For all you javascript users. I was stunned that i didn’t think of this earlier but you see to much programming causes blindness. But when i saw it it was so funny a had to share it:

You know how you write document.getElementById(‘some\_object’).value, for the 10000 time.  
This is my new insight:

function dog(id)  
{  
return document.getElementById( id );  
}

so now i can write:  
dog(‘some\_object’).value

it makes my code so much shorter and it’s better readable too…
