Ok I'll be the pendant that says it...you probably can't appropriate the image of Austin Powers for your open source library. Not that Mike Myers seems the type to flip out about it, but his movie studio probably is.
Otherwise, great work...and it behaves reasonably well even on iOS
For the record, I approve and upvoted. I had half-written a comeback but decided I was not actually clever and that I deserve to be mocked. "Pendant" indeed.
I'd guess a non-profit project with such small, incidental, reverent-without-being-misleading image reuse can wait until they receive a souvenir cease-and-desist letter, if ever, before worrying about the rights issues.
That suit supports the idea the project can wait for communication from the rightsholder at negligible risk. (That is, there's no need for ad hoc copyright warnings from third-party non-experts.)
To wit: this is a lawsuit of choice, initiated by a plaintiff (backed by the EFF) who had material briefly taken-down by a DMCA notification. The studio didn't sue: it only sent a take-down, then was itself sued. The studio doesn't appear to be seeking damages, even though the alleged-infringing video has now been up for years (post-counter-notify, with more than 1.2 million views). The studio just wants the take-down honored and the lawsuit dismissed.
Someone had to point it out, yes. I had the same thought and it made me sad. That page is beautiful, quirky and funny, made with DIY love. It's a perfect example of the value of remix culture, adding a touch of originality (yes, originality) to brighten up an otherwise boring github page.
I believe the author picked the cross hatched texture background to match the rest, as well as the font and the muted retro green and orange-red, so it's not like it was a mere copy/paste job, either. More like (apart from the name pun) Austin Powers is just another ingredient, like the colour to paint with, the texture, the font, etc.
Further--this is a personal belief so take it cum grano salis--if one releases a blockbuster film, one of the (intended!) effects is having its iconography engrained in the public's mind and culture. Saying you cannot use imagery that has been force-fed into the public consciousness at all, is like getting hit by a fire hose and being told you're not allowed to drink or wash with the water. And I had this thought, having to fear being punished for using a certain icon to communicate your ideas, is a lot (but not exactly, I do hope you can see the similarities though) like what the Danish cartoonist had to fear when drawing Muhammed. (let me repeat: there's a lot of differences between the situations, but also an eerie similarity)
Anyway, it's a really great library, I'm looking forward to having an excuse to use it.
mouse over to `someFunction`, a small box shows brief description of function, what it does, how many parameters are required, what does optional parameters do.
It's basically a richer version of <span title="text" alt="text"</span>
This is awesome. I'm using http://ace.ajax.org/ right now in production and it's a huge heavyweight pain (but still the best thing out there). If only this had syntax highlighting i'd switch in an instant.
Thanks so much for the LDT link, it's exactly what I was looking for (and thought impossible).
I can't speak for the GP, but my problem with ACE et al. is that they replace the textarea with their own HTML structure (e.g. a div for every line). I understand the reason why, but it means they have to reimplement all the textbox behaviour and they never get it completely right.
For example: when I double-click on a word in the textbox I'm writing this in, and then middle-click somewhere else, the word gets pasted there.
In ACE, it pastes a different text in a different location.
ACE is brilliant if you want to a full-fledged text editor. But it's an overkill if all you need is a normal textarea with some colours.
Hey, this looks handy! I just wrote something kinda similar as part of an ad-hoc UI layer that just had to be done in HTML/JS. At first I was horrified, but by a couple hundred lines in I realized how nice it would feel to finally tame those meager input boxes into full on forces of good. ;)
Great tool and I'm enamored with the layout- scrolling background, AP stays with you.
Not sure how to repeat it every time but weird artifact quirk if one scrolls to the bottom on iPad safari & scrolls back up: http://i.imgur.com/Hby2ZsL.jpg
Right now, it is easy to add support for indentation breaks, but it would function like braces or brackets. I'll look into this for parenthesis tomorrow, thanks!
Since posting and receiving positive feedback, I have added support for unindentation, and multi-line indent/unindent. Will see about adding more features tomorrow! Want to keep this light, it's almost there though. Next is IE support.
This is my FUD regarding adopting AngularJS: most exciting things in Javascript world happen either in the jQuery world, or on top of bare-bones Javascript.
Good work, like it a lot. I almost feel allowing tabs should be a browser based setting, I'd have it enabled, but I can imagine other people wouldn't never need to use a tab.

Your comment was funny and provided value (now I know about your service). Well played.
Getting scolded by a 3 karma account was fun :)

I switched about a year ago and I am very pleased.
EDIT: This shows it off better: http://www.sublimetext.com/
suppose this line:

Also wanted to ask why do you think that ace is a pain? I agree that it's big, but seems to work ok?

> var editor = Behave({
Is it a constructor or not?
The second case is incorrect. The function assigns to "this", which would be undefined in strict mode, or the global object. Very bad either way.
Remember kids: objects are your friend.

The Internet Archive pegs that page to October 2001. That's like 4 or 5 Internets ago.

hgjj]{return}{return}{return}{return}
and it just beachballed. I had to force quit the browser. Happened the second time I tried it too.
The issue is with the ']', and ONLY after I hit the return key. The entire page becomes unresponsive afterwards.
Can we also get Elastic tabstops? http://nickgravgaard.com/elastictabstops/
I built something similar for keeping indentation/bullets/lists on new lines to assist with Markdown in an ordinary textarea -> http://jamiebicknell.github.com/Markdown-Helper/
ps: long time lurker, first time poster.
Sidenote: The name conflicts a bit with http://kennknowles.github.com/behave.js/ - Not sure if that matters to you.
