[jQuery] jQuery docs / Visual jQuery
Hi John and Yehuda and the rest of the list,
John mentioned the preview update to Visual jQuery in the blog. It's
great to see the new visual jQuery in action.
The categories make it much more browsable. Though, some categories need
some changes. The categories 'jQuery', 'Javascript' and 'Core' seem to
be somewhat redundant.
Two 'add' methods, currently filed under 'jQuery', should be moved to
DOM/Traversing, just where the third 'add' already is.
Both 'jquery' and 'length' are marked as methods instead of attributes,
this is somewhat misleading. There may be more attributes marked as
methods I didn't find.
The docs for each(fn) don't mention the iteration index that is passed
as a argument.
Is the shortcut $(function) for $(document).ready(function) mentioned
anywhere?
When selecting DOM/Traversing and switching between some other
categories, the load to my CPU (AMD ~3000+) is quite heavy, up to 100%.
This could pose a problem for some users. Maybe a more static,
serverside pre-rendered version could improve the overall performance.
Apart from those small problems, I'd love some kind of filter mechanism:
For example, I type 'each' into some textfield, all categories except
'Core' and 'Javascript' are removed, both containing only the entries
that match my filter, in this case, 'jQuery.each(obj, fn)' and 'each(fn)'.
Would be very useful to find all methods concerning a single event like
'click'.
Another idea: Filed under DOM/Attributes and CSS are a lot of
getter/setter pairs. Icons marking setters and getters could be quite
helpful to identify those faster.
