    Unless I’m missing something isn’t this “Secret” tutorial just a year old premium tut?

  • Marlou

    Oh, glad you guys started a newsletter too! Going to sign up right after this message.
    It’s a shame your sidebar is getting so crowded though, I probably wouldn’t have spotted the sign-up form if it wasn’t for this post.

    Great news.
    And the same what Marlou says… I didn’t saw the sign-up form in the sidebar.

    I swear I’ve seen this tutorial (or part of it) somewhere before. No, actually I know I have, I just can’t remember where. Does anybody know where I might’ve seen it, this is killing me….

  • Brada

    So my question is, instead of testing for three different methods based on the browser capability, why not always use dom level 0 which is cross platform, and generate your own que method isn’t of relying on their build in methods? Proof of concept listed below.
    var myCount = [];
    xObject.addEvent = function(obj, evt, fn) {
    var index;
    var hash = “e_” + obj.id + “_” + evt;
    if(!myCount[hash]) {
    myCount[hash] = [];
    index = 0;
    } else {
    index = myCount[hash].length;
    }
    myCount[hash][index] = fn;
    obj["on" + evt] = function() {
    var el = myCount[hash];
    var len = el.length;
    for(var i = 0;i<len;i++) {
    el[i]();
    }
    };
    return this;
    };

      I love how they give us a way to post code on their blog using a “pre” tag, but at the same time don’t actually format it in any way.

      seems to be working for me

      var myCount = [];
xObject.addEvent = function(obj, evt, fn) {
var index;
var hash = “e_” + obj.id + “_” + evt;
if(!myCount[hash]) {
myCount[hash] = [];
index = 0;
} else {
index = myCount[hash].length;
}
myCount[hash][index] = fn;
obj["on" + evt] = function() {
var el = myCount[hash];
var len = el.length;
for(var i = 0;i

    Will definitely subscribe if there’s little freebies like this on the go. Thanks!

  • http://newarts.at Drazen Mokic

    Signed up but unsubscribed 2 minutes after, i really don`t want to download tutorials, feel like 1998 to me ;/

    • http://www.jeffrey-way.com Jeffrey Way

      It’s just a way to distribute a tutorial. The point is to sign up for the newsletter, and easily stay up to date on what’s new on Nettuts+.

      • http://newarts.at Drazen Mokic

        Yes i get the point but i think sending the tutorial as a PDF as an attachment would be more comfortable.

        Since almost everyone has some native PDF reader installed, you just would need to click on “Preview”, read the tutorial and simply close it after you finish.

        Know we have to click “save it”, choose a location, open location, open .html file, read it, close it and let it there or delete it. ;P

        Anyway, nice tut!
