(Aside, api, gmail, google, greasemonkey, javascript, lifehack, productivity, rtm) “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people say they wouldn’t use Ruby because it lacks automated refactoring tools. Ruby doesn’t actually need them in the way Java does; it’s like refusing to switch to an electric car because there’s no place to put the gasoline.” - Steve Yegge on the NBL
Phil finally convinced me that I wasn’t going to get the Firefox team to break the DOM standard in the name of elegant code, so I’ve gone ahead and added the two line Javascript fix for the comment refreshing effect. Let me know if you see more problems. (after you’ve done a force reload to make sure you have the latest typo.js)
Comments should now properly refresh on Firefox 1.5rc2 (also fixed for any other browser that was deciding that $('commentList').lastChild means the smattering of whitespace between a closing </li> and the closing </ol>)
Also turned off the html filtering for comments which was acting as a “make ugly” flag. (BlueCloth seems to be finicky and difficult compared to Markdown implementations I’ve used before, and RedCloth claims to do Markdown, but didn’t when I tested it)
Does this technique open up the possibility of “smart” entries with rich Javascript controls in your aggregator? (and the concurrent security problems?)
