It's quite difficult to find id's in page. F.e. it's much easier to work with picture and then get id from popup. I use Chrome but feel it can be much better and easier. My question is.

    All major modern browsers are good for javascript developent and debugging.


    Chrome has it's DevTools built-in http://code.google.com/intl/pl-PL/chrome/devtools/
    Firefox has Firebug http://getfirebug.com/
    Internet Explorer (starting with 8) has it's developer tools as well http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/aa740478


    All these tools provide the same (or very close) set of utilities to debug/inspect your code

    They all vary on the javascript engines and have their pros and cons, but jQuery is here to help to remediate these discrepancies to provide you with unified platform that works the same on all browsers.

    As per me, Chrome and Firefox are better for java script. This is because easy nonavailability of debugging tools and development environment.

    Firefox 8.0 and later, apparently, 'cuz scratchpad is so convenient when you need to write some code.
    But scratchpad is yet to be improved since it still lacks many features of a text-editor.

    If anyone finds out an equivalent tool on Google Chrome, pls let me know.

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

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()...
