This is kind of a part two to my quite popular (well, popular according to the search engines) post Collapsible Tables with Javascript.

This time I went through and extended the features a little. With this script, your users won’t have to keep clicking to collapse/uncollapse objects on your pages. Through Javascript setting cookies, and PHP picking up on the cookies, your page will “remember” the state each object should be in. Thus, the things the user has chosen to collapse will stay collapsed and the things they chose to uncollapse will stay uncollapsed.

I also wanted to bring attention to newer users: almost anything can be collapsed. My last post used “table” in the title and many new users seem to think only table rows / tbody’s can be collapsed. But, of course, that is not the case. Collapsing is simply hiding, so anything that can be hidden can effectively be collapsed. This means: tables, lists, buttons, forms, divs, fieldsets etc. (more…)

I haven’t blogged in a little while! My last blog date is July 31st, these last 24 days have just flown past. I really can’t believe it!

Nothing too much is happening over here. I’m kinda slacking on TNT, I spent the last couple of days looking for a CMS to power it but nothing is worth it. Looks like I’ll be hacking it up by myself anyway The programming isn’t the problem, it’s the design. I simply cannot design anything that looks decent! I’ll do my best, though.

The only exciting news I’ve got to report is that I am officially an employee of ePressive LLC! Now I can actually tell people I have a job So I’ve got some reliable income now, instead of my unreliable contract-based “bonuses”. So I’m really ecstatic about that, I was about to go job hunting and I dreaded working at a grocery store or something. This way I work at home and make my own hours. That means I still have time for other stuff (like School and TNT). As long as I get the work done, everything is cool

vBulletin 3.5 is around the corner! Me and Tim have decided we would upgrade Webmaster-Talk to 3.5 quite soon, regardless of a gold version. Right now, it’s in RC 2 (and I’m guessing RC3 will be the last before gold) and it is quite stable, so I’m not worried. It’s worth it! I’ve already got our hacks ported over, ready to go. All we are waiting on is a new design (that’s right! A new design! :-))

Other then that, it’s been pretty boring around here (even if the time has flown). I’ve played more poker, had more driving lessons, seen more movies etc. Nothing too excited Actually, one cool little thing: me and Kevin have started a little production company called LucidFirst. We’ve got our first project underway (I hope I’ll have time!), and it should be a cool watch for any geeks out there and an eye-opener to everyone else.

I think that about wraps it up!
