I agree. Although inline IFs are useful, that code looks as bad as it would look in the more traditional IF { } block form. I'm not convinced it's been generated by an obfuscator though.

Not being very much interested in web-stuff, yet I am proud of my new home-page, NOT ONE line of javascript - did you know that CSS can be used to achieve much of the "hover" functionality, which was all I ever wanted to customize, basically.

As others have said there is nothing demented or intentionally spiteful about this at all. They simply used an optimization tool (minifier), which removes all white space and uses the minimum amount of characters for variables. It compresses JavaScript quite a bit for downloading. It is a highly common, and very recommended, practice.
The actual source code with all comments and descriptive variable names is on the project site.

Anytime I see variables like a0, a1, a2 etc. it's probably because the code has been run through a compression or obfuscation utility to make it smaller and less likely to be swiped. I'm guessing that's what's happened here.
[edit: and if I'd read the responses so far I'd have seen that my reply was redundant].
Cheers,

Yes. my master. 
I'd blame it on the Brain farts.. But let's be honest, it really is more like a Methane factory between my ears some days then it is anything else...

I 100% agree with you. Good code is readable. Code that is difficult to read leaves space for difficulty to find bugs which cost the company money.
Maybee its a form of insecurity these guys have. E.g. If I make my code impossible to read, they'll have to keep me employed.

Wasn't sure whether to post this in Clever code or here, but found this snippet in a link on VS standards compliance (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8yk3t00s%28v=vs.71%29.aspx[^]
template <class T>
struct S
{
template<class U> void f(U);
};
template<class T> template <class U> void S<T>::f(U)
{
}
It made me smile this morning. If you're thinking of complaining then just S<T>::f(U).

The Boss is wondering why I'm laughing. 
Probably also wondering why the app isn't done, but that's neither here nor there.

Practical joke at its best...

That has to be the funniest code snippet I've ever seen! Should definitely have gone in clever code. 
And that comment ("defined out of line") just makes it that much better!

Wonder why they have written
S<T>::f(U) ??

It's definitely not a clever code. Somebody smokes joint too often.

a collegue of mine, from a village near Rome, uses to say "fresco": it means basically "stuff", and he really abuses the word.
When he explains your code to you, he sounds like this:
"Well, I coded a 'fresco' that takes two other 'frescos' and move them around, while another couple of lists of 'frescos'...."
He also claims being a jQuery expert... so this is a jQuery example of his "frescoes"
$(".TimeoutInMinutes").change(function() {
UpdateSave($(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().attr("id"));
});
$(".Iteration").change(function() {
UpdateSave($(this).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().attr("id"));
});

This is not hard to unerstand. As a kid I watched the Smurfs on TV a lot. Watching that a lot made me familiar with their language. The language your co-worker speaks seems closely related to the Smurfs language. A basic rule for this language family is to replace every noun with another word, in your co-workers language this word is 'fresco'.
Learning a new language is never easy, but with a bit of practice you'll get there!

This language seems harder to decipher...
It's an OO world.

yup, a language very easy to speak but almost impossible to understand eheh.. it's like a noninvertible function

smurfs rock!

I can not see anything to complain about!
He talks about frescos[^] and revers to the 6. generation of parents - this sound fine to me.
The time should kind of fit.

and here's another one... it's ROBUST jquery :p
$(this).parent().parent().parent().children("tr:nth-child(1)").children("td").children().children().children().children(":nth-child(2)")children(".MultilineTextBox").val("!" + Out);
|

Yeah, that is a really ugly querry of "frescoes".
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Is fresco Italian for widget? I'm hungry, how do you ever stop eating over there?! I'm 50% Italian, my mother was born there, but I've never visited. I would have to stay though, because I wouldn't fit on the plane back.

"fresco" means something "fresh". I can't think of an word sounding the same with a useful meaning in software developing.
