There’s a few methods used for traversing the DOM-tree in jQuery that is confusingly similar, well at least they were for me. This article will explain the difference between them and when you should use which one.

A few month ago I posted about a demo where I used content marked up with Microformats to populate a Google map using Javascript. Well, now I’ve improved that demo somewhat.
In part 1 I showed how to use and optimize performance on polylines in Google Maps using Javascript. In this article I will show you how to get even better performance by encoding the polylines on the server.
Normally when you initialize a new Google map you set the coordinates for the center of the map and manually specifies the initial zoom level. Sometimes, however, there’s a need to dynamically calculate the center point and zoom level for certain content to fit into the viewport.
Polylines are used to mark out roads, borders and other things that are made of lines in maps. The Google Maps API offers a class for drawing these lines on a Google Map called GPolyline. In this article I will show you how to use these and how to deal with potential performance issues when the polylines gets more complex.
In the AJAX community, JSON have become the preferred way of sending and receiving data. That’s not surprising since it’s lightweight, fast and easy to understand. Also, since it’s a subset of Javascript, it’s familiar territory for Javascript coders.
In the ASP.NET MVC Framework, passing JSON from the server to the client script is almost too easy. In this article I will walk you through the code required to make it work.
I’ve had a little trouble finding out how to use User Controls in the ASP.NET MVC Framework and how to pass data to it. I haven’t been able to find a single article that clearly explains how to do this, so I thought I’ll do a little write up on the topic.
jQuery is going to be a part of Visual Studio. This is a great, and I must say, an unexpected development of things.
For me personally, who’s already using jQuery along with ASP.NET, the main difference will be the intellisense annotation support for jQuery. This will be a welcomed enhancement of my development environment. Needless to say the asp.net team at Microsoft will also build ready-to-use controls in the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit that builds upon jQuery.
According to Scott Guthrie there will be a free download with the jQuery Intellisense support in a few weeks. The ASP.NET MVC download will also contain it and the jQuery library.
Read more about it on Scott Guthrie’s blog and in John Reisig’s blog post on jQuery.com.
I’ve started working with the Javascript framework jQuery lately and I must say that I find it very enjoyable! I have previously mostly used Prototype and DOMAssistant, and although they excel in some areas I somehow find jQuery more fun to code with.
Here’s a simple tip on how to loop through elements with jQuery that I thought I’d share.
To my delight I noticed that during my vacation the ASP.NET MVC Preview Release 4 have been released. This is nice since I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this framework for a project I’m currently working on.
The MVC framework certainly solves a lot of the issues I have with ASP.NET and actually makes it possible to create standard compliant websites without having to bend over backwards with all the awkward quirks of the ASP.NET Web Forms model.
