Currently we use jQuery to add RIA goodness to our apps, but recently we have been implementing the Coveo Search engine into our Sharepoint portal and found that ScriptSharp was used in their product. What can ScriptSharp bring to the table? I am using ScriptSharp as we speak, having discovered it about 2-3 weeks ago. Honestly, I love it. Native Javascript is a challenge, and the DOM model makes client-side programming even worse. Then I discovered jQuery about six months ago, and I thought it was a godsend. jQuery increased my productivity, but I still get bogged down often with jQuery

Ok, I'm doing a bunch of RIA/AJAX stuff and need to create a "pretty", custom confirm box which is a DIV (not the built-in javascript confirm). I'm having trouble determining how to accomplish a pause in execution to give the user a chance to accept or decline the condition before either resuming or halting execution. (depending upon their answer) So here's the general flow of logic I'm dealing with: User selects an item from dropdown and clicks button. In client-side javascript eventhandler for button, I need to check a (this is the key) SERIES of conditions for the item they chose in

I understand that jsonp is a technique to get around the same origin policy. You basically refer to your json serving server endpoint in a script tag, because script tags are exempt from the SO policy. My question is: Assuming a server has an endpoint that serves up json, are there any modifications necessary on the server to make use of jsonp in the client? I think no, but want to be sure.... Yes, JSONP is slightly different when it renders, so your server needs to support it. JSON looks like this: { "name": "value" } Whereas JSONP looks like this: functionName({ "name": "value" }); If

We're building a web-based application that requires heavy image processing. We'd like this processing load to be on the client as much as possible and we'd like to support as much platforms (even mobiles) as much as possible. Yeah, I know, wishful thinking Here's the info: Image processing is rasterization from some data. Think like creating a PNG image from a PDF file. We don't have a lot of server power. So client-side processing is a bit of a must. So, we're considering: Flash - most widespread, but from what i read has lackluster development tools. (and no iPhone/iPad support for now).
