I am primarily a
Java developer, but lately I had to write more and more of javascript. What frustrates me most is that one has to write even the simplest
string manipulation functions as no such libraries are deployed with browsers.
My current problem is creating a "busy processing" widget.
Any suggestion for a simple and slim widget like that? I'd love to be able to redefine the look of it with CSS too, since the look of any UI element evolves all the time and I'd hate to touch the code too much.
I am learning to appreciate the use of CSS, but I find it hard
- to organize styles as far as naming goes
- no inheritance means redefining lots of attributes
- not all style attributes are applicable to all HTML elements so cross-element use of styles is questionable too.
Any
word of advise on this? Does the book address any of them.
