- > makes me not only cringe, but also wonder about the author Hi, I 'am' the author. Read the first sentence of the article - and you'll see that it's for beginners. What is it that you're wondering about? Does writing a JavaScript library and authoring a book not give any credibility? http://dedchain.dustindiaz.com http://jsdesignpatterns.com I agree, JavaScript is in fact a beautiful language, much more than you might know ;)

- JavaScript is such a nice language which is way more capable than these doubtful suggestions indicate. Replacing the clearly understandable method "document.getElementById" by a method simply called "get" makes me not only cringe, but also wonder about the author. "get" what? Horses, shoes? Function names must be descriptive or you're going to lose maintainability. Besides that, implementing these helper methods as prototype extensions to the Element object would be nicer than as standalone functions. That way you tie functionality to the appropriate scope.
