Nothing to say

I’ve got a friend who is doing web design professionally, now. For being generally untrained on the subject, she’s putting together some good stuff for very good rates. I’ve been offering some feedback and support with the project, and it’s been motivating for me (which is a good thing). As a result, tonight, I put together a tiny demo page where I illustrated two things.

Firstly, how to have Javascript display a message when Javascript is, in fact, disabled (instead of the scripted content breaking, or not showing up at all.)

The second part was how to integrate a flash MP3 player. There is a project on Sourceforge (therefore Open Source) called, simply, Music Player that uses XSPF files to load your playlist into a box-, bar-, or button-sized player. There are several options available, from autoplay and loop to display text, and it is very simple to load. The entire process of downloading, reading, learning, uploading, tinkering, and SUCCESS took less than half an hour, and I was doing a couple other things at the time. Very simple.

You can find the demo page, for as long as I keep it up, here: http://ruiz.cabeen.net/testy/  (I chose that site because cabeen.net itself is blocked at the office, but the subdomains aren’t.)
