There are many instances in web development where we have the technology to do something - but we willingly chose not to do it. Context Menus in a web page is one such technology. Implementing a context menu(also known as the right click menu) is relatively simple - but very few apps use it. This is because the users don't expect a right click menu. At least, not yet. I want to re-evaluate our stand on this issue - I want to ask the question - "Are we ready for the Context Menu in Web Apps?"

GreaseMonkey Script to Speedup Ajaxian.com

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0800

Ajaxian is a very important site for javascript programmers. Unfortunately, it is very slow in my system. The problem is caused by the small fixed background.

For the last few weeks I have been working on a new JavaScript Library. Its still not ready(I have to write some more test) for publishing - so I thought that I will create a small preview for it. My library is heavily influenced by jQuery. All the good features belong to jQuery - all the bugs belong to me.
