#49812: I don't know if it's an error or not, but my kindle edition version doesn't have page numbers (or the ability to move to a particular page).

#51098: This is not an error that comes from the book. I think it's more of a problem that comes from integrating different programs which uncover problems in programming languages.
Chapter: Exploring When There is No User Interface.
I have never written JavaScript before so I decided to give it a go. I use Komodo and open the HTML-file in Firefox. Before I bought the book I read the example pdf's here and copy/pasted the following sorting function into Komodo edtior:
[7,
3,
11].sort(
function
(a,b){
return
a-b})
When I open the file in Firefox I surprisingly get:
7,3,11
I think it is notable that the result is in the same order as written in the editor.
But when I fix it to more readable code:
[7,3,11].sort(function(a,b){return a-b})
It gets right:
3,7,11
How can this happen? Can’t the language handle scattered code or is there something odd with this editor or am I, which I think would be excessive to say, violating the code?
Maybe there should be a codeline checker or something that prevents things like this to happen, or am I way off?--Christer Nilsson #51098: This is not an error that comes from the book. I think it's more of a problem that comes from integrating different programs which uncover pro ...more... |

#50308: There can not be a single sratdand metric for comparison of all catgories of websites. For example, clicks can't be used for a comic website, something like xkcd. Similarly page views cant be used for AJAX based sites as you mentioned. It's all about competition within a particular category of web content, you have to choose a gauge that suits your needs the best.--WYNSMSuVeMcgZaInXSN #50308: There can not be a single sratdand metric for comparison of all catgories of websites.
