I recently discovered that the biggest Russian search engine Yandex (yeah, it’s bigger than Google in Russia) is using jQuery on its home page. It also hosts all previous jQuery versions on it’s fast gzip enabled servers just like Google and MIcrosoft do. Because most of the Russian internet users have visited Yandex already, they already have it in their browser cache. I also did route tracing

After a long break on the blog, I am back on the release date of jQuery version 1.4! Today is jQuery’s birthday and what can be a better present than a new version release? As I tweeted previously jQuery 1.4 has a lot to offer: better iframe support, flexible events (this in particular), etc. If you have not been keeping up to date with jQuery 1.4 features John Resig will announce 1.4 release

I recently came across a 2 dimensional barcode called QR Code. QR code’s are popular in Japan and they are mainly used there to quickly get to some website on their mobiles by simply taking a picture of the QR code. You may read more about QR codes on Wikipedia.

Jetpack is a new product of Mozilla Labs. It is basically a new way to create Firefox plugins using web programming languages like HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The idea behind is the same as for Adobe AIR. If you know HTML, CSS and JavaScript you can build a Firefox plugin in no time. The bad news is that Jetpack is still in early developer testing stage, so it is not available in Firefox yet. The

It is Friday and we don’t want to read long posts and tutorials. So today’s post is going to be short and sweet. I’ve been playing a lot with Twitter lately. I wrote some jQuery and javascript functions that get user details, etc. I will share it with you next week. But for today, I would like to share Twitter’s JSON and JSONP API URL. I am sharing it because it was hard to find it first. I

Today I came across this post called “IP Address Geolocation Javascript API : JSON”. The author provides you with a free geolocation query URL. The API returns the geographical location of the queried IP address with some additional information such as: { 'status':'ok', 'IP': '74.125.45.100', 'CountryCode': 'US', 'CountryName': 'United States', 'RegionName': 'California', 'ZipPostalCode':

Since writing on this blog I posted two jQuery plugins and I needed to compress my js files. So as jQuery documentation suggests I used YUICompressor. YUICompressor is javascript and CSS file/code compressor written in Java language. So to run one yourself you will need JRE installed on your machine. Then call this command: java -jar /path/to/yuicompressor.jar path/to/file.js -o path/to/

Sitting on jQuery's support mailing list I noticed that developers use jQuery with huge data sets and their code becomes very slow. Examples would be generating very long tables with a lot of rows using AJAX to get JSON data. Or iterating through a long (very long) list of data, etc. So I compiled a list of 5 easy tips on how to improve your code performance while working with huge data sets in

There are times when you can't understand why your code is not doing what it's supposed to do. After killing half an hour on trying to figure out what is the problem you either give up and decide to rewrite or leave it for later. Later looking at your code you clearly see the bug and think how you couldn't you see it. For cases like that you can use online JavaScript code validator JSLint.
