The only location that gets flagged is the city and that is all. The content that I was using to test the service was from nextstop.com. Loving the concept, though. I also agree with David that having the placemarks link to content would be an amazing idea.

]]> Comment on Event Handling versus Event Delegation by Yaroukh http://www.wait-till-i.com/2006/09/24/event-handling-versus-event-delegation/comment-page-1/#comment-11289 Yaroukh Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:19:57 +0000 #comment-11289 OMG Steve Bush: +1 People, you don't delegate anything! There is no "event handling" vs. "event delegating". When you speak about "delegating events" you still _handle_ events. Events do _bubble_ (many years now) i.e. browser _propagates_ them through DOM - in which process you can "catch" and _handle_ them. And all of this is happenning regardles of where you attach your event-handlers to, ragerdless of where you _handle_ those events. OMG

This is very cool and I'd love to see where it goes. One thing I’d love to see here is having the placemarks link to the actual content. This is very cool and I’d love to see where it goes.

]]> Comment on On password fields masking and Jakob Nielsen by Matthew Kempster http://www.wait-till-i.com/2009/06/26/on-password-fields-masking-and-jakob-nielsen/comment-page-1/#comment-11287 Matthew Kempster Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:48:47 +0000 http://www.wait-till-i.com/?p=901#comment-11287 Christian, What Jakob didn't mention or consider is that there are lots of place where you absolutely are surrounded. Such as at school. When I was at school (just last year) it seemed to be a common thing for kids to try and look at others' passwords. Even if it's just as a joke in a kind of "Haha I know your password" type way! So the idea of unmasking passwords on computers is ridiculous. I would choose not to use a website if the password was not hidden. The script (or general idea of having a hide/unhide option) is great, until you are hit with the exact scenario above where most schools/offices use IE6 as opposed to Firefox. Christian,
