The declaration of the stupidFunction() does not count either for the same reasons. The coma in the line /* 03 */ is ok, since it simply separates the parameters of a function.

The topic of this month is to add some value to a basic markup ( it would be great if the markup was in valid HTML or XHTML ). The added value can be :

stylistic : by eventually touching the markup to beautify it or fix some browser bugs
functionnal : adding some features like those around the textarea below
or anything else

As usual, the main rule is to make your script in 20 lines of (effective) code.
Comas shouldn't be used to execute several instructions on the same line
See the code sample below to illustrate the basic rules :

code:

<script type="text/javascript">



            document.body.onclick = function()

            {

/* 01 */        val = prompt( 'enter a number' );

/* 02 */        for( i=0; i<10; i++ )

                {

/* 03 */            alert( stupidFunction( val, i ) )

                }

            }



            function stupidFunction( a, b )

            {

/* 04 */        return a>b?a:b; // I said it was a stupid function

            }



</script>

The document.body.onclick = function() does not count as a line as it's not some effective code and the function call could be put in the BODY tag ( or anyother HTML tag ).
The declaration of the stupidFunction() does not count either for the same reasons.
The coma in the line /* 03 */ is ok, since it simply separates the parameters of a function.

In the way of the Sig contest, the comments should be posted in May 20lines Javascript contest - Enhancing markup - comments

Whatever, we're just doing it for fun and the rules are made to be bent.

There seems to be a little confusion about exactly what the competion rules are and what constitutes a valid modification to an HTML tag. After reading the above I am more confused but will submit my competition entry regardless.

http://www.iinet.net.au/~htjs/textbox_history1.htm

As the filename suggests, I've given a textbox a history. The HTML is:

<input type="text" name="tb" history=true>

To retrieve a previous value from the history requires holding CTRL and clickng the textbox.

The javascript is 7 lines. That is unless you count the compound function in one line then there are actually 10 lines total. Hmmmm, 10 lines left over, maybe I gould add a rollover for the textbox?
