange events
Here’s something useful.
A scenario I stumbled upon, was about firing an event in the similar manner that the onChange event does for web form inputs, but for any other element in the DOM. Some google-fu later I discovered the DOMAttrModified event, which does just that.
Except that it doesn’t work in IE. I thought that it was a bit too easy. IE does its stuff in its own...

IE7 PNG transparency support not native after all
Well this is really fun. Not.
It seems that the PNG transparency support introduced in IE7 isn’t native at all. It’s the same hack as in IE6, but applied automatically under the hood. The hack, or fix, whichever you decide to call it, is the method of using the DXImageTransform filter’s AlphaImageLoader function to introduce PNG transparency to your images, and if you...
Mind blowing photographs of animals inside womb
yourmindblown:
These amazing embryonic animal photographs of dolphins, sharks, dogs, penguins, cats and elephants are from a new National Geographic Documentary called “Extraordinary Animals in the Womb”. The show’s producer, Peter Chinn, used a combination of three-dimensional ultrasound scans, computer graphics and tiny cameras to capture the process from conception to birth. They are the...

JavaScript Browser Console dependency, part 2
As a follow up to my previous post on a dummy JavaScript console object, some thoughts on refining it;
if(console === "undefined") {
var console = {
log: function() {}
}
}
Also one additional method could be:
console = console || { log: function() {} }
But, I haven’t yet tested it out properly to see possible brainfarts. Also, don’t forget to include other...

Firebug Console dummy object
Something so obvious, I’m ashamed of not thinking about this earlier. When I’ve been relying on using Firebug’s console (as well as WebKit’s), calling on console.log() gives the usual “not a function” error.
At first, my solution was this:
function cout(str) {
if(typeof(console) != "undefined") console.log(str);
}
Well all’s fine and dandy, it...

Attempt #1 at JS Namespaces

this.setter = function(str) {
privateVar = str;
}
this.getter = function() {
alert(privateVar);

Main.NS = new NS();
})();

Microsoft is great at writing error messages
An error was encountered while opening associated documents the last time this solution was loaded. Document load is being skipped during this solution load in order to avoid that error.

Capt. Obvious of JS
In a series of very obvious reasons, which I had completely forgot about, do not try to pass an object containing the key class, for instance in jQuery, to an element, but instead use "class", as in, with quotes. This’ll save you from WebKit parse errors and feelings of shame.

My face when I realized IE doesn't understand...
So, apparently IE wants to be the shitty kid around the block (again) and seems to be bitchy about getting the CSS background-position property values. Because:
$("#navigation").css("background-position"); returns undefined
but:
$("#navigation").css("background-position-x"); returns "0px"
In the light of this, have a small jQuery plug-in, thanks to Dextrose.

Rambling about JS
Remember, you can attach actions to events by assigning an anonymous function to said event.
Before this, yes, I know, this is basic, but I’ve a post coming on the subject on my way of learning things. :D
Example: Let’s open up an image from a link, and preload the image before displaying it and using jQuery to display, because I’m lazy with vanilla JS;
var preload-image =...
