Easy to read code is the best code.

If you want to shrink it down for production, gzip and/or minify.

Still a good post though.

client side code should be as small as possible and that includes JS. Server side code can be as descriptive as you want since it wont travel in the cloud.

Also, Jan code is quite simple to understand if you just add a few line of comments.

Well, the error in IE6 doesn’t matter because most of the website don’t support IE6 anymore ;)

I disagree, you should be in the habit of writing verbose code… cryptic, compressed, unreadable code is never a good idea!

Cute, though!

Hi Jan,

Nice tweetable code.

However my intention was never to send it over as a tweet ;) As you said, a bit longer because it should be self explainatory :D
