I am a JavaScript learner and have been researching this matter, but with no success. What is the $ symbol used for in JavaScript besides regular expressions? Any resources or readings regarding this would be appreciated. Thanks.
I became acquainted with it in JavaScript when I started using the Prototype framework. In Prototype, $ is simply the name of an often used function (very, very much simplified - a short for document.getElementById). Personally, I like the terseness of it.
In AngularJS, they use the $ prefix to mean "core Angular functionality". That way, you know which methods and services are added by the framework, and which are custom to your application.
These models, spanning various categories from compact cars to trucks, have been celebrated for their ability to surpass the 200,000-mile mark with minimal major repairs, making them stellar options in the used car market.
The debate between buying a new car versus a used one is common, with valid arguments for both options. Used cars, especially those with a proven track record of reliability, tend to depreciate slower and can be more economical when it comes to insurance premiums and registration costs. Their reliability is often well-documented and cost-of-ownership consistent, giving buyers comfort in their purchase.
The best way to confirm that the used car you want to purchase is a good investment is to bring it to Naylor's for a pre-purchase inspection . We offer a thorough and transparent examination of the vehicle, educating you on the car's current condition and any potential issues that could require repair in the future. This information gives peace of mind and can even be used in negotiating the sale price to compensate for urgent repairs.
I'm not aware of any statistics, but I think Luke Wroblewski would point to the need for "a clear path to completion", which an explicit button provides. A submit button in a form (even a simple search form with a single input) does more than just provide a control for someone to press - it marks the end of the form, clarifies the purpose of the form (assuming the wording of the button is more descriptive than "submit") and serves as a call-to-action to submit, even if the user then decides to perform that action using their keyboard.
Here are some sketchy observations, though I hope others with access to their own analytics data can compare, critique, and share. I'm not confident in the reasoning here. Perhaps this will get us thinking.
After a glance at our search stats (from covenanteyes.com) over the past month, I see an indication that using the enter key is a more frequent action than clicking the button itself. Based on the 2884 searches I'm looking at, it seems that 752 were triggered by a click of a search button and 2132 were triggered by the enter key. So, about 26% used a button and 74% used the enter key.
What leads me to think I see this data? The search form in the top-right corner of our web page has the submit button as an image. As it is named "sa," I can track that in the query string of the search results page. As an INPUT element with a type of IMAGE, the form submits the coordinates of the actual click. So when I click the button, I see something like this in the query string: sa.x=7&sa.y=9. The x and y values vary based on where on the image the person clicked. When I hit the enter key, I see sa.x=0&sa.y=0.
It is possible, though I believe rare, that a person will click the very top left pixel of the button and also get x=0&y=0, but it is so unlikely that I've ignored it. People tend to click somewhere in the middle of the target.
Here is why I seriously question this data. We had 4194 total unique searches, but the URL patterns aren't consistent: they don't all have the sa.x and sa.y parameters. I only evaluated the 2884 that contained the x and y values. Now, when I simply tried the searches to see what happened to the URLs, the x and y values did in fact appear. They always will when those forms are used, because that's how form submissions work.
But still, pretty big assumptions here. Are there other times when they will appear which can also cause the zero values? That would throw off the proportions, perhaps in a large way. Anyone want to grab the baton and run the next leg of reasoning this through?
Both.
I mean, any one.
Usually the search box has an attached button with a magnifying glass.
But, as the user most of the times has her hands in the keyboard (not in the mouse), the search artifact also honors the enter key when the focus in in the search box.
Some users will not dare keying enter and would go for the safe button click.
So offering both options is customary.
Sorry, this isn't a direct answer! But you could measure this quite easily. Add a bit of javascript to amend a hidden form field. If people click the button set a hidden form field one way, if they click set it another. (If it's not set either way, they didn't have JS enabled!).
It would be interesting, especially to measure it against other things such as demographics. I suspect the results would be well correlated with demographics, which might mean you could make a reasonable guess if you knew your audience.
@BryanRobinson's comment on @MattObee's answer matches my experience having worked on designing systems for older people with little (or no) computer experience that novice users click, experienced users hit enter, hence my expectation that demographics will have a large impact.
As an aside, StackExchange's design without a button, just a field could be taken as a (probably quite accurate for this community) expectation that SE users are experienced users. It may be a bit less accurate for som other SE communities though, such as english.stackexchange.com.
There may be other side effects of pregabalin that are not listed here. Contact your healthcare provider if you think you are having a side effect of a medicine. In the U.S., you can report side effects to the FDA at www.fda.gov/medwatch or by calling 800-FDA-1088. In Canada, you can report side effects to Health Canada at www.health.gc.ca/medeffect or by calling 866-234-2345.
Severe Allergic Reactions. Pregabalin may cause allergic reactions, which can be serious. Stop taking pregabalin and get help right away if you have any of the following symptoms of a serious allergic reaction.
Suicidal Thoughts and Actions. Pregabalin may cause suicidal thoughts or actions in a small number of people. If you are about to harm yourself, call 911 or call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Contact your healthcare provider right away if you have any of the following symptoms.
Breathing Problems. Pregabalin can cause slow or shallow breathing, especially if you are taking another medicine that can cause slowed breathing, such as the opioid medicines codeine or oxycodone, or if you already have breathing problems. Tell your healthcare provider if you develop severe sleepiness or trouble breathing, especially when you start pregabalin or when your dose is increased. Get emergency help right away if you experience any of the following symptoms.
Dizziness or Sleepiness. Pregabalin can make you dizzy or sleepy. Do not drive or do other activities that require alertness or coordination until you know how pregabalin affects you.
Fluid Retention and Weight Gain. Pregabalin can cause fluid retention and weight gain, especially when used with other medicines, such as certain medicines used to treat diabetes, like pioglitazone. Contact your healthcare provider if you have swelling in your feet, hands, or legs or if you are gaining weight.
Muscle Problems. Pregabalin may cause muscle problems, including muscle pain, weakness, and tenderness called myopathy. In some people, the muscle may break down (rhabdomyolysis), which can be serious and rarely lead to kidney damage and death. Stop taking pregabalin and get help right away if you have any of the following symptoms of myopathy or rhabdomyolysis.
Severely Low Platelet Levels. Pregabalin can cause you to have a severely low number of platelets in your blood, also called thrombocytopenia. Platelets help to form blood clots. Having a low level of platelets may increase your risk of bleeding. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any of the following symptoms of low platelet levels.
Heart Rhythm Changes. Pregabalin may cause heart rhythm problems that can lead to an irregular heartbeat and fainting. In rare cases, this may cause the heart to suddenly stop beating (cardiac arrest). Some people have a higher risk of this, including people with existing heart disease or who take other medicines that affect the heart. Call your healthcare provider right away or go to the nearest emergency room if you experience any of the following serious symptoms of heart rhythm changes.
If you take the liquid form of pregabalin, use an accurate measuring device to measure your dose. A household spoon is not an accurate measuring device and may cause you to take the wrong dose. Ask your pharmacist to recommend an appropriate measuring device.
Stopping pregabalin suddenly can increase your risk for seizures or withdrawal reactions such as anxiety, diarrhea, headache, trouble sleeping, and nausea. Do not stop taking pregabalin without talking with your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider will tell you how to slowly stop pregabalin.
Tell your healthcare provider about all of your health conditions and any prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, vitamins/minerals, herbal products, and other supplements you are using. This will help them determine if pregabalin is right for you.
Other Medicines and Supplements. Pregabalin may interact with other medicines and supplements. Before using pregabalin, tell your healthcare provider about any prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, vitamins/minerals, herbal products, and other supplements you are using. See the Interactions section for more details.
