A tweet-sized, fork-to-play, community-curated collection of JavaScript.

How to play

  1. Click the Fork button above to fork this gist.
  2. Modify all the files to according to the rules below.
  3. Save your entry and tweet it up!

Keep in mind that thanks to the awesome sensibilities of the GitHub team, gists are just repos. So feel free to clone yours and work locally for a more comfortable environment, and to allow commit messages.

Rules

All entries must exist in an index.js file, whose contents are

  1. an assignable, valid Javascript expression that
  2. contains no more than 140 bytes, and
  3. does not leak to the global scope.

All entries must also be licensed under the WTFPL or equally permissive license.

For more information

The 140byt.es site hasn't launched yet, but for now follow @140bytes on Twitter.

140byt.es is brought to you by Jed Schmidt. It was inspired by work from Thomas Fuchs and Dustin Diaz.

/* Rules:
(1) anonymous function // make sure
(2) may execute immediately // to annotate
(3) <=140 bytes // your code

Why not both in one function?

function(a,x,y){for(x=y=0;a;a=a.offsetParent)x+=(a.offsetLeft||0),y+=(a.offsetTop||0);return{left:x,top:y}}

Anyway, the offset method is not very precise in some browsers (especially in Quirks mode). A better way to go (if available) is to use getBoundingClientRect, though this results in relative positions to the visible browser window.

:D I made it one function that returns an object. Thanks for the Idea!
I originally did this as part of a "smooth scrolling to hashlink" script.
... I could make it a prototype and the function would be hidden in a getter, so you could do:

document.getElementById("foo").x
document.getElementById("foo").y

it would be a much simpler syntax but the code would be longer...

This reminds me too much of the ambigious old actionscript syntax... I'll rather take the object, thanks.
