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.

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.

  1. That’s really great editor, not just a text editor but also a development environment. Like this very much :)
