In iOS, Is GestureRecogizer target action running in a separate thread?

Here is the problem, on the UI of my iPhone app, I have a button and another imageView that accepts Touch gesture recognizer, both have target actions. If I touch the button and the view one at a time, everything is fine. But if I touch these 2 simultaneously, or in rapid succession, things get messed up. The button and gesture handler manipulate the same state variables, so if they run side by side, the result is non-deterministic.





I tried to fix this problem by disabling the button the instant I get into gesture recognizer handler, and enabling it right before exiting the handler. But this doesn't solve my problem!!!





So the only possibility (my guess) is that the gesture recognizer gets triggered when the button handler is running. But this could only happen if they resides in separate threads. So does anyone know if the gesture recognizer handler is running in a different thread? Or, more specific to my problem, what should I do in my situation? Use guard variables to prevent conflict?

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
