Making shortcuts even shorter
-
I found this in JS:
function toggleDiv(divName)
{
$(divName).toggle();
}So using the shortcut:
toggleDiv('foo');, we would end up with 17 characters. Using the unusual long version:$('foo').toggle();, we would end up with 18 characters. -

Maybe it's not terrible after all. Maybe doing it this way a) saved many, many characters in the initial form b) allowed a very quick and safe way of transitioning to the new syntax

Could be, only the project is very new (1 month old) and this function is used on 1 page only (so it was not much work to do a Search & Replace on 1 page).
