Fade an Element

This code allows you to set the "opcity" style attribute on a element without affecting it's content.

Just call the function for a specific element or to all elements of a given classname after the document loads.

Examples and advanced usage here...

These are some prototype methods to handle class names in html elements. As you all should know, a html element can have more than one class name.

This is part of my dom handling toolkit. Check it out and use it at will.

A simple, yet powerful (what a cliché) way of resgistering javascript keyboard shortcuts. Register any kind of keyboard shortcuts, and if applicable, override the browser default action.

Example usage and more info here:

Javascript Keyboard Shortcut Manager

Given a PHP array (even a deep nested array), returns a string representation of that array as JavaScript array. Useful when using PHP to output JavaScript.

This is a simple script to provide basic cross-platform XML request functionality in Javascript. It's meant to be the core component in any AJAX style framework. It is not an instantiable object, but instead is a namespaced microlibrary.

Calling is easy:
XMLRequest.GET(uri, query, callback, fallback)
uri: The location you're after
query: an associative array of form data to provide via the URL
callback: callback function of the form myCallbackFunction(objXMLHttpRequest), which is called upon successful (response = 200 OK) retrieval of the XML data
fallback: myFallbackFunction(objXMLHttpRequest), which is called upon failed (response != 200 OK) retrieval of the XML data.

XMLRequest.POST(uri, query, form, callback, fallback)
Similar, but does the query using the POST method. 'query' is the URL-appended data, still in associative array form, and 'form' is the same for the POST data.

This is a brief revision to my previous snippet. It is still what it was: a small, simple system for using XMLHttpRequest without using globals.

I'll put the API spec in the code this time, so as not to clutter the front page further.

Changes:

Changed name to HTTPRequest (far more accurate)
Added HEAD requests
Shortened code by making a GenericRequest function
Used a better method for getting an XMLHttpRequest object (checks multiple MS versions and implements the latest one)

Flexible sorting algorithm based on Quicksort with extra functionality, such as:
- Direction (ie: ascending or descending)
- Sort-by-path (eg: item.name, item.name.firstName or item[5])
- Sorting function (returns true if two items are already sorted)
- Type checking
- All constants and support functions are members of the Sort() function
- Testsuite with hooks for cscript and in-browser javascript, so you can tweak and optimize, and make sure it still works
- Environment agnostic (can use with, say, SpiderMonkey or .Net's jsc)

libNog is a 9k library to provide somewhat easier browser-independence. It is not yet complete, and will be continuously revised. It grew from this snippet, and is still growing as I find things I use often.
Presently, libNog features:

A way to browser-independently get an XMLHttpRequest object.
A set of simple methods for GET, POST, HEAD, and to include other Scripts.
Simple methods for className control
A completely abstracted form of getElement*
Browser-independent methods for attaching and detaching event handlers
An event-normalization routine
A simple one-command 'Stop the Event' routine
And the big one: A simplified Class object by which classes can be built in JavaScript.

The above link will point you to the API documentation and history of libNog, as well as where to download the library.
