What's wrong with "element.onmouseover = fn", by the way?

In this way you can attach just one function to the event. Other way allows for more flexibility. http://www.quirksmode.org/js/events_tradmod.html http://www.quirksmode.org/js/events_advanced.html But I guess interviewer was not implying onmouseover was "wrong", just probing how much does candidate know about the topic.

Alright. To me it sounded a bit like onmouseover was used only by bad programmers.

I'm on this team, working with javascript with a side of PHP. Isaac nailed the description and we hope you'll consider the challenge. It's an awesome group with plenty of engaging problems left to solve. Gearing up for the Y! Homepage is only one of them. More: http://developer.yahoo.com/yap/ If interested, send your resume to rburke at yahoo-inc dot com and include Hacker News in the subject.

Applying in the yahoo career portal is the worst crap they don't even review the application but they call them self as hiring.

But... why are you going through the career portal anyhow...?

You've got someone (reid) here who's currently on the team, and me, who's leaving the team and creating the opening. We're giving you email addresses and offering to send your resume directly to the hiring manager.

It seems like you just want to complain. For the record, yes, Yahoo recruiters do review the applications submitted to the career portal, as well as resumes posted just about anywhere else. Maybe you're just bitter because you weren't hired?

I'm kinda curious why you would ever use onmouseover when attachEvent/addEventListener are available? I just took out the remaining calls to .onEvent handlers in websearch's JS library - the only browsers that don't support the W3C/IE event models are so ancient that they don't get JS anyway, and there's not much point using a method that's unnecessary on modern browsers and does the wrong thing anyway.

So yeah, my interviewer wasn't implying that onmouseover is used only by bad programmers, but I am. ;-)

EDIT: I would love to hear what exactly is "offending" people in the following. "Any one hiring in india?" As far as I can see all the jobs above are in the United States. (Edit : changed order of paragraphs to address Paras's comment below) Most software companies in India are either body shoppers (TCS, Wipro, Infosys) or are "Offshore Developement Centres" (ODC) (e.g IBM, Intuit, etc) which do crap work no one in t…

Have you taken a look at zoho.com

Is zoho hiring?

Russia, anyone?

As far as I remember, Qik ( http://www.qik.com ) was hiring Ruby gurus recently, and Parallels ( http://www.parallels.com ) constantly looks for Java/C++ engineers. Both are in Moscow. Privet. :)

Привет :)

Not exactly not specialties, but thanks for the info. Funny that you've mentioned Parallels--they are about as much of a start-up as Google.

Maybe I only need one event handler, or maybe I've baked a function that calls another function?

Besides, I'd rather use one standard method that works across browsers than choose one based on the user's browser. Would you call that bad programming? :p

Nowadays I generally use jQuery (.click(fn)) though.

Ah, okay. Most of the stuff I've worked on adds events through a library (eg. jQuery.click(fn)), and there's no reason for that library to use onmouseover etc.
