There are no differences: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.scroll

As far as I know, all major browsers support both.

`Window.scrollTo()` is effectively the same as the `window.scroll(x,y)` method. For scrolling a particular distance, use `Window.scrollBy()`.

Also see `Window.scrollByLines()`, `Window.scrollByPages()` and `Element.scrollIntoView()`

MDN - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/scroll



In the absence of deprecation, I prefer `window.scroll` instead of `window.scrollTo`:

* [The specification](https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom-view/#dom-window-scrollto) only describes `window.scrollTo` by referring to `window.scroll`, suggesting that `window.scroll` is authoritative.
* `window.scroll` has ~3M search results; `window.scrollTo` has ~0.5M.

There is [scrollTo, scroll, and scrollBy][1]! Apparently there is no standard covering this functionality so all Browsers may not implement it the same.

I would like to inquire if there is an elegant pythonic way of executing some function on the first loop iteration.
The only possibility I can think of is:

    first = True
    for member in something.get():
        if first:
            root.copy(member)
            first = False
        else:
            somewhereElse.copy(member)
        foo(member)
            

&quot;For&quot; loop first iteration

I&#39;m trying to create a simple structure only dump of my database. Using `mysqldump` gives me a result like:

    /*!40014 SET @OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=@@UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS=0 */;
    /*!40014 SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0 */;
    /*!40101 SET @OLD_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE=&#39;NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO&#39; */;
    /*!40111 SET @OLD_SQL_NOTES=@@SQL_NOTES, SQL_NOTES=0 */;

    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `foo`;
    /*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client     = @@character_set_client */;
    /*!40101 SET character_set_client = utf8 */;

No matter what I try, I just can&#39;t seem to get rid of those comments.

I&#39;m currently using: `mysqldump -p -d --add-drop-table --skip-tz-utc --skip-set-charset -h 127.0.0.1 -u foo bar --result-file=dumpfile.sql`

**Edit:** I do however wish to retain other comments, such as `-- MySQL dump 10.13  Distrib 5.1.41, for Win32 (ia32)`

How can I get rid of these comments in a MySQL dump?

Any idea what, if any, difference there is between `window.scroll(x, y)` and `window.scrollTo(x, y)` [not talking about jQuery]?

Also any ideas as to which browsers support which?
Thanks

What&#39;s the difference between these two ways of declaring a function?

    function someFunc() { ... }

    var someFunc = function() { ... }

I&#39;m not asking in the technical sense. I&#39;m not asking which is better for readability, or which style is preferred.

Declaring functions in JavaScript

In javascript, when using an if statement with  multiple conditions to test for, does javascript test them all regardless, or will it bail before testing them all if it&#39;s already false?

For example:

     a = 1
     b = 2
     c = 1

     if (a==1 &amp;&amp; b==1 &amp;&amp; c==1)

Will javascript test for all 3 of those conditions or, after seeing that b does not equal 1, and is therefore false, will it exit the statement?

I ask from a performance standpoint. If, for instance, I&#39;m testing 3 complex jQuery selectors I&#39;d rather not have jQuery traverse the DOM 3 times if it&#39;s obvious via the first one that it&#39;s going to return FALSE. (In which case it&#39;d make more sense to nest 3 if statements). 

ADDENDUM: More of a curiosity, what is the proper term for this? I notice that many of you use the term &#39;short circuit&#39;. Also, do some languages do this and others dont?

Does a javascript if statement with multiple conditions test all of them?

I recently discovered that in JavaScript, one can do something like the following:

    with (document) {
        write(&#39;foo&#39;);
        body.scrollTop = x;
    }

The down side of this is that each variable needs to be checked to see if it belongs to the document object, creating a significant overhead.

Alternatively, one could do something like this:

    var d = document;
    d.write(&#39;foo&#39;);
    d.body.scrollTop = x;

Are there any situations where the use of the &#39;with&#39; keyword is justified?

Why use &quot;with&quot; keyword in JavaScript?

