That's quite a leap in logic.

It seems to be a tool to help new users learn things like that although this code is legal: $("selector").css("color", "red").css("margin", 0); This would be more efficient: $("selector").css({color: "red", margin: 0}); That doesn't indicate anything wrong with the library any more than any lint program indicates problems with its target environment. -- Scott

Well, sort of. It's not so much the Johnny-come-lastly advisor plug- in, but the fact that it is just another horrible plug-in for an equally bad pile of JS. Anyone who would use jQuery enough to want to write a plug-in is not going to be the best candidate to wtite a browser scripting "lint." I can't see it. The idea (which is sound) is to warn developers when they are doing something incorrect (or ill-advised). I haven't looked at the code for it (and I'm sure I never will). I find I don't have to do that anymore as the basic rules always apply. :)

Of course her paper was on how to creatively integrate art education into pre- school and Kindergarten programs. It was filled with many colorful illustrations. Her adviser loved it, and so did most of the committee. But she did eventually have to submit a more formal version. So much for creativity! -- Scott |
