Writing Maintainable Javascript Guidelines

We've been doing a lot of Javascript development lately, while writing an Ajax-based web application. Up until recently, my team's Javascript experience consisted mainly of the occasional disable-that-checkbox function inside an .aspx web-form. Nothing wrong with that, I guess, but it doesn't really count. If you're going to write a lot of Javascript, you have to do so in an organized and clean way, or you'll have a maintenance nightmare on your hands. This is not because Javascript...

Careful with that FreeTextBox

I came in need of an ASP.NET text box control that allows the user to enter rich text. Quickly enough I found FreeTextBox , an awesome control that is widely used in several well-known projects (such as Community Server, which hosts the blog you're currently reading). And, as it name suggests, the basic version of the control (which is more than enough for my needs) is free. So I started playing around with it a bit, throwing it in a web-page, editing some HTML and posting the page. Boom. ...A potentially...
