Javascripting
Sunday, January 5th, 2003 08:44 pmI'm pleased with myself - I've finally fixed the problem that was making my FAQ for the department not appear in Internet Explorer. It looks like IE has some bug that means CSS interferes with javascript - removing the link to the stylesheet got rid of the problem.
Actually, javascript is still pretty much a mystery to me - I just copy and paste things I like the look of (in this case it was from JavaScript Source). I should get around to learning it properly, though. It's very limited compared to Perl/CGI, but looks a lot easier, and is suited to some of the things I want to do, such as online quizzes (OK, I could do that with Perl, but it's a pain, especially since our security procedures don't allow embedding CGI calls in regular web pages).
