- Where did all my code go? Using Ojay chains to express yourself clearly
I’ve been putting together a presentation to be given internally at work on what Ojay is and why we’re doing it. It occurred to me that I’ve not spoken very much about it here, hoping the documentation and examples would speak for themselves. So, today I’m going to go through how to take an animation [...]
- Ojay 0.2.0: easy keyboarding, a validation DSL, and two new UI widgets

<div id=”myAutoComplete”>

I’ve been writing some code examples for some of the UI components I’m writing for Ojay, and I need to display the implementation code and stylesheet on the page. Pretty standard fare: here’s a UI example, and here’s the code you need to implement it. Easy.
Trouble is, I don’t want to duplicate the code (once [...] - Announcing Ojay, the nice way to use YUI
I’ve been wanting to talk about this project for weeks if not months, and now I finally can. the OTHER media (the web shop I work for) is open-sourcing Ojay, a project I’ve been developing on-and-off since I started at the company back in October. It’s a wrapper for the core DOM, event, animation and [...]
