I’ve used Lightview several times now and most times it’s worked straight away. This time I had a few issues. First off, the script files didn’t live in the usual place on the website, so I had to make sure I targeted them correctly so that effects.js, part of the scriptaculous / prototype library was active. It’s easy enough to test that a file is loading using Firebug in Firefox or the new Developer tools in Safari.

I’ll be full-time freelancing in January 2010 so needed to update the CV / portfolio. As most of the work will be freelance I though it would be better to create a website that showed off some of the work I’ve done over the last 10 years. (I’ve been creating websites for longer than that but nobody wants to see a screengrab of a very old intranet site)
So the new site is at http://dan.atrill.co.uk and looks like this:

A new website for Acupuncture and Shiatsu practitioner Fiona Hurlock has just gone live at www.fionahurlock.com.
Built and designed by Hughes Design, I was asked to assist with some menus on the treatment page.
The menus were quickly implemented using scriptaculous and css so that the menu element changed colour on hover and the arrow to the left changed to a down arrow when clicked using update(). The text “appears” using the Effect object and is hidden using the hide() function again when other menu items are selected. A speedy solution to getting the site live.
