The short story

Here’s the recipe: MooTools modules Native, Class, and Class.Extras (24k uncompressed); jQuery; and Class.Mutatotors.jQuery. Write a MooTools Class and use jQuery for the DOM.

Class.Mutatotors.jQuery

This mutator automatically extends the jQuery object with the class, so you can use conventional jQuery syntax to instantiate and control the class.

Object Oriented jQuery with MooTools

jQuery 1.4.2 is now out! This is the second minor release on top of jQuery 1.4, fixing some outstanding bugs from the 1.4 release and landing some nice improvements.

I would like to thank the following people that provided patches for this release: Ben Alman, Justin Meyer, Neeraj Singh, and Noah Sloan.

Downloading

As usual, we provide two copies of jQuery, one minified (we now use the Google Closure Compiler as the default minifier) and one uncompressed (for debugging or reading).

• jQuery Minified (24kb Gzipped)
• jQuery Regular (155kb)

You can feel free to include the above URLs directly into your site and you will get the full performance benefits of a quickly-loading jQuery.

Additionally you can also load the URLs directly from either Google or Microsoft’s CDNs:

• http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js
• http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js

Harmony, from Martin Aumont, is a new Ruby DSL for executing JavaScript and DOM-using code from within Ruby apps. Why’s that cool? Well, it enables you to build your own Ruby-level unit tests for JavaScript code within your Web applications – everything can be under one set of test suites!

Als Beispiel ein kleines JavaScript

<script type=”text/javascript”>
function uDial (frage, verweis) {
if (confirm(frage)) location.href=verweis;
return false;
}
</script>

und das Script nach dem Highlighter

Mit diesem Werkzeug kann der Anwender die mögliche Vordergrund und die Hintergrundfarbe spezifizieren, dadurch ist es sehr einfach möglich das Kontrastverhalten von verschiedenen Farbtönen zu testen oder zu überprüfen. So lassen sich Farbendefizite einfach festellen. Ausserdem lassen sich die Farben wie auf  Schwarzweiss-Schirmem darstellen. Es lassen sich mit dem Colour Contrast Check auch feststellen, ob die Farben der WCAG 2.0 Kontrast-Verhältnisformel entsprechen.
