Got up to rotate some fluids and noticed that driph had sent me a message to check out the new dynamic mode on kuro5hin. Being the jaded kinda guy I am, I half expect it to be just some cheezy div-hiding coding or something, but it is in fact really doing DOM-based (well, if innerHTML isn’t supported) dynamic imports of nodes (wiring actions through an iframe), which is very nifty (code). We need more cool stuff like this to convince people that JavaScript in fact isn’t a bad thing (speaking of which, I thought rusty hated JS. Who kept him tied down while this happened?).
Obvious improvements of course would be allowing dynamic expansion by thread. Also, there’s probably no reason to remove the node on closing instead of hiding except for the way the placeholders are right now. Still it’s pretty cool that this DHTML widget is up, and being seen and used by real people. Of course I thought the stuff on IHT and Netflix would’ve caught on once people started seeing that, but that didn’t really happen.
Hmm, ok, going back to sleep. I was doing ok until this afternoon when I got sorta dizzy and nauseous and realized I my jaw ached and was swollen and all I really wanted to do was lie down some.
