Using jQuery’s .pushStack() for reusable DOM traversing methods

The pushStack() method has been in jQuery since before version 10 but it hasn’t received a whole lot of attention outside of core developers and plugin authors While its usefulness may not be immediately apparent it can come in really handy in some situations so I’d like to take a quick look at what it does how it works and how we can use it

pushStack Basics

Using jQuery’s Data APIs

In the beginning (well beginning with jQuery 123 in early 2008) there was the jQuerydata() API It offers a way to associate JavaScript data — strings numbers or any object — with a DOM element As long as you manipulate the DOM element with jQuery the library ensures that when the DOM element goes away the associated data goes away as well This is especially important for older versions of IE that tend to leak memory when JavaScript data is mixed with DOM data

A proposal to drop browser vendor prefixes

Interesting idea by Felipe G on using a new at-rule @-vendor-unlock to tell the browser to use it’s experimental implementation of any particular property rather than using a vendor prefix on that property Unfortunately at this point even if you could get all the browsers on board you’d need to use this and vendor prefixes to get deep support which makes the problem worse What we really need is for all browsers to implement auto-updating so eventually “supporting older browsers” is something we can look back and laugh at

Custom Getters and Setters with MooTools

Working with Dojo all day and scoping out MooTools at night gives me a unique perspective; I get to constantly evaluate the two frameworks and mentally move functionalities from framework to framework One small but handy feature within the Dojo Toolkit’s Dijit UI Framework is its set/get system Dijit allows developers to add custom methods tied into simple get and set methods to allow manipulation properties into and on the way out of a class I took a few moments to implement this system in MooTools The idea is that…..
