Going to spend a fairly lazy day around the pubs of Canterbury, starting with a lunch at Wagamama, and HEY, we got a voucher:

That's from this feature that a friend alerted us to, we'd be going there today anyway though, nice.
Had a good week, felt busy because it was short. Been struggling with some code, at work and on this site. I rewrote a calendar that's in use on several work sites, including Legoland Holidays and Legoland Hotels where it's working really well, and on the "no availability" page of Show and Stay where it still needs a bit of work. The "not live" version of that page is A MESS right now, I didn't like leaving it over the weekend, hope I can remember where I as up to.
See I've also put the sweet titles / tool tip code on both of those sites too. Still working on an experimental version for here too, which I can't quite finish off. It's not just that the colour's changed from black to purple when you hover over a link, now the hover stays in place so long as you are hovered over either the original link, or the new hover itself. I am wanting to put more related links and images and things in there, but at the moment as soon as your mouse runs over any link inside the purple hover box (or in fact any [em]tag[/em] within the hover, like an image or some bold or [em]italics[/em] text) the code says "your mouse is over something new now, I'm closing the box" which is not my intention... maybe I need to get the coordinates of the new box and say keep it open while your mouse is within those coords, and not just when the onMouseOver reports something new...

I've replaced some code at work with sweet titles from Dustin Diaz, that I've been using here for ages - hover over most of the links, more info will probably pop up. The original author has long stopped updating this code, too many stupid comments from users like me probabably, but I've found a little problem and fixed it, so I've updated here and there and you can download the source code if you like. I've made my copy of it all self contained, even though this means duplicating a little code.
The main change was as a result of a problem in IE, where if you're scrolled down the page in certain circumstances the pop up tool tip doesn't appear where the mouse cursor is, it could appear off the page. I found a solution here on about.com, and made a few other changes to put some of my own preferences back in, cheecking if links are local, and tidying up the reported URL etc. It's all self contained, doesn't rely on any other libraries or need any non standard edits to your page, in fact all the benefits can be found on the original sweet titles post.
I might make more changes to this later to implement some ideas I got from www.snap.com and my (kind of messy) artist links too.

Just put some funky javascript on here from this site that does neat fading tool tip mouse over things, I like it. Also made the "reply to this message" page a little bit neater, tidied some things away and copied a bit off flickr.com can you tell what it is..?
UPDATE: Installed the javascript mouseovers on popex now too. Made some changes to the code, and got a link back from the original site. Still got an issue where some other code of mine is inserting title= attributes, and they're being ignored by the new code. Only on here though, on popex they're being picked up fine... Need to do some more investigating too - I'm stripping out the http://www. from the beginning of the url display, I want to find out how to do javascript indexOf wildcards so I can match https:// and mailto: and javascript: and things like that, all in the same line...
