B u t I u e ry!!1 ! jQ DISCLAIMER: This presentation contains a comparison of toys. In the pursuit of fairness, we have included only toys that are members of the Toy Hall of Fame. The following slides are not meant to disparage or celebrate any particular toy in any particular way. No JavaScript libraries have been hurt in the performance of this presentation. We hope.

jQuery

$(function(){ loadImages("interesting"); $("#sidebar h1").click(function(){ setTag(this); }); $("a#addlist").click(function(){ this.blur(); var tagname = prompt("Enter a tag to search Flickr for photos.",""); if (!tagname) return; $("div#sidebar") .append("<h1>"+tagname+"</h1>") .find("h1:last-child") .click(function(){ setTag(this); }); setTag($("div#sidebar h1:last-child")); }); $("a#removelist").click(function(){ jQuery: Node-focused this.blur(); if ($("div#sidebar h1.active").text() == "Interesting Photos") return; $("div#sidebar h1.active").remove(); setTag($("div#sidebar h1:last-child")); }); }); function loadImages(tag){ $.getJSON("http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?tags="+tag +"&tagmode=any&format=json&jsoncallback=?", function(data){ $.each(data.items, function(i,item){ img = new Image(); img.src = item.media.m;

dojo.provide('Flickr.SearchTerm'); dojo.require('dijit._Widget'); dojo.require('dijit._Templated'); dojo.require('dojox.data.FlickrRestStore'); dojo.declare('Flickr.SearchTerm', [ dijit._Widget, dijit._Templated ], { templateString : '<h1>${term}</h1>', store : new dojox.data.FlickrRestStore(), constructor : function(config) { this.term = config.term; }, postCreate : function() { // listen for instructions to show the term d.subscribe('/term/show', this, '_show'); // send instructions to show the term when clicked this.connect(this.domNode, 'click', function() { d.publish('/term/show', [ this.term ]); Dojo: Component-focused }); }, _show : function(term) { // we can receive /term/show messages from any SearchTerm. // look to see if this one is related to this SearchTerm; // if not, set this SearchTerm as inactive if (term != this.term) { this.active = false; dojo.removeClass(this.domNode, 'active'); return;

omg wtf?
