Creating objects in javascript

http://javascriptkit.com/javatutors/object.shtml

This will help in understanding the main concept of prototype chaining in Java-Script.
This also explains the need to maintaining the correct order while writing the code.

Prototype chaining helps in implementing concept of inheritance in javascript code.
This web site explains this with the help of circle and sphere example. It explains that how circle class method and properties can be used in sphere class.

function mySphere(x,y,z,r){
// DO SOME THING
}

mySphere.prototype = new circle();

Creating a custom object in JavaScript

http://javascriptkit.com/javatutors/object.shtml

This include three steps:
1. creating custom object function
2. adding properties
3. adding methods



Go through the tutorial and you will understand the crux.

Ajax with jQuery

http://www.dreamdealer.nl/?action=viewTutorial&id=67

Using ajax with jQuery is simple.
I see multiple methods on web. some call like
$.ajax({
type: "POST|GET",
dataType: "json|xml|....",
url: "index.php||.....",
data: param{i guess name value pairs but i am not sure},
success: function(data){
if(data.status==0){
// take action... In general programming practice,
// trueSuccess will be a function which will be called with data as argument.
// In this case, trueSuccess is an event which will be triggered ....
// This event is having some data as argument...
$("#"+listener).trigger('trueSuccess',[data]);
}else{
$("#"+listener).trigger('trueError',[data]);
}
},
error: function(){
data='An Unexpected error has occured. Please try again later.';
$("#"+listener).trigger('unexpectedError',[data]);
}
})


Ajax another way:

$.get("giveMeSomething.php", { number1: number1, number2: number2 },
function(data){
alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
});

Jquery: Random notes....

$ itself is an alias for the jQuery "class", therefore $() constructs a new jQuery object.

find() function allows you to research the descendants of already selected elements.
each iterates over all the elements applied to selected class or ID and do the further processing.

$() aka jQuery(), is basically an implementation of the Factory
Pattern, in which one object is responsible for the creation of other
objects. Of course, it also follows the Prototype pattern; given that
JS is a prototypal language and that the $()/jQuery() function extends
itself into the new object that is created.

More generally, the term factory method is often used to refer to any method whose main purpose is creation of objects. Factory methods are common in toolkits and frameworks where library code needs to create objects of types which may be subclassed by applications using the framework.

$('#faq').find('dd').hide().end().find('dt').click(function()
Here end will cancel the first find and second find will start from scratch.

jQuery.fn is a shortcut for jQuery.prototype
function($) {

} .. here $ refers to jQuery object...

http://simonwillison.net/2007/Aug/15/jquery/

Difference between
$().bind('click',fn) and $().click(fn)
Two difference:
bind can attach multiple function event to function name in a single statement.
something like this: $("(DIV ID)").bind("mouseout focus", function(){

});

Bind can also attach the custom events with any UI element.

exec you don't want to return to the calling perl script
backticks you want to capture the output of the command

Setting up system variables:

For bash shell:
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/java/classes:/home/tchin/myclasses

For tcsh or csh:
set CLASSPATH = ($CLASSPATH /java/classes /home/tchin/myclasses)

I always get confused about these two shells
echo $SHELL will tell the shell on which we are working

Also concept is this:
These are 2 forms of setting up the enviornment variable settings.

sh and ksh:
--------
TERM=sun
export TERM
these 2 command set any environment variable here.

csh:
----
in c shell setenv accomplish the task of those 2 commands alone.
so it depends on your shell, which shell u are using u have to use one of these commands.
