butterflies and ajax.googleapis.com

Filed under: google, ajax, jQuery — tb @ 8:21 pm

In a recent debugging session i changed my include of the jQuery libraries, kindly hosted by Google, from

HTML:
  1. <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>

to

HTML:
  1. <script type="text/javascript" src="http://xajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Notice the extra "x" in front of the url? If you didn't, don't worry, Google didn't seem to notice it either... In fact, you can type anything you'd like in front of the word "ajax", including "butterflies-and-unicorns-ajax.googleapis.com".

I'm sure this is useful for something, and even if it isn't, who could object to Google embracing butterflies and unicorns ;-)

cool :: AJAX APIs Playgroun

Filed under: google, ajax — tb @ 10:31 pm

I just stumbled upon the AJAX APIs Playground (http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/). It's a site with only one purpose: interactive examples of how to use Google Ajax APIs. Better, by far, than countless pages of documentation ;-)
