Great Weekend and the DOM
Boy, what a great weekend I had. Three of my best friends and I drove to Steamboat on Friday night and met up with some other very good friends. There were about 20 of us total that rented a house and had a great time. It was -21 (F) when we drove up, and about -10 when we went skiing on Saturday. The fun we had made up for the cold, and we actually ran into another friend that we hadn't seen in 5 years! Good times were had by all.
Today, back at the grindstone, I got to start working on a UI prototype. I did a lot of stuff with the DOM in JavaScript and CSS. Man that stuff rocks and makes it so easy to create a truly user-friendly webapp. I was doing pretty simple stuff like changing table row background colors, adding/deleting rows in a table and duplicating rows. Tomorrow, I'll be implementing a client-side sorting script on a table. I'm lucky on this project in that I only need to support IE 5.5+ - which has pretty good DOM support. I developed all day long on IE 6.0 and was amazed when I tested it (at the end of the day) and it actually worked on IE 5.5. Made me smile from ear-to-ear. I checked it in and left before I broke anything.
