Excellent article; I had no idea that decrementing a while loop would have such an effect. Also great point on the use of variable caching, I especially like the idea of caching the function call.

Thanks for the comments! I’m glad you all found it helpful.

@Vasili, thanks, I just corrected it.

@Swapnil, good for you, so many people use jQuery and other frameworks without knowing what’s really going on under the surface. Btw Part 2 of that series should be out sometime next week.

This is just great.
I am a full time PHP developer. But want to become much much much better in javascript. Used loops so many times, but never ever thought about performance and ease of use to such a limit. I am a fan of ur small but big snippets.
Just want to take ur suggestions on what to follow to learn much more about javascript. I dont want to blindly adopt jquery or other JS frameworks. Jus want to learn the basics to the best.
Also I am following you tuts on javascript DOM series and waiting for part 2.
