No real reason to post. Nothing really to say. But I’m here, I have some computer time, and I’ve got nothing better to do. Plus, an inactive blog is a boring blog. Now this is an active, boring blog. Hooray.

So, there I was, minding my own business, when WHAM! Nothing happened.

I’m hungry.

Oh, and I finally found a book that is successfully teaching me DOM/JavaScript. I’ve been trying literally for years to learn scripting, but it never seemed to work. But now I found this book, and it’s finally working. I created this page by reading the book. But don’t get too excited; that page is actually just copied from the lessons in the book. The key part is that I actually know what’s going on, and why the scripting works. Also, if you view the source of that page, you’ll see that there are no javascript dealies in the body of the document. Only the link to the JS file in the head. Thus, “graceful degradation”. The links even work as normal links. A good way to prove that is to middle-click a link (mouse-wheel click) and watch as it magically opens just the picture in a new tab. Isn’t that fancy? I’ll probably put up other stuff as I learn it, too. But for now, enjoy that really simple, but finally understood, bit of scripty goodness.
