In response to the recent Joe Clark article on A List Apart<\/a> “Facts and Opinion About Fahrner Image Replacement<\/a>“, Peter-Paul Koch<\/a> wrote an article about a possible JavaScript Image Replacement<\/a> alternative. Somewhat independently, Christian Hellmann wrote an article also for JavaScript Image Replacement<\/a>. Peter-Paul Koch had a pair of responses<\/a>, basically saying to Christian: you took my idea, didn’t give me enough credit for it (i.e. link to my site), and your script contains several syntax errors and flaws. I give Peter-Paul credit for standing up for himself, even though he did alienate some people out there with the way he responded. I respect Peter-Paul for speaking his mind pubically and not being afraid of what others think about him, much as Dave Winer<\/a> does, and much the way I took David Flanagan to task for his Netscape 6 petition<\/a>. David’s article had several errors, and at a time when most comments agreed with David, I felt that his article and petition were doing a great disservice by miseducating the public and I told him so. David agreed in part and published a follow-up to his article. Because I spoke up about this, David also respected me enough to ask me to provide technical review for the DOM sections of the 4th edition of his JavaScript the Definitive Guide<\/a>. Peter-Paul provides a great service to the JavaScript community, and does a much better job of writing tutorials than I do (mine tend to be quickly written and never finished or polished). I prefer to quickly learn about how something works, and provide technical feedback to those that write great tutorials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
