jQuery Forum

Size reduction is one part of the equation - simplicity is another. If
you can find an idiom that does either, or hopefully both, without
using code evaluation (eval or new Function) then I think it'll be
strongly considered.

should I open tickets? or post ideas here?
I think responses and discussion is a bit more timely in this forum,
though not necessarily a good thing.

Probably start with discussion, posting a couple proposals.

Okay, any opinions about this macro and touch up for the "mouseenter"
and "mouseleave" special events? (408 bytes minified)
http://codepad.org/nnjxVV8H
here is the original code for reference ( 859 bytes minified ):

Yep - that's perfect stuff. Patch it and file it!

Ad this one for some of the animation functions (slide/fade) ?
http://codepad.org/JyU3kWkt (251 bytes minified)
replaces:

Yes, as well! I've actually been wanting to make some tweaks to the
animation code and this will work just fine.

the patch I added to this ticket for improving outerHeight and
outerWidth should also save about (100 bytes minified)

I actually used the same logic on Listen for focus(in/out). It then
made its way into Delegate as well.
I like it, I don't actually understand why does it expose the handler
instead of just keeping it private. The only valid explanation is "so
it can be overriden". But I don't think it's likely to happen.

Sorry, I didn't spot the links to the tickets you created. I thought
there were none so I created 2 as well.
I closed yours as duplicate as the other ones had commit-ready patches
on them.
Cheers

Ariel,
Here is another version for mouseenter and mouseleave which expands
further on your changes... It makes the withinElement function the
actual handler, which is shared by both events.
about 422 bytes minified:
http://codepad.org/umk28Ihx
replaces 952 bytes of minified code:
http://codepad.org/DSUFAlJR
As far as calculating file size... I also used dean edwards packer,
but not the variable compression option, because my understanding of
gzipping is that it recognizes patterns in the code agnostic of
structure, so things like "jQuery" and "jQuery.event" are going to get
compressed as they are used multiple times. Using an alias variable
for "jQuery" in the core would save loads of bytes in the short term
and in packing, but I assume not fair as well in gzipping... hence,
"packed" code does not compress as well as "minified" code.
And as for making the handler exposed or not, makes no difference to
me, I was just trying to be consistent with the way these functions
were originally written.