I&#39;m trying to toggle the visibility of certain DIV elements on a website depending on the class of each DIV. I&#39;m using a basic JavaScript snippet to toggle them. The problem is that the script only uses `getElementById`, as `getElementByClass` is not supported in JavaScript. And unfortunately I do have to use class and not id to name the DIVs because the DIV names are dynamically generated by my XSLT stylesheet using certain category names.

I know that certain browsers now support `getElementByClass`, but since Internet Explorer doesn&#39;t I don&#39;t want to go that route.

I&#39;ve found scripts using functions to get elements by class (such as #8 on this page: http://www.dustindiaz.com/top-ten-javascript/), but I can&#39;t figure out how to integrate them with with my toggle script.

Here&#39;s the HTML code. The DIVs themselves are missing since they are generated on page load with XML/XSLT.

Main Question: How do I get the below Toggle script to get Element by Class instead of get Element by ID?

    &lt;html&gt;
    
    &lt;head&gt;
    
    &lt;!--This is the TOGGLE script--&gt;
    &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
    &lt;!--
        function toggle_visibility(id) {
           var e = document.getElementById(id);
           if(e.style.display == &#39;block&#39;)
              e.style.display = &#39;none&#39;;
           else
              e.style.display = &#39;block&#39;;
        }
    //--&gt;
    &lt;/script&gt;
    
    &lt;/head&gt;
    
    &lt;!--the XML/XSLT page contents will be loaded here, with DIVs named by Class separating dozens of li&#39;s--&gt;
    
    &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;toggle_visibility(&#39;class1&#39;);&quot;&gt;Click here to toggle visibility of class 1 objects&lt;/a&gt;
    
    &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;toggle_visibility(&#39;class2&#39;);&quot;&gt;Click here to toggle visibility of class 2 objects&lt;/a&gt;
    
    &lt;/body&gt;
    &lt;/html&gt;

How to getElementByClass instead of GetElementById with JavaScript?

I&#39;m using HTML5 to program games; the obstacle I&#39;ve run into now is how to play sound effects.

The specific requirements are few in number:

 * Play and mix multiple sounds,
 * Play the same sample multiple times, possibly overlapping playbacks,
 * Interrupt playback of a sample at any point,
 * Preferably play WAV files containing (low quality) raw PCM, but I can convert these, of course.

My first approach was to use the HTML5 `&lt;audio&gt;` element and define all sound effects in my page. Firefox plays the WAV files just peachy, but calling `#play` multiple times doesn&#39;t really play the sample multiple times. From my understanding of the HTML5 spec, the `&lt;audio&gt;` element also tracks playback state, so that explains why.

My immediate thought was to clone the audio elements, so I created the following tiny JavaScript library to do that for me (depends on jQuery):

    var Snd = {
      init: function() {
        $(&quot;audio&quot;).each(function() {
          var src = this.getAttribute(&#39;src&#39;);
          if (src.substring(0, 4) !== &quot;snd/&quot;) { return; }
          // Cut out the basename (strip directory and extension)
          var name = src.substring(4, src.length - 4);
          // Create the helper function, which clones the audio object and plays it
          var Constructor = function() {};
          Constructor.prototype = this;
          Snd[name] = function() {
            var clone = new Constructor();
            clone.play();
            // Return the cloned element, so the caller can interrupt the sound effect
            return clone;
          };
        });
      }
    };

So now I can do `Snd.boom();` from the Firebug console and play `snd/boom.wav`, but I still can&#39;t play the same sample multiple times. It seems that the `&lt;audio&gt;` element is really more of a streaming feature rather than something to play sound effects with.

Is there a clever way to make this happen that I&#39;m missing, preferably using only HTML5 and JavaScript?

I should also mention that, my test environment is Firefox 3.5 on Ubuntu 9.10. The other browsers I&#39;ve tried - Opera, Midori, Chromium, Epiphany - produced varying results. Some don&#39;t play anything, and some throw exceptions.
