A simple java line allows to do that :

[java] (Class) ((ParameterizedType) getClass().getGenericSuperclass()).getActualTypeArguments()[0]; 

Davs Rants is playing with the last YUI version (2.3.0) and he proposes sources code and demos on his blog.
Examples are interesting because they can fit to real web developer needs. Lets have a look…

In order to be more complete on javascript framework on my blog, I decided to open a new category on my blog about YUI.
This framework is as interresting as Dojo one because it contains a lot of functionnalities and it also has a WicketStuff project : Wicketstuff-yui.

More news on future post…

Dojo out of the box is not really efficient, there are some optimization to do before putting it in production :

• Build it (Dojo Doc)
  • On command line as explain in Dojo Doc
  • With an Eclipse Plugin
  • With an
• Optimize your Dojo Application as describe in the Dojo Book

You can also read this very interesting article from Eugene Lazutkin about Dojo Application Optimization.

The first new WicketStuffDojo release is out. It is named 1.3.0-beta in order to follow wicket version number while it is still possible. WicketStuffDojo-1.3.0-beta depends on wicket-1.3.0-beta2. You can find it on wicketstuff public repo.

You can now use a release . Let us know if you find some bugs (http://wicketstuff.org/jira/browse/DOJO)

Have good fun with it.

Handling keyboard events is a real nightmare. If you want connect some keyboard events, this page can be usefull : http://unixpapa.com/js/key.html.
Moreover, you need to know Internet Explorer and firefox do no handle event on the same way:
firefox

[javascript] myDomNode.onkeypress = function(event) { alert(event.keyCode)} 

ie

[javascript] myDomNode.onkeypress = function() { alert(window.event.keyCode)} 

Actually IE propage key event on window.



So to deal with that mess you need to do

[javascript] myDomNode.onkeypress = function(event) {if (!event){event = window.event;} alert(event.keyCode);} 

If you want to make cross-browser applications, you need to know that : IE7 as IE6 does not support css2. Actually some css2 attributes are supported but just a very little set.
To avoid any anoyance, just read css2 specification and do not use CSS2 properties (such as inherit).

Imagine you want (with javascript of course) giving an argument to a timeout method(it is the same for event connector)
ie

[javascript] function aFunction(aVariable){   window.setTimeout(myFunction(){alert(aVariable)}, 500); } 

This will not work because the function executed on timeOut can not have access to aVariable. So there are to way to deal with that
first : You can use an eval BUT this will throw some exception in our dear IE :

[javascript] function aFunction(aVariable){    window.setTimeout(eval("myFunction(){alert('" + aVariable + "')}", 500); } 

Second, the better You can use a function returning a function :

[javascript] function aFunction(aVariable){    window.setTimeout(getOnTimeOut(aVariable), 500); } function getOnTimeOut(aVariable){    return function(){   // no  params       alert(aVariable);    } }
