Monkeying with the code
April 6th, 2006 — CSS
Well that’s it, the Annual CSS Naked Day is over, so everything is back to normal here.
It was a fun little outing, which gave me some little insights into modifications I need to make to my website. The two things that stand out to me the most are accesskeys for links and tab indexes for forms.
While I’m on that subject, I’ll be launching a new design for this blog sometime soon, one that matches the main sites appearance.

For this day only I am participating in the Annual CSS Naked Day; drop your styles and let everyone see your bits!
So don’t worry if everything looks a bit, naked, it’s all planned.

Recently, while working on my website I’ve become exposed to the Behaviour JavaScript library, which I may say is absolutely wonderful. Very simple and straight forward, completely removes the need for those cursed script tags appended to the bottom of a page; something which I’ve never liked doing but became a bit of a necessary burdon! In short it allows you to execute arbitrary code on elements in the DOM using CSS selectors; so, for example, you can apply a onclick event only to elements which match form fieldset div#items a.add1, very handy indeed!Outside of the web I got my hands on a copy of Star Wars: Empire at War, which is easily the best Star Wars RTS game I’ve played (which isn’t hard). Very entertaining, if a little samey after a while. Definitely worth playing though.
Even further outside of the web — in the real world — Sara and I got tickets for the Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age and Motörhead show in Hyde Park, London. That should be an entertaining night and it’s a very good excuse to get ourselfs down to London again, a city we really enjoyed last time.
1 Any anchors with a class of “add”, within a div with an ID of “items” that itself is within a fieldset in a form tag.
