Update I completely re-wrote the test suite. You can check a live example here where results are compared with Sizzle selector engine against the common W3C page. After this Ajaxian post and some opinion exchange in its comments, I decided to extract the css2xpath function I used inside experiments in vice-versa project , creating a separated project specific for this purpose that some how could be interesting or useful. Bugs, problems, questions, and helps are more than welcome, so far I focused my attention to SlickSpeed test selectors and nothing else but at least for that it seems to be stable and reliable.

A quick one about how things are not that different whatever country you live ... in a page created to inform and to help to prevent this new killer flu, the NHS symptoms checker link brings to a Service Unavailable page. I wonder if countries organizations will never be ready for whatever emergency we have. Hoping people will be able to obtain more info directly from directgov website, we can do 3 things so far: CATCH IT (using tissues to sneeze or cough in), BIN IT (we don't want to travel that far with our dity tissue, do we?), KILL IT (this one is quite difficult to explain and I guess they did not choose "the proper verb" for the last action ... seriously!)

Apparently, using this strategy I can obtain a flat line in Drip monitor: // function used to remove a node, every attached // attribute and every nested node via the same procedure var destroy = (function(destroy){ // WebReflection IE leaks attemp! function $destroy(node){ while(node.lastChild) destroy(node.lastChild); if(node.parentNode) node.parentNode.removeChild(node); }; return destroy = destroy.clearAttributes ? function(node){ if(node.clearAttributes) // Hedger suggestion node.clearAttributes(); $destroy(node); } : $destroy ; })(document.createElement("script")); // used to remove everything function destroyAll(){ destroy(document.documentElement); }; // used to avoid leaks when the page is refreshed // or the url is changed if(this.attachEvent) attachEvent("onunload", destroyAll); reasonable performances and apparently a relia...

I am putting some effort to make vice-versa project a good, production ready, alternative against common libraries, and since these days I am working hard with XML, XSL(T), and XPath I decided to try an experiment implementing CSS to XPath translator for FireFox 3.0 With version 3.1 we will have querySelector and querySelectorAll but version 3.0 is still the most used one, FireFox speaking! The nightly build of vice-versa introduces a new file, mainly used for personal experiments via vice-versa library and the first experiment is an improved document.query for those browsers with document.evaluate support without document.querySelectorAll . Unfortunately Internet Explorer SlickSpeed Selector Speed Test comparing latest version of each library such Dojo , DOMAssistant , Sizzle (congrats for the new site!), Sly , and finally vice-versa project. Here the summary, from faster to slower: vice-versa 760ms Dojo 1.3.1 868ms (2 tests failed) DOMAssistant 880ms (good stuff Robert!)...

A few things... In the first week of May our recordings will be mastered for LP format, as soon as that is done we will send it off to the pressing plant and hopefully will have them in a month after that or so. I have now made a little section to your right where you can see all of the upcoming shows we have. Newest addition being May 30th in Philly with VILE GASH, SALVATION and others. We are way excited to head out to Philly to play with such awesome bands. While I'm on the topic do yourselves a favor and order yourself a copy of the new SALVATION LP before they sell out, a fucking terrific record. Order it here www.ihateyouthattack.com Also, please give our friends in GAZA STRIPTEASE a listen if you are into spacey stuff like MBV, Slowdive, etc...

I wrote a truly big post about this subject ... but it was nervous and not that technical as well. I decided then to simply post this image, hosted in Pam webOS Project page: Think about the right box, it should be the state of the current Web 2.0 Era ... now think who is in charge to maintain the layer between your server application, and the customer ... I am quite sure 90% of cases will be a Web Designer, rather than a Senior skilled JavaScript Developer ... now wonder why if you ask for JavaScript skills plus Photoshop, you will rarely being able to make right profits from your business. JavaScript is not a toy, and "web speaking", is one of the most important programming language your team should know, it's time to stop to underestimate it.

Here is the new LP we are putting out soon http://www.sendspace.com/file/ncx5da 1. Hated 2. Ailment 3. The Man 4. Sketchy Pussy Preview this joint and enjoy!
