I've actually had a few questions come up at the office lately about how they work, so I figured turning it into a blog post might not be a bad idea. It's an important concept in Javascript many [...]]]></description>

I spent most of my time tweeting the event using the #jQCon tag, but I wanted to collect [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A quick Javascript tip that I pass along in a lot of code reviews is to make use of an options object as a hash to pass a large number of parameters to a function without writing each one individually.  For example:
function doSomething(id, someParameter, anArgument, optionC){ };
vs.
function doSomething(id, options){ };
By encapsulating the 3 additional parameters [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A bit over a year ago, I wrote a post on Keeping Track of Focus using Javascript.  Unfortunately, the code is severely flawed (though I haven't yet figured out why it continues to work where I implemented it--but that's a question for another day).
PPK points out that unlike most javascript events, focus does not bubble. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick note here today--for those who aren't aware, Robert Penner's easing equations, which I ported to script.aculo.us several months ago have been merged into scripty2.  They exist in the s2.fx.transitions package and are available for use directly from the library.
I'm pleased to have contributed code to such a great project as scripty2.  Thanks [...]]]></description>
