DOM Scripting comments: Using DOM Scripting to Plug the Holes in CSS http://domscripting.com/blog/display/80 The audio from my @media presentation is online. I’ve had it transcribed. en Des Traynor http://domscripting.com/blog/display.php/80#comment640 Hi Jeremy, Most of the time when I look at peoples slides on the web, I get very little out of them. Usually just "ooh, thats an interesting font" , or "Aww, look, a picture of his puppy". But your talk and transcript are really useful and educational. Fair play. Look forward to seeing you at dConstruct

Thanks for the transcript, it’s very helpful. I have just ordered your book and I want to ask if the scripts in the book work with Firefox or there could be some hidden problems with implementation (please, have a look at my comments above).

Thanks for your answer in advance.

… element.className = " "; element.className = name; …

This results in class "veventodd" (without the space!) in Firefox.

This one works properly:

… element.className = " " name; …

Interesting… Anybody knows why?

I was also rather impressed with the little DOM-powered slideshow system you have going there to accompany it. Nice to see such lean markup, especially when it works so effectively.

I was indeed describing situation three which, as I pointed out, was less than ideal. I didn’t say that multiple background images could be "accomplished effectively" with DOM Scripting — I just offered up one of three, equally unsatisfactory solutions.

Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

Its kinda difficult listening to the transcription and trying to make educated guesses as to when to click for the next slide, but eh, what the heck. All part of the fun.

There was one thing that confused me a little however. You spoke of the lack of CSS support for mulitple background images and the three (particularly bad) options available to developers; accept partial CSS support, use convoluted markup (in this case, DIVs to make corner images), or the latter - convoluted markup - except with it [markup] being generated by Javascript and the DOM on the fly. All fair points I agree. However you went on to describe how multiple background images - the Kobayashi Maru scenario - could be acomplished effectively with Javascript and the DOM - but was that not the same as solution 3 you spoke of? As you put it "passing the buck"? Are you not putting markup into the document on the fly? or have I missed the boat somewhere?

Cheers mate
