So, Whats the Site for?

First of all it's an intermediate Web Developer resource. Secondly I'm using it to plug my work and other projects/sites hoping to increase my hit rate. Like you do :-)

I'm planning to update this site on a regular basis but if previous experience is anything to go by as soon as I start one of my own projects I get really busy at work or helping friends with their web sites. Even so you should find new stuff on each visit. I hope that you fine something useful on the site.

Cheers to everyone who's visited this site. I've all of a sudden been getting quite a few hits and think it's time I added more bits and tweaked some of the code.

I'm quit busy at the moment so will do what I can when I can. If any of you would like to contact me or correct any sub-standard code on my site you can contact me, Mike Dobson, here miked@newmediaplugin.co.uk


Yes, I know I've spelt the word Squeak wrong. I made a typo when registering the domain name, oops!

What on earth is the SqueekMachine I hear you ask. Well, is my player name from the game Unreal Tournament.

I wanted a silly name. Wibble came first, then Squeek formally known as wibble (wouldn't fit so shortened it to Squeek_wibble). Finally I settled for SqueekMachine named after the little moor hen chicks I hear on the pond behind work while having a cigarette break which walk around constantly squeaking. The hens squeak, not me.

JavaScript Pocket Reference
David Flanagan

DESCRIPTION
At 4.5 by 7 inches in size and only 89 pages long, the aptly named JavaScript Pocket Reference will really almost fit in your pocket. Use this guide as a companion to turn to when in doubt about that function syntax or on drawing a blank on the JavaScript object model.

The book concisely packs together the syntax of the scripting language, including summaries of expression and statement style. The real meat of the tiny title is an alphabetical listing of JavaScript objects, along with their associated methods, properties and events. One nice feature of this section is the attention to the varying support between Microsoft and Netscape browser versions. However, this listing is useful only if you know what object you want to work with. Missing from the reference is a solutions-based reference to let you refresh your memory about how to do a particular task, such as validate a form field or roll over a graphic when the user moves the mouse.

One drawback is the book's illustration of the object model--done only in a small diagram. This is a bit of a shame since this is one of the key topics most developers need help with. If you are rather familiar with JavaScript, this pocket reference will be helpful. New coders, however, will likely find it insufficient. --Stephen W. Plain
