Keeping up to Date January 25th, 2008
Many months ago, we changed from Prototype to jQuery, and couldn't be happier. Sadly, we had this recent commit.
$('.time').each(function(s) {s.innerHTML = date_string;})
This is some perverse hybrid of prototype and jquery. You see, jQuery selectors use the '#' and '.' to denote ID's and classes, respectively. Just like css. $('id_name') in prototype is the equivalent of $('#id_name') in jQuery.
Obviously, this javascript doesn't work. The submitter is not only out of the loop on our framework, but also so lazy as to not check their work. Yes, these people exist.
