Development Contract Killer

Between us [company name] and you [customer name]

Was asked to look at this thing again; only reviewed the JS portion. Last I checked, the CSS was similarly reality-challenged. Graphics are nice, but are tantamount to the paint job on a used car. Under the hood, this thing is all junk. It's hard to imagine the innards of any Web or mobile device-based application would end up like this, which raises the question of whether the authors have ever written such applications (or any amount of meaningful JS).

/**
 * @class Ext
 * @singleton

There (still) are no "classes" or "singletons" in JS (starting off on the wrong foot by mangling JS terms).

#Four Ways To Do Pub/Sub With jQuery and jQuery UI (in the future)

Between jQuery 1.7 and some of work going into future versions of jQuery UI, there are a ton of hot new ways for you to get your publish/subscribe on. Here are just four of them, three of which are new.

(PS: If you're unfamiliar with pub/sub, read the guide to it that Julian Aubourg and I wrote here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptjunkie/hh201955.aspx)

##Option 1: Using jQuery 1.7's $.Callbacks() feature:

$.Callbacks are a multi-purpose callbacks list object which can be used as a base layer to build new functionality including simple publish/subscribe systems. We haven't yet released the API documentation for this feature just yet, but for more information on it (including lots of examples), see my post on $.Callbacks() here:

	var parser = document.createElement('a');
	parser.href = "http://example.com:3000/pathname/?search=test#hash";

	parser.protocol; // => "http:"
	parser.hostname; // => "example.com"
	parser.port; // => "3000"
	parser.pathname; // => "/pathname/"
	parser.search; // => "?search=test"
	parser.hash; // => "#hash"
	parser.host; // => "example.com:3000"

	#!/usr/bin/env sh
