javascript - Is it a bad idea to modify Event.prototype for cross-browser event.preventDefault();? -


pretty straightforward question. < ie8 doesn't support event.preventdefault(), i'd modify event.prototype ie add own preventdefault method utilizing event.returnvalue. simple task, bad idea?

so far, in opinion, best answer question it's not bad idea. doesn't mean screwing around prototype in general or other methods of event idea, normalizing event.preventdefault() seems entirely harmless– no, helpful.

please chime in if can provide better answer.

Eclipse formatter for java ending braces -

i know if it's possible setup eclipse format braces using banner style. we're working code uses banner style formatting , keep consistent within team version control reasons. here's example of banner style formatting not familiar: public class foo { //------------------------ public static void main (string[] args) { boolean condition = true; try { if (condition) { system.out.println ("condition true"); } else system.out.println ("not condition"); } catch (exception ex) { // handle errors } } //------------------------ } update: name style ratliff. experiment java->code style->formatter preferences. "banner style" seems poor use of space given outline view , quick outline functionality.
