Shadowbox is a cross-browser, cross-platform, cleanly-coded and fully-documented media viewer application written entirely in JavaScript. Using Shadowbox, website authors can display a wide assortment of media in all major browsers without navigating away from the linking page.

var div = document.getElementsByTagName("div"); var fragment = document.createDocumentFragment(); for ( var e = 0; e < elems.length; e++ ) {         fragment.appendChild( elems[e] ); } for ( var i = 0; i < div.length; i++ ) {         div[i].appendChild( fragment.cloneNode(true) ); }

Oni is a framework for managing the control flow of concurrent applications. There are two central ideas to Oni: To make concurrent actions composable by implementing 'pseudo-sequential' control structures with which asynchronous actions can be choreographed in the same way in which traditional sequential control structures are used to choreograph conventional synchronous actions. Ok, I'm not sure I even understand that myself. But please read on anyway :-) To leverage the facilities of a "host language" rather than implement a complete programming language from scratch. Oni can be implemented as a set of functions ("Oni operators") in a suitable host language, such as JavaScript or C++ (any reasonable language will do). Our current implementation, dubbed Oni/JS, is in JavaScript, targeted at in-browser use (should work in any modern browser - FF, Chrome, Safari, IE, ...). Oni requires no preprocessing or precompilation; an Oni program is a just an expression in the host language.
