In jQuery you would prevent default by taking in the event and calling preventDefault on it but this isn't jQuery. I don't think the event is passed anywhere and I'm not sure that's the problem

Whenever you add () to a function that’s already declared it calls it, if it’s an anonymous function it’s a declaration and you have to add the () to call it.

you could also do something like this:

elements[i].onclick = function() { makeHandler(i+1)};

and not have the return function in there

it’s a process called currying

@AndyCErnst

I've never really gotten my head around functions returning functions (unless they are constructors or something)

Tyler Morgan

@toastynerd

Yeah, it’s a little weird but it lets you pass a function by reference instead of calling the function.

well, I should say it lets you passs you a function with arguments by reference

Andy Ernst

@AndyCErnst

And Robert, I figured out how to grab the event http://jsfiddle.net/AfmA5/1/ I thought it was working differently than jQuery but you were right

Robert Talamantez

@Talamantez

cool

Andy Ernst

@AndyCErnst

How about this one

function addClickHandler(element) {
    element.click = function onClick(e) {
        alert("Clicked the " + element.nodeName)
    }
}

I understand how it's a circular reference with element referencing itself but I don't how how to eliminate it

Tyler Morgan

@toastynerd

it doesn’t have to be, you can get rid of that e, you’re not using it anywhere

Anna Luisa Patiño West

@aisapatino

@KuroFluff is the problem you're having that element is undefined or referencing the wrong thing within that function? i think you can also access the element through the jquery event object - something like e.target should work (so replace element.nodeName with e.target.nodeName)

Andy Ernst

@AndyCErnst

The e is not important in this one. The problem is that element.click has a ref to element.nodeName and according to the site I pulled this from that's element linking itself, which is a circular reference.

As they say, "Don't miss the forest for the Es"

Or was that trees?

Tyler Morgan

@toastynerd

@KuroFluff lol, do you have a repo up somewhere, it’s hard to know what’s going on without seeing the context.

http://t.co/Rst6WUEvhq it's from an article 10 Most Common JavaScript Mistakes, #3 example 2

Unless this guy is totally off-base?

Hmm, apparently writing "#3" links to a PR request in github

Hey everyone! Hope all is well in Node-land. I just finished up a little project this weekend that I wanted to share. It's a cocktail manager app for keeping track of my growing list of tasty adult beverages. Not currently using any MVC frameworks, just jQuery, but after cleaning everything up, my plan is to try them all out in different branches.

https://github.com/joshcanhelp/cocktail-manager

Feedback, questions, pull requests, issues, and stars are all welcome!

I also parsed out all of our homework and reading links from the class into a MD file in case anyone needs a reference. I added a few supplementary ones that I found helpful as well:

Zach Bryan

@ZBryan

That is awesome thanks for grabbing all the links! I will explore the adult beverage on tonight, nice work man

Robert Talamantez

@Talamantez

thanks Josh!

Josh Cunningham

@joshcanhelp

No prob ... hope one or both is helpful!

Robert Talamantez

@Talamantez

Hey Josh, I had to manually install jade and cookie-parser, so maybe drop those into the package.json?

the font is totally awesome btw

Josh Cunningham

@joshcanhelp

derp ... Jade is global on mine, thanks for the heads up

Robert Talamantez

@Talamantez

did i really go through 8 weeks of code school and not use jade?

Josh Cunningham

@joshcanhelp

I like it a lot. Needs much more/better docs but an interesting way to write HTML

Not everyone is a fan though

Tyler Morgan

@toastynerd

Me, I’m not a fan.

Robert Talamantez

@Talamantez

It's all I used before codefellows

Josh Cunningham

@joshcanhelp

^^ that guy :)

Robert Talamantez

@Talamantez

mostly because all the tutorials used it

Josh Cunningham

@joshcanhelp

I'll say that there were a few things where I was like "WTAF" but, for the most part, I really liked it. That combined with Sass feels like a very easy way to bang out HTML + CSS

The problem I have with jade is it makes it more difficult for anyone who’s not a node developer to work on your front end.

plus spaces have sytantic meaning and I hate that shit

Robert Talamantez

@Talamantez

I still need to take the Sass class

Also - Josh - you should pipe in google images based on the names of the drinks amirite?

Josh Cunningham

@joshcanhelp

Sass is super-easy if you know basic CSS. Just read the docs and you'll get it.

Robert Talamantez

@Talamantez

cool thanks - I'll dive into it this wek

Tyler Morgan

@toastynerd

Yeah sass is awesome, it’s really just css with variables

Hailey L. Petway

@hlpetway

Coool

Josh Cunningham

@joshcanhelp

RE: images ... might be interesting! Maybe also include an image upload option but that's later. Really just wanted to have some way to manage and organize my own, figured OSS would be a nice way to share

Robert Talamantez

@Talamantez

or even smoother "click to take picture"

on another topic, has anyone used Parse yet?

I'm probably going to be working at Hacker Coding Academy here and there and they use it
