   If I'm understanding you correctly, TestSwarm handles this, actually. If you watch the video walkthrough you can see the tests being split apart and run against multiple browsers simultaneously. Not only does this allow the results to compl

   If you're doing that then you might as well use Selenium Grid: http://selenium-grid.seleniumhq.org/ Granted it doesn't have the nice continuous integration view or the error correction that Test Swarm has but everything else is there.

   I've thought about it, but it just seems too tricky. Businesses want guarantees of security and privacy that a "wild west" cloud like TestSwarm.com can't provide. Instead, I just opted to release all the software as open source. If a corpor

   I just remembered that I had a full list of those whose work I used as inspiration on the original jquery.com site (including Simon Willison, Dean Edwards, and the Behaviour library). http://web.archive.org/web/20060203025710/http://jquery

   Absolutely. The jQuery test suite still uses the original markup from your script's test suite. I wrote my selector implementation at about the same time that Dean Edwards wrote his (but he published first). You were the absolute first, tho

   The way I figure it the "worst case" is that his account(s) were hacked and that he brings everything back online. In that case he now has a letter, from me, letting him know how much I appreciate him and his work. Frankly, I'm long overdue

    Crockford doesn't work on YUI - but he does work at Yahoo. I will fully concede that he may know more about ECMAScript than me - but I will happily challenge him on JavaScript + DOM any day :-) Quite seriously though, since jQuery and YUI c

    I don't really understand what you're upset about - you don't like how they look and you're worried that they're a hack? Are you familiar with the current situation of processing in JavaScript? It involves running chunks of code, split up u

    That can't work because the individual methods may contain a closure to a non-threadable object (like the DOM). The reason why all of the logic is forced into in an external script is to prevent contention from occurring - your proposed sol

    Actually, jQuery has had support for having multiple versions of jQuery working, simultaneously, on the same page since August 2007: http://blog.jquery.com/2007/08/24/jquery-114-faster-more-tes... We introduced this functionality back the

    I agree with your perception - most of the modern browsers are just fine at this point. I've been skeptical of Peacekeeper, though - the tests may be fine but it's hard to tell since they haven't released the source of them, at all. I'm not

    I did in my examples: document.getNodes( Node.ELEMENT_NODE, Node.COMMENT_NODE, Node.TEXT_NODE ); Although, that's still in keeping with using integers to keep track of the results. I'd much prefer something like: document.get

    It's important to realize that once an object or property is "locked" (e.g. prevent extensibility on an object - most likely by being sealed or frozen) it cannot be "unlocked" - it's that way for as long as the object exists. This is done i
