Non-blocking JavaScript Downloads » Yahoo! User Interface Blog
External JavaScript files block downloads and hurt your page performance, but there is an easy way to work around this problem: use dynamic scripts tags and load scripts in parallel, improving the page loading speed and the user experience.

MooTools Image Preloading with Progress Bar
The idea of image preloading has been around since the dawn of the internet. When we didn't have all the fancy stuff we use now, we were forced to use ugly mouseover images to show dynamism. I don't think you were declared an official programmer until you had seen Macromedia Dreamweaver's mouseover function. MooTools image preloading requires very little code — let me show you how it's done.

Ajaxian » Reverse Autocomplete; The details matter
Autocomplete was one of the first Ajax patterns to come about. We often talk about how it looks, but the how it works part is what really matters. How smart is the algorithm to work out what you are completing against? How long do you go before you kick in to see a result? Does it narrow enough?

A List Apart: Articles: Getting Out of Binding Situations in JavaScript
Most developers don’t know about—or don’t care enough about—binding in JavaScript. Yet this single issue is responsible for a sizeable portion of the questions on most JavaScript-related support channels, and thousands—if not millions—of hairs being tortured away from developer heads every single day. Yet with a little attention to this oft-overlooked subject, you can avoid wasting your time, energy, and patience and move on to more powerful, efficient scripting.

Exact Keyword Tracking with ga.js: Unofficial Google Analytics Blog
Last April, I posted a script that allowed paid search advertisers to view the exact search queries of their visitors. This was essentially a free tool that gave website owners the ability to weed out ineffective keywords and put more money toward the precise phrases that were really driving their business. Google Analytics doesn't do this out of the box. It will tell you exact search queries for visits from organic listings, but for paid search, you're stuck with the keywords that you're bidding on. With broad and phrase matching, these could vary pretty drastically from what the visitors typed into the search engine.

MooTools 1.2 Tooltips: Customize Your Tips
I’ve never met a person that is “ehhhh” about XHTML/javascript tooltips; people seem to love them or hate them. I’m on the love side of things. Tooltips give you a bit more information about something than just the element itself (usually an image or link). Netflix is a perfect example of useful tooltips. When you hover over a movie title, a tooltip displays with a quick summary, cast list, and movie rating. Thanks Netflix — you’ve saved me yet another page load! Tooltips can also provide another method of website branding. Why throw a vanilla tooltip to the user when you can brand your website? MooTools 1.2 provides a Tips plugin that allows for easy-to-customize tooltips. Let me show you how to create a

SitePoint Blogs » In-browser Development Tools: Firebug Still King
At the start of this year, I sat down to write the “Errors and Debugging” chapter of Simply JavaScript. I cracked my fingers, dove into the landscape of JavaScript debugging tools, and emerged very disappointed several hours later. At the time, Firefox was the only browser with a JavaScript debugging tool worth writing about: Firebug. Less than a year later, the landscape has changed dramatically. Every major browser has introduced new development tools that make it easier to diagnose problems with your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code right inside the browser in question. But can any of these tools stack up against the slick and effortlessly powerful tools provided by Firebug? Let’s take a look.

A List Apart: Articles: Sketching in Code: the Magic of Prototyping
Over the last year, I’ve noticed more and more conversations about prototyping as a method of approaching web application development. Beyond casual conversations, prototyping has also increasingly been the topic of blog posts or subject matter for conference presentations. The reasons for this increased interest include a laundry list of benefits that prototyping can bring to the process of developing compelling web applications. Ranging from increased collaboration to more effective solutions, these benefits have made prototyping a valuable new approach to consider for your next project.

Ajaxian » modules.js: A New Stand-alone JavaScript Module Loader
Kris Kowal dropped us a line pointing us towards his year-long labor of love: modules.js, a stand-alone dynamic JavaScript module loader. As the module-loading space is quite crowded at the moment (e.g., Google, Dojo, Yahoo, JSModule, etc.), we asked Kris to explain what makes modules.js different. He had some interesting things to say. Existing Module Loaders Fall Short of Traditional Language Import Semantics

Minify CSS/JS ant revisited using YUI compressor | Henke.ws - Failure is not an option (it comes bundled with Windows)
I have revisited adding Yui compressor into my work's ant build script to minify JS and CSS scripts. The current jar was yuicompressor-2.3.5.jar . It took a lot of playing around but I finally stumbled on how to get it to work. Here is the snippet for the yuicompressor. I had to jump through a couple hoops like overriding the current js/css scripts with the optimized js/css scripts. I'll release a full working copy in a zip, you can run against your webroot. We achieved an average 18% compression rate for all our js/css files.

Ajaxian » Is “finally” the answer to all IE6 memory leak issues?
Hedger Wang has been scanning a lot of Chinese blogs lately for solutions to IE6 and memory leak issues. One of the things he stumbled upon is a pretty nifty way of nulling the objects to stop memory leaks by using the try ... finally construct. So instead of this solution which leaks memory:

Ajaxian » Google Analytics after onLoad and document.write for XHTML
I saw two articles that were both looking at similar issues. Firstly, Pete Higgins has looked at the fact that Google Analytics is normally loaded via serial script tags which cause the rest of the application to wait and created a simple wrapper that changes things. We have all seen the tell tale: "waiting for google-analytics.com ... ".
