Drupal 7 will ship with jQuery 1.4.2 and jQuery UI 1.8, which will make it even easier to build rich user interactions with Drupal. Drupal supports aggregating javascript files to reduce the number of network connections a browser must open to load a page. It is common practice for Drupal themes to put the <script> tag in the <head> section of the page.Book Review: Drupal 6 JavaScript and jQueryhttps://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2009/11/30/drupal-6-javascript-and-jquery/Mon, 30 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0000https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2009/11/30/drupal-6-javascript-and-jquery/I have just finished reading Matt Butcher’s latest book, Drupal 6 JavaScript and jQuery, published by Packt Publishing - ISBN 978-1-847196-16-3. It is a good read. It is one of those books that arrived at the right time and left me inspired. I have always leaned towards Yahoo’s YUI toolkit when I need an Ajax framework, while the rest of the time I just bash out a bit of JS to get the job done.Drupal Book Reviewhttps://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2009/10/12/drupal-book-review/Mon, 12 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0000https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2009/10/12/drupal-book-review/I am not reviewing a book today, but I soon will be. Packt Publishing have asked me to review Matt Butcher’s new book Drupal 6 JavaScript and jQuery. The book looks pretty interesting. Although it isn’t on the same scale, being asked to review a serious Drupal developer book, is a bit like Obama winning the noble peace prize - ok maybe I am exaggerating a little there. I really like YUI, but Drupal has made me interested in jQuery.Classic Javascript Gameshttps://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2008/05/23/classic-javascript-games/Fri, 23 May 2008 00:00:00 +0000https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2008/05/23/classic-javascript-games/A post today on Ajaxian about a javascript based version of Super Mario Kart, reminded me of some of the other great classic games ported to javascript. Below is a quick list based on my bookmarks and other stuff kicking around on my laptop. Lemmings (my favourite) Tetris Frogger (forgive their use of Comic Sans) Donkey Kong PacMan (the graphics aren’t true to the original, but the game play is) Super Mario I wish you luck getting away with slacking off in the office while playing these at work.
