And then rethinking the entire thing!
Some things are still quite out of my league. I can find my way in Javascript (e.g. jQuery equivalent) but it’s not the same as being a fullblown javascript programmer for years. I need like a legion of examples to do it. Then I need to fuck around with it for hours on end to make sense of it, then I’m lucky to have a “Eureka Moment”. That’s of course not the way to learn what I call ‘a semi-decent programming language’. You actually have to want it, but… I’ve never wanted to program! I want result! Mash up a bunch here and there to get where I want, fine. Learning an entire language to be able to do one little cool thing is overexaggeratin’. I’ll put it on the list to do if I really run out of more sensible stuff to do down the road.
I got it to work eventually, but then I thought: fuck no, it’s not going to work! It would come close, but not precise! If you want to know how much of ‘anal’ Im talking about: I’m getting ready to trash an entire project: the effect onmouseover is perfect, but the image behind it will still show part of the original which isn’t what I wanted! Unless….I CHEAT. Depends if I can overlay the original div with background color white onmouseover… *raises eyebrows* It’s most certainly not the way it’s done, and any practised programmer will go: “I lol’d”…
Nobody will notice the difference and performance wise it isn’t a biggie. Y NOT! I go try my crooked fix for problem. I’ve declared war on this script as it is. If my fix works I’ll come back later pulling my hair out because there will be something else wrong… I just know it!
Edit: I besieged the castle again with my cheating methods: I WUN. Not only did I get that bgcolor white to work, but I also got the zoom in I wanted so much. Yeah. I’m still the meanest ‘generalista’ alive. lol.*raises eyebrows* Impressive huh, and I’ll be the damned idiot going: “Just don’t check out the actual code *grin* “. Even though I got the concept right and know I can move it “somehow”, the problem is going to be positioning. NOT TODAY. *facedesk*
In my search on the web, I came across this total ‘nerd-bitch-fight’. No,”this is how you program this, you idiot!” – one more elitist than the other. Gawd I can’t stand these types of discussions. Even if I’m capable of understanding it: stfu and show me loadtimes pal. Just like Chrome still fucks up grads on svg royally next to Firefox. (I could go on… and on….) Thumbs up on webkit and effects though, burries Mozilla.
I should complain some more, helps clear my mind. Jquery, bitch, I ain’t done with you yet. Momma’s comin’.
