Well, since IE 7 (7.0.5730.11) doesn't have a DOM array "attributes", if you want a cross-compatible solution to access the value of, let's say, the "onclick" attribute, you'd have to use:

theobject.getAttributeNode('onclick').value

Using "theobject.getAttribute('onclick')" does not work equally on Firefox and IE, that is, you couldn't expect setAttribute to work with its return value.

So, you've been commiting stuff and doing simple things. Now it's time to get to know simple commands that might help you quite a lot.

Show your local branches: git branch
Show local and remote branches: git branch -a
Listing files changed in each commit: git log --name-only
Note that by using the above command you'd be able to find in which commits you changed a given file, then you could see the changes of that commit by using: git show commit_id_hash

After you have added files to your repository and/or changed old files, you get to a point where you want to make sure the actual state is saved, so that you can go back to that state in the future if you need - that is called commit. That's one of the reasons for using Git.
In order to do that, you run: git status
Which shows the modified files and/or new ones.

You choose which files you want to commit by running: git add filename.ext
You might as well add whole directories: git add directory/

I started using Git in the beginning of 2008, when I started working for Versabanq (London, ON, Canada). I had almost no idea how to use it, just the really basic stuff from Subversion (and I used to use a GUI for svn - subclipse).
So, for those like me, here goes the basic part on how to start with it.

First we must set our global preferences.

git config --global user.name "Your Full Name"
git config --global user.email "whateveryouremailaddressis@domain.com"

If you plan to use Git on Windows, you should probably set these too:

'Long', detailed/specific, System Requirements like this http://www.fogcreek.com/FogBugz/docs/60/topics/setup/UnixSystemRequireme... is what usually calls for a Virtual Machine, specially for such a small load. Fog Creek could very easily have a virtual machine ready for their clients in case they don't want to go through the trouble of figuring all that, and worse: find that they cannot activate (or don't want) one of those.

I was gonna update this page with stuff Canadians should know about Brazil. But I think it's just better if you contact me in case you need :)

In Brazilian universities' graduation, when they call your name to go pick up your diploma, students are usually allowed to choose a song to be played while you walk your way. I got to know the song "Don't worry, be happy" when my girlfriend asked me to find the file so that she could use in her graduation (she ended-up using the one from the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" - "Suddenly I See" though).

"Philosophy of the Camel (unknown author)

Mother and baby camel were lazing around, when suddenly the baby camel asks his mother:
- Why do the camels have humps?
- Well, my son, we are animals of the desert, we need humps to save water, so that's why we are known for surviving without water.
- Right, and why are our legs so long and our feet rounded?
- Son, certainly they are like this to enable us to walk in the desert. With these long legs I keep my body away from the heat of the ground. Regarding the feet being rounded, I can move better in the sand!
