Javascript with Restraint

Please exercise restraint with Javascript. I, like many others, surf the web with dozens of tabs open to preserve my various trains of thought. Every extra snippet of javascript you use to populate static content or add CSS-friendly rollover affects accelerates the heat-death of my Firefox memory usage.

There are other great points about Accessibility, Degradation, and so forth around the web, but this is the pet peeve that’s causing me troubles at the moment.

Field Permissions Plus

This Drupal module provides a more flexible framework from granting and restricting access to the content of CCK fields.

It provides a simple framework by which you can create multiple modules which cooperate in finding some method of granting access to site users, as opposed to CCK’s core permission scheme in which field access modules are effectively looking for ways to deny access.
