New version of Notepad++ (4.2.2) have been released! My favourite text-editor.

A couple of posts (related to javascript) surfaced lately, either through Dzone or Reddit.

• Nine Javascript Gotchas 
• The 7 deadly sins of JavaScript 

Pitfalls

From The 7 Deadly Sins of Javascript

• Validating user input
• Popping faux windows
  • You cannot bookmark, print, minimize, maximize, or organize them, but they sure do look real.
• Striping tables like a Zebra
• Floating or flying widgets
• Dragging and dropping
• Retrieving the date and time
• Ignoring the rogue error

From Nine Javascript Gotchas

• Comma Caused Coruption
• The adulterous "this" can change what it refers to.
• Identity Theft
• String replace only replaces the first occurrence
• MouseOut sometimes means MouseIn
• ParseInt scoffs at your base ten numbering system
• for loops over everything including the kitchen sink
• Event Handler Pitfalls
• Focus Pocus

I’ve been the victim of identity theft for several occasions (3rd javascript gotcha).  Heh.

I’d better equip myself with some small note-taking equipment, because when I’m waiting for the bus to arrive, ideas comes raining down on me and just like it came, it vanished upon arrival at the office.
