// Use absolute URLs to navigate to anything not in your Router.
// Note: this version works with IE. Backbone.history.navigate will automatically route the IE user to the appropriate hash URL

// Use delegation to avoid initial DOM selection and allow all matching elements to bubble
$(document).delegate("a", "click", function(evt) {
  // Get the anchor href and protcol
  var href = $(this).attr("href");
  var protocol = this.protocol + "//";

  // Ensure the protocol is not part of URL, meaning its relative.

JavaScript exercise for ACT.md UI Engineer position

Your task is to implement a view that is able to display a list of video titles using a paginated search API; in this case, Google's YouTube API.

You may use any JavaScript framework you like. At ACT.md we use Backbone and Marionette, but choose Angular, Ember, etc., if that's more comfortable.

There are also many ways to approach the UX of this problem -- you can pick your favorite. For example:

<%= form_for(@sundae) do |f| %>
  <!--
    collection_check_boxes requires 4 parameters, the last two are methods that access
    the value and text from the collection, respectively. Hence the need for
    SundaesHelper.valid_flavors!
  -->
  <%= f.collection_check_boxes(:flavor_list, valid_flavors, :first, :first) do |b| %>
    <!-- FYI: I use Bootstrap 4, so I customized how the checkboxes would render -->
