Javascript

How does the web still work?

I hit a web page which, naturally, refused to work properly. So I looked at the NoScript report. This one page ws pulling in scripts from (hand-typed so maybe tpyos) adobedtm.com cdna-assets.com chartbeat.com cloudfront.net criteo.com disqus.com disquscdn.com doubleclick.net dunhilltraveldeals.com effectivemeasure.net facebook.com gigya.com google.com googlesyndication.com googletagservices.com imrworldwide.com inksinmedia.com krxd.net mediavoice.com mmcdn.us ooyala.com optimizely.com outbrain.com parsly.com quantserve.com qubitproducts.com revsci.net scorecardresearch.com skimresources.com visualrevenue.com whistleout.com Boggle!

Teaching myself javascript

My web design skills are a little on the old side. Probably frozen around 1997; Netscape Navigator 2 would probably render most of my stuff properly. As part of the “make work” project I did last month I wanted to try something new. With the existing version if you clicked on a link to get cover-art then it would just be a simple link. You see the image then press “BACK”.
