MODERATORS
I used to moderate and answer questions on SO, but stopped because at some point you see the 500th question about how to use some javascript function.
Of course I flagged them all as duplicate and linked them to an extensive answer about the specific function, explaining all aspects and edge cases, because I don't think there need to be 500 similatlr answers (who's going to maintain them?)
But yeah, sorry that I didn't fix YOUR code sample, and you had to actually do your homework by yourself.
