Why doesn't JQuery consolidate its constants?



All my constants are near the top of my javascript file like below.





When I search the core JQuery file, nothing comes up for Constant and I can't see that they are pulling out constants? Do they not have any, do they have them spread out throught the code, if so, why don't they consolidate them?





I'm not concerned about the language construct const but the concept of pulling out your constants into one place like below.







var Arc = ( function ( window, undefined )

{



var Constant =

{



/**

* Code Configuration

*/





VALIDATE_ON: 1,

JSON_ON: 0,



/**

* Paths Configuration

*/



ROOT: '',

PICTURES: '../pictures/',

TEXT: '../text/',

FAVICON: '../images/logo_small.ico',

IMAGES: '../images/',

GATEWAY: 'class.ControlEntry.php',



/**

* General Constants

*/



ENTER_KEY: 13,

SECOND: 1000,

MINUTE: 60,

HOUR: 3600,

DAY: 43200,

AML:

{

"PASS": 0,

"FAIL": 1,

"NOTDEFINED": 2

}

};



})(window);

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
