javascript:alert("hello there Opera".split(/\b/).length)
Firefox says 5 , safari says 6, Opera says 15!
it really got me confused while writing some jQuery code!
now I use $.browser.opera ? /(\s+)/ :  /\b/ ; instead.
Ouch, I didn't realize there was that much of a difference!

I'm a bit confused about processData parameter in the ajax call.
From the doc it talks about sending a dom node to the server, that sounds pretty strange. What is it used for?<br clear="all">
From the code it looks like a perfect hook to send non utf-8 data (iso-8859-1).
Has anyone used it???

Some time ago I was lectured about hijacking a thread... I thought what the ___?
Some e-mail programs keep track of the internal headers of e-mails and group them by those headers instead of by the subject.
While this can be good if everyone knows about it, and uses it... it can lead to hijacks.
So, for us <span style="font-weight: bold;">gmail</span> users, we have to remember to compose a new message , rather then hitting reply and changing the subject.<br clear="all">
and for <span style="font-weight: bold;">
you threaded mailer users</span>, don't assume that a changed subject will be kept together with the other messages.
As a side note, for those of you who don't use <span style="font-weight: bold;">gmail
</span>, gmail intelligently shades new lines in a reply... so the changes stand out.. and this gets shot to ___ when you use another e-mailler.

A minor upgrade. a neat feature to help debugging bound events, like click and keyup...
plus clicklogger to report back where your users clicked and when!

Gmail deals pretty well with spam, but it has to be told!
I mark the spam messages as spam. Gmail gets the idea, and the abuser's mail is all marked spam.
If enough people using gmail, just mark the spam as spam... every gmail user will have the spam thrown into the spam folder. (I think!)
Responding to spam, no matter how funny or ridiculous , just makes things worse.<br clear="all">

over the months, I've re-written my debug library several times.
I'm pretty happy with this one. based on code from all over the place!
I hope you can all read the attached file.

since the dev list & tickets system is down... I'll post here.
What do you think of adding this code to ajax.js? it will allow better loading information for long dynamic(php,perl...) ajax requests

I use the error callback, but it doesn't get called back when the xml is malformed.
Do I need to use the complete callback??<br clear="all">

while writing an AJAX application, I was concerned about the little
bit of extra time it took to load the xml. I reversed the application
to start with the xml, apply an xsl transform, that loads in the
jquery scripts, and it's all much faster, with only a few lines of
code being changed.

vs
http://jpassoc.com/survey/survey.xml
jquery made the change extremely easy!
how many of the jquery supported browsers don't do xsl? (or don't do it right)
I tested in FF 2, Safari, Opera, and IE 7.

Just today I was discussing images & content management & php that
started with this guy in Zimbabwe's question on yahoo answers ... I
told how I would do it.. I sent him my dog's page
(http://jpassoc.com/junior) and he said, "Wow! that's great... I'm
learning to do stuff like that with jquery!"
one more noobie for us to tutor, from a fresh bunch of youngsters on
yahoo answers!
