Tough crowd

How about if you add a [X] to the window too because you've got a 'quit' anyway.

Make the logo as wide as the dialog box, remove the dashed border.

Remove the blue colour :geno:

I spent the weekend redoing my website's homepage. Lots of javascript stuff and you'll need a good machine to run it.

It's a continually shrinking wall of dirt, for some reason.

What browser are you using? It works for me in FF/Safari/Chrome.

The clouds slowing to a halt every few seconds is intentional, but the shrinking wall of dirt isn't.

EDIT: Oh my god you use Whitesmith braces what in the name of all that is good and pure is wrong with you

Worse than that, it's a mixture of whitesmith and almost-KNF style due to cut n' pasting

Edit: Fixed the bracing, I think. /*~ Javascript Tutorials ~*/

FF 3.5.2 (it works now, incidentally, but this may be because the time is different).

I think I spotted a bug in the code for certain times and that's fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out

When it's paused, the sun/moon stops but the clouds don't. Not sure if that's intentional, but it's not intuitive.

The clouds slowing to a halt looks kind of odd.

The clouds are now tied into the position of the drag bar, but it doesn't yet accelerate and decelerate as it probably should.

Also any plans to have that page like... do more stuff? Or is it just basically a portal page for the links in the corner?

I'll keep adding to it, yeah. There's this other site I did with lots of tricks (Eg. click on the top-right widget to add shootable tagclouds) which I've kept adding to over the years and I suppose I'll do the same with this one.

I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in coding horrors. A client had already signed off on a print design and they wanted it on the web within a week (including testing, etc.). This design involved horizontally scrolling by clicking on arrows within a non-rectangular shape...

...a photo of two hands and they wanted drop-shadows from the hands on the text below that was scrolling. Also the text might have hyperlinks, and they might want to select the text too. Obviously a PNG overlay would look right but you couldn't interact with the text below so I chopped up the PNG (using CSS sprites) into about 30 parts. It's the most horrible thing I've ever done

Been working on this XML editor (github) that works in the browser.

The techy approach is to to use a single contenteditable=true, but then to use a lot of CSS pseudo-elements within that for the inline interface (because pseudo elements can't be touched by the user). That markup is then mapped to XML and validated in another thread in the browser (with emscripten compiled XmlLint to JavaScript, running in a web worker thread so it doesn't interupt the UI thread).

Have you tested this with any camel case element or attribute values? I have run into issues with the browser automatically setting these to lowercase in the past and breaking some things.

Yeah I guessed that something like that would happen so I don't use the element's .nodeName or actual attributes to generate the XML. The XML is a generated from two attribute values (data-element="nodeName", and data-attribute="{key:value,key2:value}") so it retains the exact casing. So there's basically a dual structure of XML that's separate from the HTML markup and they don't mix.

Can it deal with schemas that include other schemas?

Not currently but I think I have a way around that.

The schema validation code is in C (XMLLint) compiled to JavaScript using emscripten, so the schema resolver is in an almost impenetrable mess of minified JavaScript that I'd prefer not to touch. So I can either do the simple thing and resolve included schemas beforehand (being careful to avoid a billion laughs attack), or try to make the schema resolver use XHR. So yeah I think I can get includes working but it might take a few weeks.
