I'm not looking for credit. I'm usually only interested in finding a quick solution to the problem at hand. Not too worried about other people borrowing it afterwards. It's not as though you can prevent people from borrowing JavaScript anyway.
I think it's funny that some Web developers like to write blog posts touting some amazing solution that I think should've been obvious or common sense. Not to mention making up cute little trademarks like "AJAX" or whatever. Some things are automatically suggested by the platform's features. For example, when the CSS3 border-radius property was introduced, it was obvious to me that it could be used to make round avatars. People only started jumping on the bandwagon when one of the big sites did it.
