JavaScript: Firefox Nightly introduces DOM Joystick Events
Late last week, excitement buzzed here at Bocoup, when David Humphrey of Mozilla dropped us a line with links to a Firefox nightly build that had added rudimentary support for a set of DOM Joystick events. Several hours later we, along with Jason Orendorff and TedMielczarek of Mozilla, put together a couple of prototype experiments […]

JavaScript: EventSource is Long Polling
UPDATE: With some serious modification to the server end point, Luke Morton was able to achieve a single open event that fires message events as responses are received via a “push” from the server: https://gist.github.com/1002722. By modifying the original example’s PHP end point, Luke’s approach was to omit the closing PHP tag (ensures that no […]

JavaScript: Firefox/Aurora 6 and EventSource API
I originally wrote this as a comment on Mozilla’s “Aurora 6 Is Here” article – but I’m impatient and couldn’t wait for the comment to be moderated. Also, I haven’t posted in a while and figured Bob the Rooster would appreciate it. Glad to see support for the EventSource API has made it to Firefox. […]

Using dataTransfer and other HTML5 event properties with jQuery Events

This past weekend, I made a handy utility for converting files to data URLs. This utility is part of a larger tool that we are developing for a client. I […]

JavaScript: EventSource Support Updated in Opera 10.70
The Official Opera Blog has announced that Opera 10.70 will feature a reimplementation of the EventSource API. I say “reimplementation” because Opera was actually the first modern browser to add support for Server Sent Events back in 2006. The implementation was awkward and required a DOM element. Last week, Opera Core Concerns posted an update […]

JavaScript: Creating an EventSource within a Worker
After spending the day finishing out cross-browser EventSource support in the form of jQuery.EventSource.js, then wrapping up with a commit of 55 new unit tests, I finally left the Bocoup Loft for the day around 8 o’clock… But as most developers know, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t leave this kind of […]

JavaScript: YakYakFace.com uses jQuery.EventSource
For those of you curious about what can be created or where to use the new JavaScript EventSource API (also known as “Server Sent Events” ) – I’ve developed a very basic chat application that uses jQuery.EventSource.js to provide a simple API to native EventSource where available (and a fallback when not) and Twitter @anywhere […]

Chrome 6: Server Push Events with new EventSource()
This is mighty awesome. I’ve put together some test demos, to run them you’ll first need to get this Chromium build: 47357 WIN32 47357 MAC 47357 32-Bit Linux 47357 32-Bit Linux Then download these: https://gist.github.com/415116 client.html <script src=”event-source.js”></script>; event-source.js document.addEventListener(‘DOMContentLoaded’, function () { var eventSrc = new EventSource(‘events.php’); eventSrc.addEventListener(‘open’, function (event) { console.log(event.type); }); eventSrc.addEventListener(‘message’, […]

Publish/Subscribe with jQuery Custom Events
The Publish Subscribe or pub/sub pattern is used to logically decouple object(s) that generate an event, and object(s) that act on it. It is a useful pattern for object oriented development in general and especially useful when developing asynchronous Javascript applications. This post explores its implementation in jQuery. The Dojo javascript framework provides an explicit […]
