Anyways, this is the script. It works with a variation on a CSS menu so that onmouseover of the li whose parent ul is “select”, it grabs the parent’s parent, picks the parent’s kid (aka the sibling of “select”) that is named “current” and changes the class name.

Just today, I found this which points out the behavior whatever:hover (somewhat like the png fix). I remember hearing about whatever:hover but forgot of course and I think it’s a very good thing to not forget. If not for ie6 and the need to not have the current tab itself disappear when it is hovered over it could’ve been this simple:

#nav:hover ul.current a,

#nav:hover ul.current a span {background:none;}

Instead I’ve got all this junk in my header:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--//--><![CDATA[//><!--
function menuhover_currentoff() {
var list = document.getElementById("nav").getElementsByTagName("LI");
for (var i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
list[i].onmouseover=function() {
if (this.parentNode.className==”select”){
var list_uncles = document.getElementById(”nav”).getElementsByTagName(”UL”);
for (var j=0; j<list_uncles.length; j++){
if(list_uncles[j].className==”current”){
list_uncles[j].className=list_uncles[j].className.replace(”current”, “current_over”);
}
}
}
}
list[i].onmouseout=function() {
var list_uncles = document.getElementById(”nav”).getElementsByTagName(”UL”);
for (var j=0; j<list_uncles.length; j++){
if(list_uncles[j].className==”current_over”){
list_uncles[j].className=list_uncles[j].className.replace(”current_over”, “current”);
}
}
}
}
}
window.onload = menuhover_currentoff;
//–><!]]>
</script>

RSS feed styling with CSS and XSLT, and here

Read this a long time (year?) ago and the magic of google found it again for me. Interesting analysis/redesign of Amazon, Soutwest, Yahoo movies components,

I just saw this on TV and thought it was So Funny. It’s such a perfect combination of ridiculous Michael Bay + ridiculous explosions + ridiculous Wes Anderson-ness + ridiculous shilling.Maybe if they just make commercials interesting, they wouldn’t have to force people to watch the with fast-forward disabled onDemand.

Here’s another I saw tonight:

I hate having reference books I never read, much less “reference” so I’d like to see it in the person before adding it to the bookshelf. Also I rather wish they had included a chapter that was a little more “art” and utilized the advertised “full color pictures” more…

An example:

TT: “I have a form where there are 4 options and the owner of the form wants two of the options to appear and be inactive. I think that would mean a span containing grey text and is there a way to create an unclickable checkbox form control?…Oh yeah, what would you call the span? Inactive?”

24 HRS BEFORE: I was googling for the Inman article on safari text inputs and instead somehow found “Shawn asks the CSS guy about styling disabled text inputs“. Whatever, right? I’ve never used it before and probably will never hear of the disabled attribute again….

Still, I hear that blogs are the new resume and it’s becoming so there’s just too much face lost when I sheepishly tell people that, yes I make webpages but no, I don’t have a webpage. Also it’s damn hard to keep track of all this stuff on the internet that I read.

So hello world, here I go throwing my lot in with the “bloggers”.*

*But I will not compromise on having a MySpace page. :shudder:
