Netscape 4 or a Cold…
It really sucks to be sick and at work with deadlines looming. My head is so congested, that the thought of thinking about anything more than the basics is causing a headache. Or maybe it was because I somehow forgot about not having caffeine for the past 72 hours.
I did, however, accomplish a few of things on my list for the work site. I finally ditched all of the JavaScript breadcrumbs and migrated the template over to a couple of SSI additions. I used the evolt ASP Breadcrumbs script mixed in with MovableType tags. It solved a problem I had with page titles, but it also solved just the problem of JavaScript.
My next web project is to implement a dual purpose page, Netscape 4 and Print. I’m working on templates that will render in Netscape 4, but can also be used as print pages. I have a template in development, that works well. I’ll probably use the WaSP CSS hidden message to let older browsers know that they can just click the link and see a LoFi version of the site. Then on the regular pages, have a link to a Print version. It’s all CSS, so I’ll tuck away a Print Stylesheet that hides everything except the page text.
But that project will probably be pushed back, since I have two graphic design projects that were not planned until the past few days. One is in Illustrator, and will probably take a solid, non-web, week to finish. The other should only take a day to fix, but then again things change.
The two days I had for a sick day, bored me beyond belief. I slept for most of Tuesday. This new site was designed in those two days, with little tweaks ongoing. I’m a little more wordy today, since I haven’t wrote anything online in a while.
