Evolution of "Patricia Thirdday Gets To the Point"

Patricia Thirdday

I'm a dabbler at web design and web programming. I'm going to be playing with the site perhaps as much as the stories. I'll record stuff about that here.

Notes/Changelog

  1. 08-16-07 -- Today what I'm thinking about is dynamically displayed content a nd search engines. Specifically, them not seeing the dynamically displayed cont ent. I'm going to build a sitemap.
  2. 08-15-07 -- So the way to link to a particular tab from outside the website will probably be something like parsing the URL and based on that changing the w hich list element is class "selected." Doable but ug.
  3. 08-15-07 -- After all this work with tabs, realize that can't link to any of the tabs seperately. You always get the Stores tab, the tab with class=selecte d. :-(
  4. 08-13-07 -- Got the adding a tab to work with one event handler and one func tion per parent div.
  5. 08-12-07 -- Ran into the issue that if in a tab I have a link, clicking on the link opens a new page, without the tabs. So at first I thought I'd work on the Javascript, CSS magic to make the content appear in the tab. Then I thought maybe having teh content appear in a new tab would be cool. I've spent about 2 days on that. It's not hard to get the new content to open in a new tab via YUI 's tabview, but what I'm working on is reducing the amount of code I need to add each time I add a link.
  6. 08-07 -- Played a little with the CSS style sheets. Increased size of font from "small" to "medium". Did this in modified_example.css.
  7. 08-07 -- Default tab in tabview is set by setting the "selected" attribute f or the
  8. element for the tab you want to be default.
  9. 08-07 -- Played with TabView some. Got a barebone, no styling version of th e markup approach working. Used PHP includes for the content of the tabs. Didn 't degrade as gracefully as I hoped with Javascript turned off, though you could see all the content.
  10. 08-07 -- Going to try out YUI for navigation of the site. Ideas about 3 sec tions: stories, story commentary, site commentary.
  11. 08-07 -- Created RSS feed with vi. Thought about creating a script to take anything dumped in a particular directory and make a feed from it. I want more flexibility about what is in the feed, though. Not bad by hand if you aren't ad ding daily.
