Prereq:

apt-get install zsh
apt-get install git-core

Getting zsh to work in ubuntu is weird, since sh does not understand the source command. So, you do this to install zsh

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

	// A short snippet for detecting versions of IE in JavaScript
	// without resorting to user-agent sniffing
	// ----------------------------------------------------------
	// If you're not in IE (or IE version is less than 5) then:
	// ie === undefined
	// If you're in IE (>=5) then you can determine which version:
	// ie === 7; // IE7
	// Thus, to detect IE:
	// if (ie) {}
