That might be true, but I decided to implement one practical example! It’s a range select. Like those you normally see in filebrowsers. Clicking an element and then shift clicking another will also select all elements in between. With getUntil, this is easy!

I needed to alter the getUntil code, because it acted in an awkward way. It returned elements, even if it didn’t find a match, but after fixing that, it was easy to make the range selection.

Now (thanks for reminding me Macha) I don’t actually use shift, instead I use control, the reason is that shift will also select the text since the last click. Just a minor problem, but control avoids that.

The example can be found in MooShell XuyZT. and the commit is on my fork.

Also, as an extra bonus I’m using event delegation, omg fancy. Thanks to Ryan for the inspiration

I’ve made this blog so I can write about some of the thoughts I have while I’m working with one of my favorite hobbies: programming. It’s mostly going to be about web development, but I’ll mix in a few other interesting topics when I feel like it.

It is of course very important to commute a little, therefore I post some links to relevant social networks:

• My Github Account – Fork my stuff
• Delicious – Save my bookmarks
• Twitter – Tweet my tweets

So, yeah, that was it, for now.
