MooTools allows you to easily add event listeners to elements using the addEvent and removeEvent methods. One thing MooTools doesn’t have is a hasEvent method which will check an element’s list of listeners to see if the element has been assigned a specific function per event. I experimented with implementing this functionality and believe I’ve found the best solution.

For reasons of performance and organization, chances are you're going to want to spread returned database results across several pages if a lengthy number are returned. However, doing so manually can be a tedious chore, requiring you to track things such as the number of results per page, the page number, and the current offset of the overarching query result. Recognizing this importance of such a feature, the Zend Framework developers created the Zend_Paginator component, giving developers an easy way to paginate result sets without having to deal with all of the gory details otherwise involved in a custom implementation.

Git (capital "G"; git is the command-line tool) is in many ways designed to be better than Subversion. It is one of many distributed VCSs. My own first experience with these was with Arch/tla, as well as Mercurial, Bazaar, darcs, and a few others. For many reasons, which I'll discuss as far as they are relevant, Git has become popular and is often considered together with Subversion as the two leading choices for a personal or corporate VCS.

Flowplayer is undisputedly a great flash video player versatile enough even for most projects with its free version and Fancybox I had used before in several other projects. Fancybox is a fine modal box capable of showing pretty much any kind of content. The guys over at Flowplayer.org have released their own jQuery tools library which integrates perfectly with Flowplayer. I wanted the best of two worlds.

Out of all the CSS concepts designers have ever used, an award probably needs to be given to the use of Negative Margins as being the most least talked about method of positioning. It’s like an online taboo—everyone’s doing it, yet no one wants to talk about it.

Having a fixed sidenav comes in handy when dealing with blog style websites where the content is extremely tall and there is a need for good amount of scrolling. The fixed navigation allows the user to cruise through the content without scrolling back up to the top to navigate through the rest of the site.
