Heinz,

I really can’t say why the rest of your code doesn’t work, especially not when I can’t see it. This function works to select elements with a certain class.

To be able to even have a chance to say what’s wrong, you need to post a URL to where I can see your code in action.

SORRY I GET THE BUTTON ELEMENTS WITH GETELEMENTS BY CLASS
USING ***VAR BUTTON=GET*** WITHOUT DOCUMENT?
THEN USE THE ADD EVENT TO ADD THE EVENT TO THE BUTTON. ONLY THING IS THAT THE GET USES OEL FOR ELEMENT? AND THE ADD USES EL?

Nice article. You may wish to know that my Total Validator Tool now supports HTML5 validation as well. It’s available as an online service like W3C, a desktop tool for use behind firewalls (and files still on your disk) and there’s a Firefox extension as well.

Anon,

Do you find the thought of dying tragic, or being afraid of dying?

April,

I’m very happy to hear that it can be of any comfort to you!

Oh my. Just reading that, and seeing that another person feel exactly the same as me so greatly quells my anxiety. One thing that makes my anxiety about this increase is the feeling that I’m the only one who feels this afraid of dying– and if that’s the case, then it must be because I’m psychic or something and I just know I’m going to die soon, maybe in a year, maybe tomorrow… oh my god!

That’s the usual thought process.

Thank you. I’m bookmarking this post for nights like these– when I Google “I’m afraid of dying.”

I think it’s all very tragic, personally.

Comment on Apple to patent CSS transformations and animations by Robert Nyman

Robert Nyman — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:33:55 +0000

Morgan,

Good points, and I agree, you can’t generally label an organization as just open, or just closed, although I would say other organizations (like Google) seem to succeed a lot better in being open (or at least how they are being perceived).

And what seems to be good business politics; one can’t argue with Apple’s success; it isn’t necessarily good for an open web and a healthier development climate, which is what gets to me and what I care about.

@Robert: With organisations as big as Apple, Microsoft, Sun, IBM, HP, etc it’s inaccurate to say that they’re either open or closed.

They have so many teams and divisions, working under very different circumstances. So, while the OS X team might get away with licensing GCD openly, the iPhoto team has different circumstances, that might prevent them from opening up their work for the audience.

This is the same in all the monoliths, some are just more successful at finding good ways of opening up their stuff and benefit from “audience participation”.

From a business perspective, I think that Apple’s approach is sheer genius. They maintain control of their core products and still reap the benefits of having a strong following of people that subscribe to the open source ideas.

If I was was running a company like Apple, I would be doing exactly the same thing … making sure that everything that was not the core of the business would be open sourced … primarily for making sure that it improved over time, but also to be used as a marketing ploy to make the audience like my company.

Like it or not, the most profitable businesses these years work with a mixture of open and closed source / ideas / protocols / whatever.
